Edited as Code doesn't work any longer! Apologies! Still a bargain price though!
Bought one of these pre-sale and I'm really impressed. The battery life is incredible, and can even be used to charge other devices. Quick as any other phone I've tried (S6, iPhone 6) - great screen too. Little bit heavy due to the battery, but not unreasonably so. Update to Marshmallow expected soon - we'll see! Camera is ok - not as good as LG G4 or iPhone 6 but the hardware is great, so (again hopefully) an update may make it even better.
In stock now and should take about 2 weeks to arrive. I had no extra charges and the tracking worked well.
I know that some people prefer the security of a UK seller - if it goes wrong the onus is on you to pay the return fee - my view is that supporting these companies will pressurise the big names to reduce the prices of their premium phones over the next few years.

If you do, then it has one. If you need dual-sim as well as expandable storage then it's no good.

Just to confirm Roger's comments. I ordered one of these for my VERY tech savvy 15 year old. It;s an extraordinarily good phone and he cannot find a single fault with it (the headphone output is set a little low, but entering MTK engineering mode, you can increase it to deafening levels). He can't kill the battery in a day and I've never seen a heavier user. The build quality is extraordinary too - better than my Redmi Note 2 by far. Not a hint of Chinglish and a lovely vanilla Android experience. 3GB RAM makes it fly along too.
I order from Gearbest (have ordered at least 6 items from them without issue) and it was here 8 days later.

If you buy from any Chinese company your on your own if it goes wrong.
Having said that I've never had any trouble with gearbest.

It's made with Chinesium, you need to deduct at least -50% conversion factor.

Does this have NFC? (can't see it mentioned in specs so presume not).

hi, I bought this phone from gearbest about 3 weeks ago. it doesn't have NFC but instead has something called hotknot. never really used it but it's meant to be an NFC alternative. apart from that the phone is really good
