Just noticed that the 6P is available on O2 refresh for £391.99.
Select the 20Gb data plan showing up front payment of £79.99.
Add to that 24 payments of £13.00 = £312.00 and you have £391.99.
Anyone wanting to know how O2 refresh works use Google or search HUKD for similar O2 deals.
Comparable prices are CPW £440 and Amazon £449.
I know that the O2 phone will probably be locked to O2 but having paid the monthly charge in full you should be able to get the unlock code from O2.
Trying to decide whether to go for it myself as I spent £410 on a Nexus 6 last year on Amazon France. Despite receiving a new phone under warranty from Motorola when the back cover started to come adrift, the new phone's back is also heating up badly and the back cover is trying to escape so I'm trying to justify spending almost another £400 on a new phone.

I've been on the ROM scene for years (5k+ posts on XDA) and have compiled some myself, but it's a very small number who will do it.
With that said though, making a stable ROM is hard, certainly on newer phones. Almost every thread on XDA for a custom ROM will have a list of known issues at the top. Very few will have 'none' unless it's a ROM derived from the manufacturers image, or of the same Android level.
The idea of having a device get updated to a newer, stable, version of Android soon after its release by the ROM community is very rare. You get months of bugs, builds and community reports...and reflashes of ROMs when things go wrong. Looking at the ROMs for even the one plus one, which is considered developer friendly, almost all are flagged as 'Alpha/Beta' or 'Experimental' for 6.0.1.
And we're not even getting into the issue of warranty, unlocking bootloaders and the risks root can bring to people who don't know how to use it.
Don't get me wrong, I love the ROM community and have been part of it since I had a O2 XDA Trion, but 99% of phones do not get a stable ROM released for a new version of Android by the community in a reasonable timeframe, if at all. The Nexus range simply has none of those issues, which is why I like them.

I've got this phone too and would highly recommend, for same reasons as above plus software is great

What phone did you guys come from? I tried it in the shop and it felt a bit too big

I came from a OnePlus One, it feels very similar to that. I still find it quite tall but apart from that it's pretty usable with one hand, if you've got reasonable size hands it doesn't feel too big. Depends on what you're potentially upgrading from tho.

I came from an LG G3 and never looked back. You'll get used to the size as it feels really comfortable holding it

EE has this on PAYG @ £410 Inc topup. and unlocking available too. I am on sim-only so they were able to unlock for £8. I think if you are on contract then they won't do it. but the Bay can help u.

Great spec and device, but a bit puzzled as to how this is still commanding £400+ after 8 months?
Played with one, with Android N (Nougat) preview on in the week and is blisteringly fast as a pure google
device :wink:

Hot deal, but it would've been even better if it was the 64GB storage handset

iPhone 6s so it's quite a jump...

one thing that stops me with this phone is the camera. No OIS is a deal breaker unfortunately :disappointed:

It's not a bad camera - it takes pretty good low light shots, one-time my girlfriends I-phone 6 wouldn't take a photo without the flash, whereas my 6P had no trouble and the shot wasn't even grainy :smiley:

That's the only slight negative in this phone. OIS would make it perfect. Still, I went from a Samsung S4 and absolutely love the phone. Front facing speakers are louder than HTC boomsound.
