So cant see why Vodafone wouldn't unlock after 30 days.

Amazon UK is not UK Mobile Network Provider ( like Vodafone, EE, O2, Three etc)-that is why they can sell dual sim phones- still the same rule as I said

Seems like it beats the Moto G4 at the same kind of price?

If you don't mind the hassle then go for it. I personally think it'll be around £250 but time can only tell. Fingers crossed.

is a this much of an upgrade from a smart ultra 6?
Smaller screen so a bit easier to carry about.
3GB RAM v 2GB in SU6
On Android 6 and looks like there will be an upgrade to Android N (7). SU6 won't see Marshmallow from Vodafone.
Looks better than the new Smart Ultra 7

Almost the same in an at least 50% more than this price and quite possibly 60+% more sense

On my lunch break I looked into what sources were saying on the Honor 8; according to here it wouldnt be 'unreasonable' to expect the phone to cost around £300 in the UK. Not sure what to do now :S Might just buy this and then sell it if the Honor 8 is affordable when it is released here. Getting pretty tired of this half broken phone!

Thanks for that - yeah I will see if this phone lasts another few weeks which I'm sure it will. I'd be willing to spend £240 on the Honor 8 for the presumably better camera, even if this P9 lite is only one-hundred-and-sixty (the number one on my keyboard doesn't work as a result of my current phone's cracked screen haha)

Short answer: Yes
Long answer: The more I think about it, this price for the P9 lite brings it more in line with the similar spec'ed Honor 5C. It's very aggressively priced and looks better, it's a great deal. Similarly, we have the Honor 8 which is similar to the P9 and also looks better in my opinion. The best thing is that it should be priced lower than the P9 by quite a bit. I'm expecting around £240. I'm going to wait another few weeks for it.
Take a look at item number 221381719988, its £3.25, listing states lots of Huawei handsets including P9 - I'd send them a message to confirm before buying the handset

Opening post
Have seen it on their website so am guessing that it is a payday deal that they now seem to have every month.
Mandatory top up as well takes it to 159.
Hope this is of some use to someone.

Wonder how long it will take before they change their mind.
