You can indeed buy a code, but if you check the thread from last time this deal was posted the consensus seems to be that it cannot be unlocked except by o2 (after 12 months!)

Obviously can't be certain but it's probably not worth buying this phone unless you're happy using it on o2 or Giffgaff - apparently a Tesco mobile sim won't work even though they use o2.

Crap website. Still advertising phones that have been OOS for 6 months+

Can't believe they make smart phones this cheap nowadays!

Posted same deal a couple of months back, found out once it arrived it can ONLY be unlocked by o2 which is expensive and not worth it, don't bother using those cheap websites that give unlock codes, they will end up locking the phone permanently so i just use a giffgaff sim with it and btw the LG K4 on o2 website is a much better phone especially because the touch screen on this Lenovo sucks

this will take a TalkTalk sim right?

No - despite rumours for a couple of years that TalkTalk were going to O2, they are still on Vodafone as of yet.

I use this as a bike computer. Perfect for the job.

Except Samsung doesn't take away the earphone socket, also offers memory expansion and the price does actually go down shortly after release if not on release, unlike Apple's phones.

Apple's price fixing is well known.

I'll pick up the S8 once the price is settling down in a few months. I had played with it in the shop, really well crafted device. Every other phones look really dated next to it.

Well... the cheap eBay unlock code worked for me... haven't played with the device yet... works on three network...

And the marketing team at Samsung will love you. Remember the phone won't be exclusive to you. Millions will own it.

Which network are you running on it? Could you please attach a picture or a screenshot of your main screen showing the network?

I think they already do ... since I bought their S7 already.
‌ But being tight fisted, I never paid the Samsung asking price.

I suspect I will hang around for much lower price before buying the S8.

I paid for an unlock code on eBay 2 days ago and haven't heard back, which one did you use if you don't mind sharing.

Thanks

I don't consider holding off being tight fisted. Let the first day mugs pay full price and subsidise the price drop I'll enjoy soon after launch.

No if it's refresh they will unlock free, if it's a pay as you go they will only unlock after 12 Months of the sim being active and costs £15 so a con

Very good

I bought this to test an app I'm developing, just wanted to see it on a different device (I can't use the emulator in Android Studio). While the app works very well (just what I want), I can't say the same about the phone. Coming from an Elephone P8000 this seems laggy and just about works. Still, everything is OK, YouTube streams OK and everything works as it should. Just don't overload it with apps or be expecting major features.

One caveat, I thought by ordering the Classic PAYG Sim, it came with £10 credit. Unfortunately mine never came with anything, not that it matters much.

Yes that was the case at the time of previous thread when the unlock code was around 10-15 quid. But now it is 1.99 and its working. I just purchased a phone on Monday and got it unlocked today.

Anyone found a shockproof case for this anywhere whether on ebay, aliexpress or elsewhere ?

Just checked my credit bill and noticed that I was not charged for the £10 top-up (1GB data). I'm considering in purchasing another phone.

This is the only place I found on Amazon: Link.

Thanks OP. Bought online and collected locally yesterday, unlocked and working on 3, just now. (28 hours for ebay unlock code )

Thanks, just gone for this! Deal ends at midnight in case anyone else is tempted, so better be quick.
