Thanks so much Speigei! I think this is exactly what I'm looking for!:D

I'll post again to let you know how things went.

Cheers mate!

If I am not mistaken you get Outlook for free when you buy the dash. I know I got a disk with my mda, and I am pretty sure I got one for my dash as well.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] PCTechNerd:
actually because M$ wants money, you only get a "trial" of outlook. I just downloaded the birdiesync and it works awsome.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] rabbivj:
I use Birdiesync, its actually works pretty damn well. It integrates into Lightning very well too...
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] new_guy:
Is there a free program that functions like birdiesync? I just checked their site and it has onyl a 21 day trial.

Thunderbird can be used portably, like on a thumb drive.

If I had access to an exchange server, I wouldn't need a portable email app (except that OWA sucks donkey balls, so thunderbird is still better).
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] eilering:
FinchSync (http://www.finchsync.com/) works for me.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] jfeldredge:
I recommend the free program Funambol. I am using it to synchronize my phone and Thunderbird. It has a server program, a desktop plugin, and a phone plugin. You can set the server up on your own computer and have it sync when you are connected via USB, sync over the air to your own computer (which requires having a data plan and having an open port on your desktop machine for Funambol to connect through), or you can get a free account at my.funambol.com, which is the approach I used. It can even enable push email, fetching the email from some other email account and pushing it to the phone. I used the latter functionality for a few days, then turned it off, as having the data continuously active drained the battery pretty fast. I still use it for syncing my contacts and calendar.

Hi Guys

Started this forum for UK users.

Anything goes but please be courteous to each other.

Updates and support will be posted in this first post.

Looking forward to ordering my Nexus 5X!
[Nexus 5X General] jiberjaber:
Subscribed, wondering when it will go live on the play store....
[Nexus 5X General] Nicky J:
What about uk price? Has it been confirmed yet? I can only find US price at the moment?
[Nexus 5X General] jiberjaber:
Hmmm, live event has finished and Nexus 6 has gone out of stock at the same time.... F5...F5....repeat! LOL

and as if by magic, the N6 is back in stock again.... as you were!

Ordered 32GB Black - 21-23 Oct estimated delivery. Really pleased we didn't have to wait too long this time round.
[Nexus 5X General] theolondon:
anyone get quicker than 2-3 delivery?
[Nexus 5X General] SlyUK:
Ordering mine in January, looking to get 2 - 2.5 years very good usage out of it :)
[Nexus 5X General] uktechguru:
Poll up for which version you've bought! Hope you all haven't had any major problems.

Just be aware that your bank might block the payment if it is declined so just check with them and on wallet.google.com for details of transactions and payment details.
[Nexus 5X General] iDroid8:
Snaked by Google with that pricing, snaked by specs, snaked by the pitiful 16gb base storage, snaked the apparently stereo speakers which are actually mono, snaked by the lack of a NOTIFICATION LED, what on earth were they thinking? Absolutely not worth it, and unless Google have more stock or something, this is the first nexus launch I've seen where it isn't immediately out of stock - it's been at least an hour, and I can still order it. It seems people don't like it. We've been shafted by Google and LG here, and I don't like it one bit.

The Huawei looks decent though.
[Nexus 5X General] uktechguru:
Unlikely, like everything else "only in America!"
[Nexus 5X General] tosin01:
WIll order it for my mrs as she badly needs a new phone since she smashed the screen on her N5. Will order the ice 16GB for her.

I think it'll wait and see how reviews go before I order mine. I'm happy to stay with my N5 for now.
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
The stats on the phone forum page say 3gb, but it's only 2gb?

Was going to look at the 6p, is it that much bigger ?

Should I or shouldn't I get the 5x?
[Nexus 5X General] jonyid:
16gb black ordered. 16gb was enough for me on my nexus 5 so repeating the same even if it is only another £40 for the 32gb
[Nexus 5X General] Meleagru:

[Nexus 5X General] Tubbby:
I've just looked into doing this as I have a Google Store order. I can't cancel mine as it's in Processing now (target date 26th - 28th).

I know I could just reject the device on delivery and it'll be returned, and could go to Carphone Warehouse now. However I've just looked on their website and while the white and ice blue variants are in stock, it doesn't look like the 32gb Carbon one is. It just says pre-order? No idea if that means they'll have stock before the Google target dates or not..

32gb Carbon must certainly be the most popular pre-order..

Think I'll keep and eye on it but stick with Google on this occasion, but still rather annoying to see it cheaper and potentially available first elsewhere though..

Edit: Added quote.
[Nexus 5X General] dijonemon:
Yeah the Carbon one was still saying 'In Stock' just over an hour or so ago, they must have burned through their stock.
[Nexus 5X General] chenga28:
dispatched now! have a tracking number
[Nexus 5X General] Tubbby:
Ahh that's interesting. Perhaps CPW had limited stock on this, it just happens they can dispatch it earlier. Whereas maybe Google have a lot more stock coming to meet their pre-order commitments properly.

Well, if I can't actually get one from CPW right now that does at least make me feel a little better!
[Nexus 5X General] dijonemon:
The only other thing is if they have any in the stores themselves but certainly my local store did not. Would guess only major cities / busy stores will have them in stock.
[Nexus 5X General] jiberjaber:
My Google order is showing as shipped but no tracking email yet...
[Nexus 5X General] Tubbby:
Guessing you were a 21st-23rd order?
[Nexus 5X General] Hayth:
I've just had my email to say mine has been shipped (32gb carbon) and it'll take 1-3 days. Pleased with that as my ship date was stated as 26 - 28th Oct, just hope the case isn't too far behind as knowing my luck something will happen before it turns up :)
[Nexus 5X General] chenga28:
shipped today - you should receive tomorrow
[Nexus 5X General] pmadden86:
What was your order date? Mine says 26th to 28th and still stuck at pending :( I ordered on 5th October 16gb carbon
[Nexus 5X General] Tubbby:
Mine has now just shipped too (Carbon, 32GB Google Store). My target date was 26th-28th and my order date was 29/09..
[Nexus 5X General] supercakefish:
Still waiting on my Sony Z5 Compact exchange to be dispatched. First one had faulty camera (visibly blurry left corners in all photos). If second one suffers from the same affliction (issue seems to be widespread among users) I will have little choice but to switch to the Nexus 5X.

I'm watching this thread with great interest! Hope it goes well for you all. I may yet be re-joining the Nexus club.
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
5x collected from CPW!:)
[Nexus 5X General] Hayth:
I ordered on the 29th, about 10 mins after the announcement. Hope your order status changes soon!
[Nexus 5X General] pmadden86:
CPW have schooled google on this one! I checked the stock in CPW northern Ireland, there is not a single unit in any store - im stuck on pending and beginning to lose patience with google, might jump ship if stock appears in a Northern Ireland CPW tomorrow.
[Nexus 5X General] jiberjaber:
Yep, tracking number now visable on play store order details, its with Royal Mail parcelfarce now, so maybe a delivery tomorrow :) (fingers crossed)
[Nexus 5X General] chenga28:
24 hr express so will get it tomorrow
[Nexus 5X General] adsk:
Collected my 5x from CPW about 20 minutes ago. I had received the dispatch notification on Thursday but hadn't received email/SMS to confirm it had arrived. I pass my local store on the way home from work so went in on the off-chance.

Currently migrating my settings from my Nexus 4.
[Nexus 5X General] Bei60:
Ordered from Clove. Not a UK citizen to be honest but since I purchased it at a UK store, thought I'd join the discussion...

Should ship on Oct 22nd according to them.
[Nexus 5X General] tosin01:
Just out of curiosity, why did you buy from clove?
[Nexus 5X General] WhiteHartMart:
Finally caved in - ordered from CPW at 3pm today, despatched now and will be with me tomorrow :)
[Nexus 5X General] Nathtech:
People who's phones have shipped from the GStore, what post carrier is delivering it? Last time i ordered with them it was Parcelforce.
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
Loving the N5x, screen is bigger than the N5.

Good old CPW!
[Nexus 5X General] PhoenixTank:
Also curious - I'd never heard of Clove until I saw this post. Might jump ship from Expansys since the stock isn't due for 9-10 days:( !
[Nexus 5X General] Hayth:
Yep, mine's parcels force
[Nexus 5X General] ConorCX:
Anyone here on the EE network? Apparently their WiFi Calling will work with the N5X after some software updates according to them.

Wish Three would offer native WiFi calling instead of their awful app.

http://ee.co.uk/our-company/newsroo...and-5x-on-the-uks-biggest-and-fastest-network
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
Normally EE's WiFi calling only works with its own firmware, do/can they customise the N5x firmware???
[Nexus 5X General] pmadden86:
Is the texture "feel" of the back of the phone the same for all colors? I had a black and a white N5 and the black one had a rubbery feel whereas the white was more slippery - iv ordered the carbon in the hope it is rubbery like the old N5 - can anyone confirm?
[Nexus 5X General] adsk:
The white has a smooth texture and could never be described as rubbery.
[Nexus 5X General] james_m2603:
Received mine from CPW today. Initial impressions very good!
[Nexus 5X General] ConorCX:
I don't think they are able to. I have to assume that they're working with Google for this...

It almost makes me wish I was with EE... But with their absurdly high tariffs it's unlikely I'll be with them in the near future.
[Nexus 5X General] Bei60:
Well, since I don't live in the UK, you'd pretty much 'settle'. But not really, since we're talking about phones which cost a lot of money essentially.

This website was recommended among forums and gadget websites in my country. So far, their customer service was understanding and helpful. I've had many questions about shipping things internationally, VAT stuff, etc.

Hope I won't regret it :)
[Nexus 5X General] [hfm]:
I grey marketed my Galaxy Nexus from Negri back in Nov 2011 because the GSM version was available there and not the US. Paid a pretty penny for it. I doubt I'll have to do that for a Nexus anymore.
[Nexus 5X General] PhoenixTank:
Hey,

Thanks for the response. Believe it or not, I'm British, but I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to VAT. They can zero rate the VAT when shipping to where I am, but if it isn't Amazon, I have to fight hard to get it.

I entirely hear you about the money, 20% is a big deal, and yeah these things are not cheap!

CPW are a joke when it comes to their VAT process, and flat out won't do it for mail out orders.

Expansys would do it, but their preorder system is broken compared to their normal checkout, and has quite probably reset my place in the queue...

Think I'm going to throw some money at Clove as well too, and see which is due to ship out first! Fingers crossed for Clove! :)
[Nexus 5X General] freesoul27:
This is why some people prefer to buy from Clove or Handtec, they shipping internationally, and if you live outside Europe they removing VAT automatically.
[Nexus 5X General] PhilipL:
Hi

Wi-Fi calling is baked in with Marshmallow, if you go to settings and do a search for Wifi, in the list is one for Wi-Fi Calling (well two, pick the one with the radio signal icon) and here you can turn it On and Off, if it is supported by the carrier it will remain on, on mine it goes back to Off on revisiting the setting page. I think if supported the carrier sends a flag and that setting would appear normally in the list of settings. At the moment the setting search is returning all settings and not just applicable settings.

Wi-Fi calling should be following a standard, and I don't think EE are doing anything different, just that they wish to control and validate devices that are allowed to connect at this early implementation.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
Can't see anything about WiFi calling on it.
[Nexus 5X General] Bei60:
I actually emailed them about whether I'll be one of the people who will get their phone shipped on the very first stock.

They guaranteed me that my phone will ship as soon as the first phones will arrive at their warehouse because I preordered early. You should do that too :)

Good luck mate, update on your process.
[Nexus 5X General] PhilipL:
Hi

If you go into settings, and click the search icon at the top and type "Wifi" without the quotes, are you not seeing found options for Wi-Fi calling?

See attached screen shot.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 5X General] pmadden86:
Still not a single 5X unit in CPW stock in Northern Ireland. Every corner of England, Scotland and Wales had stock yesterday at 9am and still does. I guess its only the CPW Northern Ireland ones that are clueless, my friend was in a store asking yesterday and the salesman didn't know what a Nexus 5X was - my google order has been processed and charged now anyway, so no last minute switch to CPW! Hopefully have it by the weekend.
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
Oh yeah i see it! :)

I will switch it back off until EE do something.

How can you work in a mobile phone shop and not be clued up about the latest releases ?

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

Last update for me was loaded on delivery vehicle, so still hoping for today....
[Nexus 5X General] pmadden86:
Just changed to "Shipped" - no tracking number though, where do I find that? Does shipped mean its with parcelforce?

Thanks
[Nexus 5X General] jiberjaber:
If Google play then it should be parcelfarce tracking will be in the email you will get once parcelfarce have collected from Google.

In other news, mine has just arrived..... :)
[Nexus 5X General] pmadden86:
Great - did you order from google? If so was the PF delivery 24 or 48 hour?
[Nexus 5X General] jiberjaber:
Google, PF express 24. Pick up was around 15:00 and delivered 13:10.
[Nexus 5X General] hussan882:
Mine has just been shipped (google) :)
[Nexus 5X General] chenga28:
received!! parcel force 24
[Nexus 5X General] Dirk:
To those of you that received theirs from Parcelforce today, did it come from the Aldershot depot? I'm still hoping mine is on a van heading my way today!
[Nexus 5X General] PhoenixTank:
Unfortunately, got an email today saying that Clove's stock of the black is delayed until 26th/27th, apparently affecting all resellers. The white is still on schedule, but I'm not a big fan, and my blackish case just dispatched!

Still beating Expansys's timeline, at least by a little! I asked Clove about stock, and they did say that when it arrives, they expect to have enough to meet the back orders.
[Nexus 5X General] CodeMonkey:
Mine's allegedly on it's way from Milton Keynes depot.

I managed to grab the day off from work and have been sat waiting for site of a van since 7am.

If your status shows "Loaded for delivery" then it should be out on a van for delivery today.
[Nexus 5X General] Dirk:
Loaded for delivery at 05.04 this morning. It's coming to my work address but they never come here later than noon. Usually much earlier. Perhaps tomorrow is my day!

PITA if you take a day off from work, wait at home all day and the delivery never arrives! Hope yours turns up at least.
[Nexus 5X General] Bei60:
I also just got an email from them about this issue. Tempting but I'll regret it in the long run, I guess we'll have to wait :)
[Nexus 5X General] CodeMonkey:
Cheers. If they fail to deliver for me today then I'll have to get it some other way - need to be in the office the rest of the week, the depot's too far away to make a collection during weekday opening hours and I've got weekend commitments this weekend that will interfere with collection then.

TBH I was expecting delivery to be handled by DHL this time out (per the store's help section) - if I'd known it was going to be ParcelFarce I'd have thought twice about placing the order. They've not got a great track record delivering here from MK depot - lots of "attempted deliveries" without cards / doorbell / knocking.
[Nexus 5X General] Dirk:
Mine just arrived! Driver said it had been a busy day. Hope you get a result too.
[Nexus 5X General] CodeMonkey:
Glad to hear one of us got a result.
[Nexus 5X General] CodeMonkey:
Just chased mine up. Due any minute now apparently, then it will be 3 hours or so of configuration tonight to switch across from my 2014 Moto X.
[Nexus 5X General] scgf:
Carphonewarehouse has been great - £30 cheaper than Google and delivered yesterday :) Loving it, I'm getting the 'Rapid charging' message on all my chargers (always made sure I bought nothing less than 2amp, including my car charger). You can almost see the battery level increasing, lol. A bit stuttery initially, but soon settled down to being silky smooth. I bought the white and I love the egg-shell finish. The fingerprint sensor is amazing, has worked every single time however awkwardly I placed my finger on it.
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
I don't see rapid charging anywhere? :(:(

Edit: ahh I see it on the home screen!

It's on 83% and says it will be full in 40 mins, is that really fast???
[Nexus 5X General] scgf:
Mine was at 70% and it said 25 mins. to full. There's probably a wide range of charging speed considered as 'rapid charging'. Not really checked out the included charger - that will be the benchmark.
[Nexus 5X General] PhilipL:
Hi

It's faster the flatter the battery, so if you are at say 80% or more, the charge rate is slower and more normal up to full. This is a safety and battery protection feature due to the limitation of lithium batteries. So if very empty, you fast charge to about 60 or 70% then it tails off in speed.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 5X General] WhiteHartMart:
My white one arrived at 4.30 and now is set up as I want. I'm impressed tbh - came from an iPhone on recent months and the soft touch feel is welcome after cold hard metal :)

Display looks better than expected and not as warm as the YouTube videos made it look.

Device is super smooth now and early camera use is encouraging. I think we can safely say it's the best Nexus camera yet ;)
[Nexus 5X General] uktechguru:
Just a note about "quick charging" or "faster charging"

I read an article by android-Life which talked about the quick charge feature or "faster charging" as Google calls it.

Seems that the charger that's provided is a 5V/3amp charger which will enable the "faster charging" on the 6P and 5X.

The quick charge 2.0 chargers that we all probably have lying about won't work, per se, with the faster charging as it would on other phones with quick charge enabled. Although the 6P has the Snapdragon 810 v2.1 it doesn't recognise the quick charge 2.0 chargers as compatible so they'll all charge at different levels.

At the moment, we're stuck with the charger provided by Google with the 6P and 5X but if you want another, you'll have to order one from the Play Store until the charger becomes available elsewhere or when others manufacture a compatible charger. That's if any of the manufacturers actually will make one seeing that at the moment the 6P and 5X are the only two phones that need this specific charger.

Shame really but seems there'll be a further cost to those of us that want a second charger. £19.99 on Play Store but not available to order yet - listed as "coming soon".

https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_charger

Droid-Life has tested a number of chargers and listed the output for you to compare:

Just noticed on that website of which I wasn't aware Nexus 5x is covered by 24 months manufacturers warranty. Do you know if that's the case for buying nexus device via CPW ?
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
LG phones are 24 months too - http://selfhelp.carphonewarehouse.c...iew()=c{79ae2a80-f9f3-11de-da00-000000000000}
[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
Nexus is under LG brand than it must be 24 months.
[Nexus 5X General] pmadden86:
CPW warranty would be a fun process if a refund for a cancelled order is anything to go by. Spoke to our South African chums yesterday again, they processed the refund for the 5th time, we are now at 22 days since the order was cancelled. I'm hoping to get it before their "45 day" policy - they didn't seem to have any problems in taking the money the moment the order went through.

Maybe CPW operate under the business law of South Africa now - and no doubt their warranty is the same lol
[Nexus 5X General] viren_s:
I'd call your bank and have them reverse the charge. Tell them you cancelled the order and nothing is happening.
[Nexus 5X General] SlyUK:
As its a manufacturer's warranty, wouldn't it be covered for 24 months no matter where you bought the Nexus 5X ?
[Nexus 5X General] pmadden86:
No - you give it to CPW who send it to be replaced and you get it back when they have fixed it.

Google send you a replacement, then you send them the broken one.
[Nexus 5X General] viren_s:
Warranty means the have to fix a defective device within the 2 year period. 2 year warranty is an EU law.
