Linux:

JPNZ:

DAM these dropped in price fast. If anyone is looking for one, $999 for 64Gb Brand New on 1day today Black, Lilac and Blue

Wonder if they are Parallel imported? Guess not really much of an issue with them these days is there?

@defragger Yes a imported handset you can miss out on network features that are not enabled on the handset but active on your carrier

John

But you could flash with an NZ firmware for which ever carrier and it's as good as an NZ bought one though right?

Picked up a Coral Blue model from Noel Leeming for $899. First time I've had a flagship phone and I love it. Have always wanted something with an AMOLED display.

Has anyone got a battery/case combo for theirs that they recommend? I'm not seeing much on sale in NZ. Plenty of options on AliExpress but I don't trust the mAh ratings.

To me it's a case of same, same but different.

I guess like every previous update, we'll just get used to the new normal.

I wasn't expecting much after seeing some liked it and some didn't but I do like it.

Very fresh and functional and I haven't noticed anything removed.

Anyone with a Spark variant that uses NextRadio? I bought my wife an S10+ and she wants me to take her S9. The only thing holding me back is I need FM radio which my G6 currently have. I dont have the phone with me yet so not able to test.
