No was just sent out with the phone (But my spark account manager had ordered the phone for me). Cheers Andrew

For anyone who received your device today, could you please check for updates and let us know what is your current version (before and after any updates)?

WOW its all happening, weird about the watch though.  Was that a one off or are all the phones going to be delivered with watches it will be interesting to see what happens during the day.

Wow that's quick, will text the NL guy that processed my order later for status. 

When I ordered from NL, on the table they had a printed document for internal staff stating the details of the promotion. All handsets will be delivered on the 11th and no phones will be given out before the 12th. I tried my luck to see if it could pick it up today but was told the same thing as the document. Watches need to be ordered once you have the phone since they are tied to the IMEI number.

Think of it like purchasing a ticket for a movie that releases worldwide on the same day

I believe there is a web page set up for the redemption of the watch

Who actually walks around taking 4K video in the dark?

 

 

 

Each to their own but I prefer a lot of the Huawei images in the comparison video.  You seriously saying you don't see the zoom on the Huawei as a redeeming feature over the S10?

 

If you want low light photos that also give green tinge during the day to some scenes, and optical zoom is important (or creepster mode lol) then the p30 pro.

If there werent so many serious issues to the P30 pro and given its weight for a 4300mah battery only, Id jump on it too.

I have a feeling NL phones, headphones and watches will take weeks to get out to people/

I have shot about 1500 photos and hundreds of videos with the P30 Pro under different lighting and never notice any green tint issue. 

I never notice any screen flickering issue at all.  Wonder how many people would even notice it, definitely won't call it serious. If you are a videographer, you would know video can capture all sort of flickering issues that normal eye wouldn't even notice. 

Not saying these issues don't exist. But I would say for 99.99% of normal users that don't spent hours researching for issues, they would not even know such issues exist. Certainly won't call any of them "serious" issue.

On the other hand, the zoom + ridiculous lowlight performance are unmatched by any phone right now, quite likely remain so until the Mate 30 Pro comes out. The phone also runs a bit more responsive and launch apps faster than even the Mate 20 Pro. It also feels great and also light for a 6.5" phone with 4200mah battery

Low light video quality is also very impressive.  Not beating any large sensor camera, but for a phone, it's amazing.

Perfect phone? No, all phone have minor issues and things can improve. 

But it's hard to argue it's probably the best phone out there especially for people want the best camera.
