      – Y6 2019:

      It is time to replace our ailing Wileyfox phones. I have a good relationship with the manager at the Louth CW shop, who is a relative of a very good friend and knows his stuff, which is way more than the pillock at the much larger Grimsby shop. (Don’t get me started on the PCWorld/Currys/CW palace!) The Louth Mgr. told me to look out for this phone coming out and it just popped into the CW website today. Been trying to phone the store this evening, but the chain has cut staff and he is often on his own, which seems daft as I have never seen that shop less than busy.

      From the spec’s in the link, it seems like a good phone for the money and we will have one each. Only problem is concerned with this anti-Huawei krap currently inspired by the Plastic PoTUS. Looking at the spec’s and that situation, what does the team think?

      Grateful for opinions on this, TY guys!

        Unless you need them within a week or so I’d hang on.

        The trumper might have done you a favour. Apparently loads of clueless idiots are selling Huawei phones to the likes of Music Magpie for not a lot. All because of the law that trumper passed which affects Alphabet and therefore Android. Alphabet can’t give Huawei early access to new versions of Android and some other stuff but as Android is open source and Huawei have their own skin it makes little difference. The security patches and so on will still happen.

        There may well be some cracking deals about soon.

        That said it looks good for the money.

          My son asked me the same question about an Honor 8x, the price is down on Amazon since the news.

          Like me he thinks this will all blow over at some stage and it’s only Trump being a prat so he’s going ahead. I would too.

            Thanks Nolan, thanks Dave.

            We have been agonising for long enough over replacing our WFoxes. Tomorrow I will take my missus down to the CW Louth shop and buy the Y6.

              It hasn’t put me off the brand.

                I note that the Y6 comes with the latest  Android 9 (Pie) and Google are committed to upgrades for that os. So it doesn’t put me off either Steve.
