N1 works great in the UK

bagpuss · 01-07-2010, 01:18 PM

The Register carries an article that talks about how the N1 works in the UK

Yes, the Googlephone works in Blighty ? The Register

I received mine today and can confirm it works great (at least on Vodafone UK)

Got it with or without Vodafone contract?

Where in the UK are you just so it may help people assessing potential coverage provided by Vodafone?

Without a Vodafone contract, it's not yet available with one.
I'm near Reading if it helps.

Very cool!

Did you have to pay all the VAT on top of the original price? There are rumours abound that some people aren't having to pay...

Personally, I haven't yet been asked to pay it :-)

Have you seen references to others who haven't had to pay?

In my experience it's a lottery whether your parcel gets stopped or not.

I'm really only basing what I said on this link to be honest:

But the idea of Google prepaying the VAT sounds a little absurd so I'm trying to find people who have been charged.

I also have a N1 using vodafone (in the UK). I personally think that vodafone coverage in the UK is pretty good and cannot see that being affected by the type of phone that you have.

3G coverage is good too and the speed seems very good too.

Just upgraded from a Blackberry Storm, Signal seems around the same with Vodafone but the hardware is 500% better on the N1

Cant put it down
