        True. As China should be concerned about Cisco etc equipment.

        As consumers, it is the NSA and DSD getting our data in transit that we should be worried about, not back doors on the handset.

          Indeed.
          Though despite all the NSA/GCHQ invasive conduct, i'd still rather be run by the Americans than the CCP.

    i was thinking about getting it in store tomorrow, so dont have to wait for delivery, had a look in their "all stars" catalogue (the one that starts tomorrow), it's listed as $199 on page4.

    pricing error?

    • hashtagbargain on 06/11/2013 - 20:21

      I sure hope not.

    • Bargaphile on 06/11/2013 - 20:21

      Looks like it, I just checked the catalog too. What's the chances they will send them out anyway? Slim I suppose :(

      • wonderland on 07/11/2013 - 07:37

        Received email with tax invoice, phone will be dispatched today :)

    • tramperleo on 06/11/2013 - 22:54

      It's a special one day deal.The price valid in store only 9am to 5pm tomorrow. Then it will be back to $199.00. Dick Smith has this kind of special one day deal almost everyday. Just different products each day. Pretty sure you will see a big ad in front their store for this daily deal when you arrive there tomorrow.

  • lknight on 06/11/2013 - 20:25
    +2

    Arggh hate them price errors! I don't think this one is because the phone is advertised on their main website and price listed is a graphic, meaning it could not have been a typo :D Maybe it was listed today and the catalogue is yet to be updated. Fingers crossed…

    Also if you read it says deal starts in-store tomorrow and online today after 5 pm.

    • the player on 06/11/2013 - 20:26

      right, its called "dick live daily deal", probably some special deal, not related to the catalogue deal.
      and it does say it starts in store tomorrow.
      sorry for the panic caused, lol…

  • ddhytz on 06/11/2013 - 20:25

    Out of stock, online and click and collect not available.

    • JeBs on 06/11/2013 - 20:39

      The website has been doing this since around 8pm - keep trying as it looks like an error. One moment it's out of stock, next moment it's available.

  • netsurfer on 06/11/2013 - 20:39

    Comment from Systema @ whirlpool forum (http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2133682):

    The obvious corner that Huawei had cut was storage. 4GB ROM with 1GB internal storage available for apps, seriously?

    Now.. my comment…

    For me, personally, it is going to be a backup phone with perhaps some occasional use it as a portable 4G wifi device. Would have still like more usable internal memory space though… But if you don't game a lot on an Android phone, 1GB should still be usable.

    • Flyerone on 06/11/2013 - 20:46

      And Link2SD will take care of a majority of space hogging apps. Assuming you root it first.

  • superforever on 06/11/2013 - 20:49

    There is a problem with their web site keep saying no item in the basket, something like that.

    • JeBs on 06/11/2013 - 20:54

      Keep trying.. could be a temporary error - but was happening to me too. Otherwise it could be out of stock. Don't forget the stores tomorrow if all else fails.

      • superforever on 06/11/2013 - 21:02

        Went to Warringah Mall before they close, the guy said have 2 in stock but couldn't find it.

        Damn it.

        • JeBs on 06/11/2013 - 21:28

          Just phone them in the morning to confirm. If you're lucky they'll hold them aside, because they're not supposed to (for these one day sales).

        • DarwinBoy on 06/11/2013 - 21:31

          That's so dick smith, even ringing them before hand gets the 'yeah we have them, come on in' and when you get there its 'we can't find it'

  • wildwild on 06/11/2013 - 20:55

    Does anyone know if the mic button on the earphones work on this phone to control volume, track etc? My THL W100 does not support this. Thanks.

    • the player on 06/11/2013 - 21:45

      from my experience, it depends on the type of hands free control on the earphones.
      i find earphones that are designed for newer smartphones, work universally across phones with android ginger bread onwards, but usually do nothing for older androids.

  • kronicmacstigator on 06/11/2013 - 21:33

    After getting shafted by dick last time, it would take a hell of a deal for me to take another chance of being screwed again.

    I bit…

    Replacing a Y201 which is being de-moted to wifi/home phone duties. A little more than I would of liked to pay (I'd prefer to pay $0 if I could) but apparently a better phone than the Y300, except the screen isn't anti-scratch glass and doesn't have a FM transmitter.

  • Ronnnie on 06/11/2013 - 21:35

    How hard is this phone to unlock? And root?

    Edit: I need to learn to read the first page comments. :P

  • yjun355 on 06/11/2013 - 21:45

    How does it compare with huawei y300 for $99 as well?

  • bargaino on 06/11/2013 - 21:47

    This is starting to look like the hottest phone on Ozbargain since the Acer Liquid MT.

    Any other notable bargains like this in between?
    (in this mid-range category, not the basement-level y201, or upmarket Nexus4/5)

    • OBone on 06/11/2013 - 22:03

      I got the Huawei G300+ from Dickies a couple of weeks ago for $79 delivered and got an unlock code from our favourite unlock code provider.

  • supercat on 06/11/2013 - 21:49

    In dick smith website it says deal ends at 5 pm today. I am not sure y they haven't removed it from their site.

    • wonderland on 06/11/2013 - 22:00

      It says deal ends at 5pm tomorrow online.

      • supercat on 06/11/2013 - 22:06

    Got one in my shopping cart but it defaults to click and collect and won't let me change it to home delivery. When I then try to check out using any post code for click and collect it won't let me. Doh

    • Ronnnie on 06/11/2013 - 21:54

      Same issue here. lol This seems to be the 2nd deal I missed out on in the last couple of days. Should pay more attention.

    • jv on 06/11/2013 - 22:12

    Nup, no matter what I do, it always selects click and collect and then says none available!

    Tries IE and FF.

      Worked via chrome for me. Once I pressed enter instead of clicking problem went away.

      • b1ackmai1er on 06/11/2013 - 23:10

        Thanks Ronnnie, yes that worked. Geez they make it hard.

        Only store in WA with stock appears to be Armadale.

      • subtorrent on 06/11/2013 - 23:10

        Got the last one from Lilydale Vic thanks to Wafting. Now showing out of stock for that store. However I reckon they won't honour it:

        Product exclusions
        Most products on dicksmith.com.au are available to reserve online and collect in store. There are however some exclusions. These include Gift Cards, iTunes Cards, Pre-paid Mobile Phones & Broadband, along with Wire Rolls & Loose Cable.

        Can't wait for the carry on tomorrow.

  • sydney98 on 06/11/2013 - 23:07

    Home Delivery seems to be working again now…

    Looks like Click & Collect wont be honoured as it's in the T&C's that prepaid aren't allowed and they will contact you to tell you they will cancel the order…

    • subtorrent on 06/11/2013 - 23:29

      Tried it just now. Doesn't work for me.

      • jv on 06/11/2013 - 23:31

        Try it in Internet Explorer…

        Chrome worked for me for click and collect, but no home delivery.
        Then I switched to IE and it allowed home delivery but no click and collect ????

        they probably have a work experience student working on their website….

        • superforever on 06/11/2013 - 23:32

          Me also use chrome click and collect.

        • jv on 06/11/2013 - 23:34

          My order went through using Home Delivery at 11:22pm (Melb time)…

          Keep trying…

        • subtorrent on 06/11/2013 - 23:58

          Tried with IE Chrome and Safari. Only click and collect.

    • sleepy120 on 06/11/2013 - 23:33

      Or they may not even call you to tell you that they have not reserved your order.

    • superforever on 06/11/2013 - 23:33

      I think they won't call to cancel the order because their staff won't read their own web site T&C.

  • slackme on 06/11/2013 - 23:45

    It is back again. Still click and collect only.

    • jv on 06/11/2013 - 23:47

      It's saying $199 on the front screen…

      • slackme on 06/11/2013 - 23:55

        It is on page 4. $199 is on page one. It is very confusing.

      • superforever on 06/11/2013 - 23:55

        But today at 5pm I saw they have it in store with label for $99 but they couldn't find it for me.

      • Duff5000 on 07/11/2013 - 00:28

        DSE fail… on the front page they have the some phone list twice for 2 different prices.

        Says free delivery - has the delivery option greyed out when you go to use it.

        T&Cs say you cant click and collect mobiles - the order system accepts c&c orders for them.

        nice work DSE.

        Ended up putting in two click and collect orders to replace an Optimus 7 and Acer liquid metal. Reluctant to get rid of the acer, built like a tank. Took a dive from the roof of a moving car, battery and back cover were run over. Sat on the side of the road in a massive downpour for about 45 min before i found it. A little drying time, some panel beating of the back cover and it was back to normal.

    got one penrith westfield store on morning to replace my Huawei y300. Locked to VODAFONE, $75.00 needed to unlock from vodafone website. But doesn't matter to vodafone customer as me.

    Using micro sim.
    Definitely need a memory card. only 1G left for your own data.
    Version G526 L22, 3G 850/900/2100Mhz, all Australia 2G, 3G, 4G networks compatible.

    still no MHL ;(

    Very happy to see same convenient Huawei short cut interface and Huawei keyboard as Y300.

    Definitely worth the money.
    Next upgrade, keeping an eye on Huawei P6

    • superforever on 07/11/2013 - 10:51

      Micro SIM how can it cut it by the way?
