Hi there guys. Couple of days ago I ordered the Black Huawei G300 from Pre Pay Mania. When it arrived it was the silver and white one though. When I logged back on to Pre Pay Mania I saw that the link and item had disappeared then was replaced with a Silver Huawei G300 that was sold out. Someone should really take them to court for misleading a lot of their customers. Luckily I have a nephew who wanted the phone so gave it to him.

Just wondering if anyone knows any place that sells the black one or when the black one is getting released? Just looks so much better than the silver and white one. Oh and any idea when the exact date of the Vodafone tie-in period is over? I'm guessing July 15th?

I think it was a mistake rather than deliberate attempt to miss-lead, you could have sent it back under DSR anyway

So nobody has any idea where to get the black one or when the black one is becoming available to UK folks? =(

I bought a cool black  one (U8818) in Aliexpress , a chinese web site. This is the store where I found it.

Chat with Alex Qu. Is a nice and kind guy. I call him "lightnening" cause when I payed to him he sent the phone almost the same day. He is fast as the lightnening :-) Very kind and also you I got screen protector and case. You can ask him that installs for you ICS if you want. He root the phone for me, he even installed a cool mod ROM.  In 15 days arrived. I agree with you: black rocks in the G300 !!

Hey just thought I'd let you know the one on Amazon isn't actually the black one even though they say its black and one of the pictures is of the black model. The deal was posted on HUKD and its been confirmed that it's the silver and white model. Read the last couple of comments on the deal http://www.hotukdeal...-1238156?page=7

Yeah but those weren't from Amazon direct they were from....pre pay mania through amazon. So Amazon could possibly be right, I doubt it admittedly

Lol, no. They were from Amazon. Read page 7 properly. A woman called Jane ordered them from Amazon and confirmed it was the silver and white one. Read Jane34's posts. Post number #129.

That doesn't state that it was direct from amazon could easily have been marketplace seller and the last one is clear that it was from ppm. Anyway could be right and I'm just being hopeful, seeing as it states 1-3 months for stock anyway at Amazon I'm not exactly hugely optimistic.

I think once you have put on a black jelly/rubber cover the actual colour of the phone doesnt really matter because you cant see it anyhoo. Mine has one of those covers on and it makes it loads less slippy to hold onto and gives it some protection as well.

Peace

Yeah I bought several covers on the Blade but they just annoy me after a while as I change roms so often it's another thing in the way of battery pull.
