Wileyfox Swift - worth a punt?

I bought one in September last year when they first came out. I've found the dual sim really useful, one for work and one for private.

Its been fault free and still looks good as new. I got the official case eventually but have to say its pretty poor, its split a little on the corner above the controls. Definitely would have been miffed if I'd paid a tenner for it.

I bought mine as a stopgap as my nexus phone had died. I cant see myself going back to nexus for the foreseeable, this phone does everything I want.

Yes, the charging issue is a bit of a pain, but I've found that lots of cables from Nexus or off ebay work fine.

its a great phone, not just for its price. The camera in video mode could be a bit better (esp indoors) but a go pro has fixed that problem.

With general usage over the last 2 days and only turning Wi-Fi/data off over night I managed to get 37 hours out of the battery.

Pretty impressive.

I'm going to see if I can stretch it even further by only turning on Wi-Fi/data when I need it.

Has anyone bought through Amazon and received their cashback?

I have tried twice now and Wileyfox have rejected the documentation that is available from Amazon to prove purchase.

I'm beginning to think that it's a ploy and that the hope that I will just give up.

I couldn't get any cash back as they removed the retailer form the list after I'd purchased.
Wasn't too much of an issue though as I hadn't paid full price anyway.

Get a smart ultra 6 instead. Far better phone.

I've just bought a BQ Aquaris X5.
Very similar to the Wileyfox but designed in Spain.
O2 are selling them for £135 as part of a contract.
It knocks spots off my Moto G in every way and I really like it.
It's responsive, has a nice screen, has dual SIM and SD card slot.
