Has anyone else ordered one? I want to try and get away from being totally connected at the weekends so I've ordered one to see how it goes. The only thing missing for me really is WhatsApp but that is supposed to be coming soon.
I've ordered mine from carphone warehouse for £69.99 but I've got £10 from quidco so it's a pretty cheap experiment.

It arrived today. Feels quite nice in hand, it has useable google maps and browser for when required. The best thing was it connected to my contacts through gmail so I didn't have to type them in like I did in the 90's.
It'll be a lot better once the whatsapp app is launched but I'll be switching my sim over to it for the weekend, I'm expecting to get well over a full weekends use out of the battery.

Thats a wounder, are you going to get another one when they are available?
Google maps can find it's location so it must have been an issue with yours. Predictive text is in Settings - personalisation - input method.
My sim is now loaded into mine and my S9+ will be left on the side all weekend. I'll report back how I get on.

Almost 48 hours later and it's been a good weekend. Texting on the keyboard is a bit awkward but it just makes me want to do it less. It's easier just to call someone. Call clarity is spot on.
I played about an hour or so of snake and 2048, took a few photos which aren't actually that bad, it's also been paired with my car for calls on the move.
It was 100% battery power when I put my sim in and it's still on 31%. It has a power saving mode which could extend it further.
I needed to go somewhere earlier which I used google maps to show me the location, I then had to remember where to go rather than using it as a sat nav as it won't do that.
I could really do with whatsapp so that I can keep up with group chats, other than that there have been no drawbacks of using it.
I'm away next weekend so I'll need my S9 for satnav duty but the weekend after the 8110 will be pressed into service again. It was quite nice to have a bit of a digital detox.
