Thanks to the amazing service provided by BQ and also the users of this 
list I found myself with a replacement for my broken phone and a 
discount code for the BQ store. I opted to buy a phone to replace that 
unbearable android monstrosity my partner has. Knowing she would never 
get along with Ubuntu as it's different to what she's used to I opted 
for the Android model and thought nothing of it as it's the same phone.

I was mildly surprised by what turned up in the post. There is no doubt 
it is the same phone as mine yet it is quite different. The first thing 
I noted is that the little pin for removing the sim cards only has one 
spike on it, the one for opening the SD card slot is missing. So I 
looked at the SD slot and was greeted by blank plastic, no cover there 
at all! 2 sim slots just the same but the power button is in the wrong 
place. Where the power button should be is what looks like another sim 
slot, but this time for housing the SD card. The notification light is 
in the wrong place and blinks in an entirely different manner to mine.

All in all it kind of felt like returning home to find someone had 
rearranged all the furniture! It will be very interesting to see how 
this new handset compares to mine from a usability standpoint (crashing, 
hanging, overall speed, etc).
