Ah that's interesting - I bought a 5T just before Christmas, and got a call from Nationwide saying they suspected fraud from the same card (it was used to buy £300 of stuff from Argos). I called Nationwide back on the public fraud number and it checked out.
I did wonder how anyone got that card number because I very rarely use it for anything other than chip+PIN, contactless or via PayPal...
I had one of these for about a week before sending it back (Expansys run the UK "Honor Store" and the return process was smooth).
Lots of waiting for apps to open / switch. Everything felt too clumsy. Old Android version was unfortunate but not a deal breaker.
Worst was the thing is too damn big. I got a Nexus 5X (yeh, an extra hundred quid) instead and am much happier.
A shame - that fingerprint sensor had a nice swipe gesture :/
vCHS (I was a beta tester) is not cloud - you buy a chunk of reserved capacity managed by vCloud Director in 3 or 12 month terms. Hardly 'spin up, spin down, pay for what you use'
No ability to use Veeam, Zerto or anything else that needs access to the underlying vSphere.
Bezos can sleep soundly.
We bought the standalone Postpath product years ago and are still using it
Their current version still has no Mac support (beyond IMAP) .. it emulates Exchange 2003, but does not emulate Outlook Web Access, so neither Entourage nor recent Mail.app can get full groupware functionality...
