The flash sale today went on for most of the advertised period.

SO, either they made a bundle by having many units on offer, or interest waned substantially. Or a bit o' both?

I decided not to BUT to buy a 2nd hand Nexus4 and install on that. A few vids show that it is marginally slower on the Nexus4 than the BQ Aquaris E4.5 and that should be enough to give it a spin. Better h/w beckons...
