Oh yeah, spot on and not uncommon.

Getting a ship ride depends on port, but also some get stuck even after many ships to dealer port have come/go.

Last leg to dealer is even worse; dependent on 3rd party like Reliable to pick stuff up and deliver.

I am still waiting for my GT4RS build to complete. Originally it was supposed to be completed on Jan 24th.... Don't mind the big gap between order confirmed and freeze date: I was holding out for EuroDelivery and PTS....

Agree on premium package.

and maybe consider “Headlight Cleaning System Covers Painted in Exterior Colour” so you don’t have two chrome pimples

Thanks for the suggestions - wasn't sure the smartphone compartment did exactly.

Can you to provide a link, or was this just somebodies guess? It would be surprising that the antenna or the booster amplifier didn't support 5G.

https://www.718forum.com/threads/sma...a-point.25585/

Also know from working with cellular routers (Cradlepoint) that the 4G external antennas we had weren't compatible with 5G and we would have to do a full swap of not just the radio but the antennas in a 5G migration, so the experiences people are reporting makes sense.
