There's talk on the net that the Swift is basically a rebranding of this

My old Win CE based Fujitsu GPS was a HTC,HTC themselves making PDAs etc for near everyone.
And likely over half the major beers in the world are owned by just a few companies.

Personally I like the idea of a bit of rebranding, if the product is good.

Well it's definitely made by someone else, and built to order with a custom OS build and branding.

The Storm is also going to be the same.

Wileyfox has never claimed it has its own production facilities.

Might be worth mentioning that Sky Go should work on Wileyfox phones. I know a lot of people have been frustrated in the past with Sky's stance on allowing their app on rooted phones - and even though this isn't rooted, it's a Cyanogen build rather than straight Android.

The Swift is back in stock at Amazon. Thought it wasn't going to be back until the 18th last time I checked.

Might pick one up as a backup to my Oneplus one.

Had an email from them yesterday saying that the Wileyfox Swift will be on sale from the 22nd September.
Would you mind disclosing the address they e-mailed from? I've tried the standard terms with "@wileyfox.com" appended and nothing has come up.
