Huawei Panic Over

Thanks @Bambino for the news. All the O2 customers who've been jumping up and down, threatening all sorts can now calm down.

A storm in a teacup indeed.

Though Google has made no official statement as yet. The ban has been lifted 'temporarily for 90 days

"The goal seems to be to prevent internet, computer and cell phone systems from crashing,” said Washington lawyer Kevin Wolf, a former Commerce Department official. “This is not a capitulation. This is housekeeping"

I expect a lot of negotiations were going on last night to come to this point!

There's obviously a lot more to come on this but I think sense will prevail in the end.

Do you think all you O2 guys will still have your company honour when the say" whoops sorry, gotta let you go!"

All these things are happening for a reason. "Think logically not with emotions"

It will all come to a head soon, but by already releasing this information to the world Huawei is now ******.

Again I repeat @StevenGW we are NOT O2 staff! So we have no jobs to lose. In fact, a few of us, myself as an example, are retired and have no jobs at all anymore, and haven't for some time.

I will certainly read in full the article you recommend but please STOP referring to us as "you O2 guys". Thank you!

As a community of customers we are all entitled to air our opinions as indeed you are @StevenGW

We read the same sources as yourself and interpret what we hear and see. Just because our understanding may differ from your does not mean we work for O2 and it's no good ranting about a company who are blameless in this sorry saga between China and Trump. No one really knows what is going to happen but for certain, no current handset will be bricked after the the 90 days.

It's looks a lovely phone @Cleoriff so enjoy. Let us know how it compares to your Note 8, better or worse, or the same.

@jonsie has a point about getting any review in before June and @viridis takes us to a higher plane

@jonsie makes a very good point @StevenGW about O2 which applies to all the other mobile network operators in the same situation as O2. As is Google who, as a US-based company were simply complying with the law as written. To do otherwise, would have incurred, at the very least, huge fines. While we can sympathise with your concern and frustration most of us feel that the situation between Trump and China, which is exactly the problem, could sort itself out in 90 days.

When you say it's big @Cleoriff, I take it it's bigger than your Note 8, which isn't a small phone. How big is big? Just being nosey

I think @Cleoriff was being tongue in cheek with her mini review @Glory1...
