Haha packaging looks like they didn't make enough room for the "e." Enjoy!

Thanks! It had a dent in the box as well

Looking forward to having a play

The tablet I must say, is stonkingly good! Really impressed with it.

Argos however...they have come back with an offer of compensation...a £10 voucher...which I think is a joke when you look at the fact that, I effectively bought the tablet yesterday and got it delivered today and all week they have been offering a £10 voucher for spending over £100...

                                                                                 

What an absolute joke

Anyone finding their WiFi speeds are a lot slower than other devices in their house? Not sure if it's the metal case or what. It's not really an issue as long as it doesn't affect my browsing, just interesting.

That is twice what amazon gave. and what's more you  have your tablet.
Amazon has still to ship.

Yes - I did notice that the WiFi speeds seemed frankly atrocious at times, I know that my Wifi is pretty good and I sit about 4m away from the router but it still seemed very slow - that and almost all my other devices are wired anyway.

There are reports that depending on how you hold the s5e that you can cover the antenna causing issues with the wifi (a bit like iPhone 4? network gate all those years ago!)

Youtube video here of someone comparing

Funnily enough I have just watched that video, not sure what to make of it. A couple of times my WiFi has dropped to 7mb from my usual 100mb and I only seem able to achieve 50mb at best...

Is it a deal breaker for you? It seems worse as reported in landscape mode when I watch videos.

Why the didn't use glass, just for the sake of a couple of grams I don't know

That's as maybe but when Argos are offering their £10 voucher for spending £100, to me it's not a gesture at all. I'm sorry you don't have yours yet

I'm not sure about deal breaker but it is dissapointing, especially when its not a one off but what appears a design issue - I am considering returning the unit and paying the extra £50 or so for a 4G model - that might not have the same issue as they tend to put a thinner section on the body to allow the LTE antenna to work....
