Introducing Phone (2a) Plus Community Edition
I ordered on flipkart ( India ) but my order is still processing and it says it’s put on hold and hasn’t even been confirmed yet even though Ive already done the payment too :/
Hi @Natalie 
India is not only Delhi
honestly, I’m angry and new to the NOTHING ecosystem. I would’ve paid to show this phone 2aCE in front of the 400 students I teach. just late to the party I guess and my own fault.
sadly, it seems I need to fly to family to Japan immediately to resolve this issue.
I should dispatch some colleagues/friends around Europe/US instead.
Natalie I’m gutted i couldn’t get one…sat by my email all day and occasionally refreshing the store at the same time. If there’s no more to be had (i’m in N. Ireland so popping to Soho is a tad expensive, otherwise i’d camp out all night!) then i’ll just get he regular 2a+, i was putting it off until i was certain i couldn’t get a glowie. Regardless of my devastation, congratulations to all who did snag one, especially the talented winners of the competition. I’m in awe of what you have achieved and Nothing really needs a round of applause for nurturing such talent! I’m now off to tie a glow stick to my CMF1….
I think that it is must to make and sell more of this phones, many community members that want to buy it just not be able to do this.
Just got a notification that mine’s been shipped, excited.

zygerboy sorry wasn’t flexing, just excited but thank you. Please don’t envy me, as I did want Nothing to have as many of these as possible. So real fans can get there hands on them! 
Can post some impressions when it arrives, had a Phone 2a previously and enjoyed the experience (minus Android Auto issue, but that got addressed eventually). Cheers! 
Only 25 units are up for grabs here in the Philippines. I am not a lucky person, so I am most definitely expecting not to get one. In that case, will there be any more color variants for the Phone2aPlus in the future? Black and silver-grey look meh for me. I like the white and the CE.
Mine got delivered in a 16 hours after ordering. My Wife received from the Delivery Agent. She was saying the colour and hardware design is Retro and cozy to the eyes. Special thanks to the Winners @Astrid , @Kenta , @Andres_123 , @Ian_H_Simmonds & @Palmix Art. Congratulation to @Carl & @Akis for bringing this to the public.
CMF1_hacker welcome to the hype party 
Hello, I would like to ask if the Phone (2a) Plus Community Edition comes with the latest version? What is the difference in software between the Phone (2a) Plus and the Community Edition? How many updates will there be, and when can we expect Nothing OS 3.0? Please provide a bit more information about it.
G_Stamatov - Hey, the Community Edition ships with Nothing OS 2.6, out of the box. In terms of software, it is no different to the standard (2a) Plus, they run the same OS.
However, with regards to how many updates, it is the usual 3 Years of Software Updates and 4 Years of Security Updates, as per all Nothing SmartPhones.
NothingOS 3.0 for Phone (2a) Plus is due for Beta in December and general release is TBC.
G_Stamatov The “brain” of the hardware is the same so you sohuld be able to download the current 3.0 (Android 15) beta as you would with the standrd 2(a) or 2(a) plus - I am running it on my 2a and it’s close to being fully stable and not buggy. Just my take….I could be wrong / often am!
Wanna grab the community edition phone, kindly suggest where to purchase.. very much interested to pick this phone up….
Tomorrow it arrives, I’ll take a closer look and write a review.
BillyTheBug woah. dat price.
