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.
I want community edition, It will be great, get chance to use it.
Awesome design, Nothing team are great as always.
If this isn’t available to U.S.-based customers, how can we consider ourselves part of the community? It feels like we’re being excluded.
Received mine yesterday (Friday) here in the land down under (Australia), that’s pretty quick I must say! 
Loving the aesthetic & experience so far (I had a Phone (2a) previously). 
Time will tell if I keep it as my daily driver as I love my Pixel devices (previous device Pixel 9 Pro Fold, hey I love tech!). 
(case: Spigen Ultra Hyrbid Space Crystal)
Nice work Nothing & Community members for coming up with something even more unqiue/special. 
Cheers FJ. 
I just listened to Carl Pei on youtube speak about the nothing phone. Genuinely impressed.
Can we expect this in France as well? Do you have the window for a few more participants?
I lost to scalpers today. A few hours after the so called sale here in PH, one of the scalpers contacted me if I wanted a unit. He was expecting a bidding frenzy. I let the opportunity to own the community edition go. I love the concept of the company and the design of the product, but in this situation where opportunists win, I’m out.
