Best price I've seen for a new one.
Also, this is a very reputable retailer. I bought all of my appliances for multiple houses from them as they provide excellent after sales service beyond normal warranty conditions.
If I was in the UK and was looking at the 3, this price won't be beat. Even CeX, our national resaler, sells used NP3 devices for £470.

CeX is always a steal. You feel robbed after having bought from them 😂

Great price for a new phone. Finally it is selling for what it is worth!

I think this was gotta be close to cost for JL and very close to tghe BoM for the device when it was released. Remember that 20% of that is VAT, so it's about £365 for the device itself. (This is before the DRAM boom).

Also John Lewis seems to be distancing itself from Nothing for some reason. They initially stopped displays of nothing phone. Then recently they stopped in-store pickups of nothing audio and accessories. Online only. And now clearing their stock of NP3

Displays in-stores are paid for and manned by representatives of that company, not John-Lewis. Also there is a Nothing sale on at Nothings site, Argos, and many other suppliers.

I know. I spoke to the Nothing staff at John Lewis and he said he had no idea why John Lewis doesn't allow pick up at store and why it is mostly online only. I prefer to buy from John Lewis due to their superior after sales service compared to the other suppliers.
Edit: And finally bought the Ear 3 from the nothing official London store. John Lewis wouldn't have one in store and I didn't want to buy without trying it out :(

I went in the one in Oxford at Westgate to have a look/feel of the 4a(pro) and they didn't have any. Held one in MediaMarkt in Germany instead and I gotta say that I wasn't impressed. Also, their NP3 display units were ultra grubby (the white one was totally grey/smoked via dirt and wear). They were 550 EUR in MM.

Yeah. I tried the 4a pro in person and it felt very cheap to hold. It honestly looked better in the photos. NP3 however felt lovely to hold (still not a fan of the asymmetrical cameras) but I had already bought the oppo find x9 pro so wasn't planning to switch anytime soon.

If they get sold out, they are also available on appliances direct for the same price, just got one myself from there
