Thoughts on Essential phone?

I was curious until Sprint happened. I’m definitely not paying full price for an unlocked version.

It is headed for Sprint...

Interesting choice, lol. I'll pass.

True point about this.

I may consider if they can update monthly security patch and OS update fast as google phone but I doubt it.

The proprietary technology is the only thing different about this phone.

Sprint exclusive pushed me even further away. I already had one foot out the door, but now its slamming behind me.

...and now it is running behind. Reportedly has not shipped yet when stating 30 days they would after the pre-orders...

Price on the phone has dropped to $500, and the extended warranty (2 years) from $199 to $99. I'm debating getting one now. Stock Android, like the design, sounds like many of the camera issues have been addressed through the updates.

And I think its down to $450 at BestBuy in the US. if it had started @ 450 and dropped to 350 I'd own one now, that is about the most I will spend on a phone.
