What a difference a day makes!!
I just wanted to thank you guys and girls for participating in some great discussion the past few months, especially those (you know who you are) that posted countless links/rumors/articles/etc.
We had our differences which is what these boards are about, but in general we kept it friendly and civil.
Most importantly, I think we finally got the phone we were looking for. It didn't meet everybody's criteria obviously, but it definitely came close.
If aesthetics were your thing, we got an original design that wasn't that ugly phone we thought it was. Sounds like a great camera, and although it might not turn out to be as good as the G4/S6, and lacks OIS, it's still a significant upgrade.
Great battery life, quick charge, front speakers. And not to mention the real star of the show, Android M, which is hopefully everything LP wasn't.
It's obvious most of the complaints are coming from people that never intended on getting it in the first place. Of course there are those that'll pass for one reason or another, and if you have a newer device, it might not be a big enough upgrade.
But for those of us that have been wishing camera and battery finally joined stock, with the build quality and price to match, this thing definitely delivered.
Personally it exceeded my expectations by a mile, and I'm looking forward to the reviews and next few months to really dig into the new OS!!
