    Earpiece cover came off today

    I started an exchange process on 9/13 with Emily that never happened. After emailing three times and then posting on Twitter, I got contacted by Asurian. They still have not sent me a replacement. They told me it may take 7-10 days to send the unit out. No guarantee that it is not a...

    Received the Essential Phone ask your questions

    I am really on the fence on this one. I too have had a few problems with mine that have been really aggravating. Not having any touch screen capabilities when an alarm is going off first thing in the morning was no good... Now I have a claim going with Asurian and hope the new unit will be...

    What problems are you experiencing with the Essential Phone

    Well I knew this might be too good to be true. I emailed back to Emily at Essential twice to see what the status was from Asurian and got no answer. So I then tweeted Essential since they seemed to be replying to problems. Next thing I get a tweet from Asurian to DM them and let them help. As...

    So I reported this thru the support email portal and got an email back that they would be sending me an exchange unit within five to seven days from their partner Asurian. I am surprised by this for sure.

    What problems are you experiencing with the Essential Phone

    For the second morning in a row I cannot turn off the alarm. It will not respond at all to my touch. I have to turn off the phone to silence. Can’t even turn volume down

    BlackBerry KEYone in Space Black comes exclusively to AT&T in the U.S.

    I got mine this week and was surprised at the lack of att bloat. Only four extra apps including the main att app for bills/statements, etc.

    Received the Essential Phone ask your questions

    I really haven't found much to complain about. I would like to see more apps use all of the screen. There is no perfect phone and not everyone will like the Essential phone. Different strokes... I agree with others that software updates are needed for the camera. I haven't been able to test...
