Congratulations contest winners!!

Congratulations to all the Zenfone 2 contest winners. I loved all your videos. I especially got a laugh out of the "icrap" phone, lol.

I was one of the lucky 15 selected for the phone a couple of weeks ago. Now just waiting for its arrival. I have my TMobile sim card just waiting to activate. I am a Verizon customer and the phone will not work with Verizon. This gives me a chance also to explore a new mobile network.

Congrats! I won one as well. I wonder if Asus got a chance to send them out yet.

Anyone have an update?

 

[skatergirl]

I am wondering that same thing myself!

 

[Josh Exmoor]

Congrats to you both. I won one as well and am also eagerly awaiting news on its arrival. I think this contest was an excellent idea by Asus. Handing the phone over to 30 power users shows that they probably have a lot of confidence in it. Seems like a good way to get 30 spokespeople for their product in a hurry.

Thanks, Josh. Same to you. We should start the #zenclub.

congrats everyone i was on of the 15 no update so far but i did tweet asus about the release date of the phone they said "very soon"

Congrats to the winners. Skategirl I asked about the (15) of us who were chosen at the start, they are supposed to be shipping out next week.

 

[kissdafloor]

are they giving all 30 at the same time or in waves?

 

[Josh Exmoor]

I believe they're shipping them all out at once. They picked 15 quality contributors and then the other 15 were picked from video submissions.

Awesome. Can't wait.

 

[Raptor007]

Me too, I do believe ASUS is sending them all at once, they were shooting for this past week for the first 15, but I think it made sense to ship all at once.

 

[kissdafloor]

Hopefully this is the case when they ship (hopefully monday) I shall be watching the door constantly lol

If I remember hearing correctly the 30 winners of the ASUS Zenfone 2 will be receiving shipping notifications so we can track the progress of them. So keep an eye on that to hit our email boxes

I don't know about you guys but I'm gonna order a case ahead of time i'm not clumsy with phones but seeing as this will be my first flagship cant be to careful

 

[Josh Exmoor]

I ordered my case and screen protectors last night. I bought a case and non-glass screen protectors off Amazon last night (Can't link yet). I'll probably upgrade to a better case and a glass screen protector later, but I figured I'd keep it cheap for the moment while I wait for a better selection to come out. eBay has a slightly better selection, but I have Prime and I wanted them when my phone got here.

Great idea to wait and upgrade after more items show up to purchase. I already have the case and glass protector. Fortunately they were quite inexpensive. I also have my TMobile pre paid sim card. Now just waiting for the phone.

I hope we can receive the device either on or before the US release date. That would be awesome.

Edit: Just got an email from AC saying that it should be sent either next week or the week after. Yay!

 

[kissdafloor]

just got the update too at least we have a time frame now so its all good ..........i wonder if the view case will be available on launch day

 

[Josh Exmoor]

I really hope they can send it out early next week. I am headed on a trip at the end of next week and having a ZF2 would have be a great test of its capabilities.

Hey Guys, I am fortunate enough to be one of the winners of the Zenfone 2 as well. I am eagerly anticipating the phone and looking around for cases, I'm curious what cases for the phone are you guys going for, are you a fan of flip cases or other types. Anyway, I'm very excited to start reviewing it. Congrats guys.
