Congratulations contest winners!!

I'm sure we'll get something more generic like Black.

Yeah, you're probably right, or they might give us red so it's flashy and more people ask us about our phones! ;) I think it'd be good advertising...

5.1 would make a lot of sense and would probably fix some the battery issues reported by a few folks.

That's what I'm figuring too. The more fixes the better! I'm getting antsy, but I'm learning to appreciate my fire phone for what it is, so I need it less now than I did when this device was totally foreign to me.
 
I the mean time what are you guys gonna do to your old phones once you get the zenfone

Basically Google is in the process of approving a product image and that's the reason for the hold up

Ahh, yeah. I remember that from the email that AC sent out. I guess I didn't think that's what it meant.
 
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm chomping at the bit to get this thing. Hopefully they ship this week.
 
They said they were hoping to get them out by the end of the month. I'm ready to get my google play services back. This Fire Phone is a little less than awesome.
 
I hope they release the ZF2 here in the States with 5.1 and a memory leak fix.

I've been reading a lot of threads on the net about battery life (not just here on AC).
 
The fire phone is awesome if your down with amazon ecosystem

Eh, it's about a quarter of an ecosystem, which is too bad. Everything works and it's a solid device, but Amazon doesn't have the same, complete offerings that Google, Microsoft, and Apple offer at this point, which is why I'm stoked to get back!

My screen protectors came last week and my case is scheduled for a May 6th delivery. I'm pretty sure my case will be here first as well. You're not alone. :)
 
From someone from the event don't know if this affects us winners but it may provide some insight as to when we may get them however phones have been given out with preproduction software to review so take this with a grain of salt .....I feel like a detective lol

This has been quite a very interesting year in the Android world as far as the devices go, especially the very competitive mid-ranger market. We have the Zenfone 2 which was announced at CES in January and yet Asus took (or had to take) this incremental global release step all the way into the beginning of Q3.

The irony comes in where the more popular smartphone brands such as Samsung and HTC released their flagships globally more efficiently, but so far it's not really any better since they have more major shortcomings than the Zenfone 2. So the "Zen" element comes in strongly here, haha.:p

In the case of the (ever overrated) Galaxy S6/Edge, many owners have had to exchange that device at least 3 times for faults, both minor and major. Most current Zenfone 2 owners haven't needed to do that other than getting a more LTE-compatibile model. Yes, there have been a few cases of serious faults and the popular bugs, but that's to be expected all across the board for first releases.

Generally though, from the testimonies of the owners, it's a very stable and well made device. And for only a fraction of the common flagship price, there's just not really much to complain about.:) These were just my observations and thoughts for those who cared to read them.
