Essential Order and Shipping Thread

Just showed up..

Mine shows that it departed Indianapolis at 8 am. My delivery date was 9-6 and last night changed to pending and now it's back to 9-6. I'm hoping it goes straight to L.A. instead of Memphis and I get it Saturday. I don't see any reason for it to be delayed until Wednesday at this point.

I sincerely doubt they included Saturday delivery for the shipping. My guess is Tuesday now.
 
Man I love this phone, camera is a non issue, my photos look good. There are already people in XDA saying with different APKs this camera will be great.
 
I received my phone today. It is waiting for me when I get off work. Now what to do with the s8 I'm using
 
It arrived this morning shockingly. All in all seems pretty nice, though all I've really done is install all my apps and junk. Still, feels quite nice to hold.
 
Ordered Aug 16th, still no shipping info, and I just got a refund notification for the camera (the only thing I've been billed for). I never requested a refund.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I was fully charged for the camera but the phone auth dropped off after 3 days. My exception is the charge for the camera is still in place.

Also, I have asked for my order to be cancelled but haven't heard a thing over 5 emails in two weeks.
 
Just got email from essential that my 360 camera shipped as well. Expected delivery date of September 7th.
 
Stopped by the house real quick, and wow really love the hardware. Feels great. Not much time, have to run back out, but check out this picture of it next to my 4.7” iPhone 7.

Also, for those wondering, hd calling on AT&T works, doesn’t look like WiFi calling does, but didn’t have much time to check.

Ah, I hadn't seen that. Well, that's much more appropriate than Lifelock...
Just weird how they haven't contacted me at all, and all I got was the refund notice.
Do you think they'll ever ship the phone??

Just got tracking info for the phone. Actually left origin facility.
 
Got the phone this morning...first impressions are great. This has stellar build quality and feels great in the hand. Side loaded Google's camera apk and I don't have many complaints with the few photos I've taken.

Anyone who's gotten it had an issue with cellular data on AT&T? Can make and receive calls, send and receive texts but cell data either says offline or is unbelievably slow. Spent an hour on the phone with AT&T support and was told the device isn't formally recognized yet on their network. Anyone else run into anything similar?

Essential claims to have certified it on AT&T network but the rep I spoke to said it wasn't in their system.

Essential = absolute disaster. Thank God they sent email saying they were able to cancel my order. Praying they actually refund my $699 soon. Good riddance

if it doesn't get sorted quick back it goes (which I assume will be a nightmare). Frustrating as all get out...

Mines on at&t and working fine. Took the Sim out of my iPhone and placed in my essential phone. Did you set up first on WiFi and then insert Sim? You might have to do it at initial setup, I know when I did it downloaded something called carrier settings.
