Is this only a T-Mobile thing?

No, at least not in the US. It appeared that I was a finalist as I got updated emails asking for additional information, but never got picked for the review in the end. I'm on AT&T if you forgot.

At least I'm still going to the ASUS zenfone 2 unveiling on Monday with the AC community. I'm stoked to meet everyone from here. The phone I'm sure we'll be nice and I'll shoot a few videos to show it off to everyone here. But I'm ultra happy to finally say hi in person to many of the members of the community.

re; the post above with the sweaty hands on leather: That is not so, unless you are a sweaty mess. My son has a leather back motoX and his hands are anything but clean, yet the back has held up better than a case would have. Don't see it as an issue any more than a wallat or watch etc.

Yep! Plus this is high quality leather.

is wifi calling working? I'm interested in knowing how far along the T-Mobile rom is.

I'll let you know once I get it. I hope it's working because I'll be overseas next week...

I hear you. That's one of my favorite features from T-Mobile. Free wi-fi calls from outside of the US to the US for free...using my own cell number.

I'll try and post my thoughts and impressions as well as answer your questions...

Congrats to you! But boo, because that means I didn't get picked.

Is Quick Charge 2.0 working yet? I'm curious to see if it will work out of box or if there will be a software update incoming to enable it.

I'm not sure. The included charger isn't quick charge and I don't have one to test it. I did get an update once I got it setup, no change log.

The leather is so damn sharp,I don't get anyone dogging it. Have you used a g3? Curious if it feels different in hand.

I'm coming from a G3, the feel is similar but the leather back feels really nice. The G4 is slightly larger and you notice it coming from a G3 but it's subtle and doesn't bother me.

I hate leather phones. I don't get why people love it so much. I'd rather take metal or plastic.

That's why choice is such a great thing. "Together, not the same"

I'm not a huge fan myself, although I'd be willing to give it a shot given the positive feedback from people so far. I'm hoping for a 3rd party backplate that feels like the Nexus 5 - providing a good grip while being resistant to scratches.

Which leather phone did you have?
