Did the give you a tracking number? Any eta on when to expect the phone?

 

[grooks]

No tracking number. Said it will ship within 7 days. Credit card has been charged. Listed free 2-3 day air shipping so I'm assuming it comes from overseas.

I got my email but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. There are a few things holding me back, and none of them have to do with what is coming down the pipe. 1) I would like to see the phone in action, even if it's just on video; 2) I'd like to see a little review, doesn't have to be in-depth at all, but I'd like to know a little about what I'm getting into; and 3) I have seen a grand total of ZERO cases or any accessories for it, and I hate using a phone without anything. Otherwise, I'm still in, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger.

Took the words out of my mouth Andrew!

Same plan here. If the gloss black ceramic proves to be an issue, a skin should fix it pretty quick. Hopefully the bare ceramic isn't that bad though.

Is Unbox under embargo? Surprised this wasn't his next video.

Quoting myself here but I'm guessing this must be the case. New videos came out yesterday and today but nothing on the PH-1. Maybe we'll see something on Friday since that's the rumored Sprint release.

I ordered first thing this morning and look forward to the surprise. I trust myself as a reviewer far more than anyone else.

Yes it's hard to pull the trigger with zero reviews.

I REALLY want this phone. I think it looks so friggin cool. And it has the software I want and like. But I would just like to see it a little bit in action. And I need a skin, screen protector and a small TPU case.

The ceramic should be to much of an issue. I had the mi mix and it was excellent. Only issue was it was slippery as heck. Set it down and it slid all around.

Good to know the ceramic wasn't an issue on the Mix. I assume it didn't smudge too bad?

Slippery on a table is at least better than slippery in the hand. My first choice was the matte grey but I think it might be hard to hold onto. I have a tablet in matte black and it's like a wet a bar of soap. The gloss screen has far more grip than the matte back.

 

[anon(1733)]

Not to bad. No. Felt great in hand.

I messed around with some Ceramic phones in China and they are VERY nasty greasy. Reeeaaaally bad with fingerprints. Once wiped off they look gorgeous. Incredibly premium in feel. I am betting the matte gray will be ridiculously amazing, but we only have black for now. Lord knows when the green will be ready.

If the black turns out to be a mess then I'll either skin it or return it for the matte grey. But, if it's grippy and easy to wipe off then it might not be too bad.

@msp1518 Hopefully you get your ocean depths soon. That color is awesome. I like black phones but that one is growing on me. Seeing it in person would help.

I had the Mi Mix for a while and I worry about this phone for the same reasons. The mix was a super greasy fingerprint magnet with the glossy black ceramic. To make matters worse there were very few cases available for it. This phone has like no cases available and the same ceramic.

I'm trying to hold out for a matte version but I fear the pixel 2 or v30 or mate 10 or mi mix 2 or something else might take my attention before the matte version comes.

Leave it to a Phi Psi to come through in the clutch!!

Now I just need a decent TPU case.

Deliveries happen next week, skins are available and Sprint is leasing the phone dirt cheap. The Internet might break tomorrow since there won't be anything left to complain about!

No headphone jack . . . ?
