Im actually surprised that the verge is stating they got over 7 hours SOT with a 3040mah battery. That's impressive. Considering it has a 5.7 QHD display, that's a feat by todays standards.

Nice phone but did you see the LTE download speed he gets.
I might push an old woman down a flight of stairs for that speed. Just joking.

LOL... yeah, he was shocked for sure. Overall it sounded like a good first take. Next week can't come sooner.

I read a marketing report somewhere a while ago (yeah, that one). It said tech companies are better off going to market knowing that the product has bugs than waiting for the patches. It's an opportunity cost kind of thing. The sooner you get to market the better you do. And, yes, people still buy the product even knowing there are flaws.

Oh Jeepers, I made a rash decision and pulled the trigger! I paid for my Pre-Order. 
I might regret this since I wanted Ocean Depths, but I have a feeling it won't be ready until after I leave for my 9 month jaunt overseas and I really want to ditch my oversized iPhone 6S Plus.
I ended up returning the S8 because of how much I hated texting with those curved screens. So fingers crossed this will be my first actual Android Phone.

That's weird. The PCMag review cut the phone up regarding call quality and network speed. They're saying it's missing some of the latest LTE features and they only averaged download speeds of 10Mbps vs. 21Mbps for the LG G6. I don't quite get how it can be missing only certain LTE stuff as I understood all that to be baked into the SD835?

My 4-year-old BlackBerry Q10 gets over 40 Mbps over LTE. It's the network, not the phone. Call quality can also be the network, tower distance, congestion, weather, and many other factors. The PH-1 has literally every LTE/CDMA band used in the US, plus NFC and BT5. WiFi Calling is baked into Android. So, PCMag claiming it's missing features means they're uninformed, doing something incorrect, or both. Probably both. Call quality might be something but it's too soon to say if it's an issue or PCMag is doing something wrong (or even biased because it's not their favorite brand).
This is what I dislike about reviews. It relies on a handful of people who may or may not have a technical background, or at least enough of a technical background to intelligently discuss specifications and issues. Some issues are user error. There's no place for reviewers inducing user error.
Yeah, but Dave Lee says average to slightly below average and that makes way more sense.

Battery life is relative to handset, usage, and age. My new Nexus 6P was awesome! Within 18 months I couldn't carry the phone without also having a portable battery in tow. I returned for extended warranty replacement. The refurbed unit is much better but not the same. If battery life is an issue, go back to removable batteries. Otherwise this is the new normal. Add a lack of headphone jack for good measure . . .
