The Essential Phone - Yay or Nay?

If it were to happen today I think they are on the west coast so maybe this afternoon or some other day.

In my dream last night I checked Best Buy’s website and it said available tomorrow ships today. Here’s to hoping my dream comes true!

Yes that would be nice as I'm tired of being constantly attached to a battery pack with my current phone.
 
Everytime my phone vibrates to let me know I have an email I get excited and alas no phone update.
 
If nothing happens today (Tues) or tomorrow (Weds), it's probably going to be next week. I don't see Thursday or Friday being the day since they're including free 2-day shipping. Shipping on a Thurs or Fri would put delivery 4 days out and make some people angry despite the math.

Hopefully soon.
 
2 day shipping is business days as I think you're eluding to and it's been my experience that shipping is at the shippers convenience not the receiver's. So realistically it could ship on any business day.

That's why I said "despite the math." Many people think "2 days" is two days regardless of weekends. If Essential opens sales up on a Thursday and people use the free 2-day option and it's not through USPS or FedEx Home, they'll foolishly think their devices will arrive on Saturday.

My question is that if they have 30,000 followers on Twitter and everyone buys a phone on launch day, how the heck are they going to fill all of those orders? The logistics will be interesting.

l wish it was today....but losing hope
LOL... it's probably not today.
 
Well good things come to those that wait, or so I've heard. Good luck guys!
 
It's the same 4 to 5 people posting here each day, with no news coming. Kinda funny. ;)
 
Kinda where I'm at. I'm losing more and more interest by the day.
Leaning towards keeping my S8 or even trying out the Z2 Force for the sheer fact of stock Android and the mods are pretty cool as well like the idea of attaching a 2200mah battery that's 4.9mm giving me 4900mah for under 10mm not too bad!

I've had my pixel now for a year and while there's nothing the matter with it my main hope was that I would be able to flip it before the value goes down when the pixel 2 comes out.

I went from the oneplus 5 to htc u 11, then back to the oneplus 5, then back to the htc u11 and now going back to the oneplus 5. So many returns, now that you mention the force 2 that interests me.

Is there a support group for us on phone addictions? :)

Yeah the Essential would be my 75th smartphone in 10 years starting with the Samsung Instinct
 
it's hard only been 19 days ago when Andy Rubin said it would be a few weeks before the phone was in customers hands. "your hands".

So I have waited this long what is a few more days or weeks. I have set aside the money and maybe something else will come along that takes its place. If it's the Pixel I need to save more $$$...What phone would you buy?
