Yes sir, fail on my part....figured would be same as 6p sim but it's isim so no network evaluation yet.   Phone build is awesome and feels solid in the hand. Included accessories are too notch.

Judged by the level of interest in its 10 post thread, this phone is non essential.   AJ

A few photos but nothing special. Using it on WiFi and all apps restored from my g6 with no issues.

 

Decent battery so far with restoring apps and changing my settings so far.

 

More to come....

I want to try this phone but if I'm gonna go caseless.... I want the matte finish stellar gray, hopefully the company will have that choice available for me. Samsung has disappointed me in color choices

Finger prints are a minor issue but many wraps if you want one...some very nice ones!

 

 

So far, the PH1 has a better radio for me compared to my g6.

 

Hands onto LTE much longer and send faster....no speed test yet.

My Nexus 6p uses the CSIM, whats the ISIM?

A new sim card....lol

 

I tried my 6p and it was a failure, contacted our fearless Lilo & Stich moderator and hooked me up with the correct isim numbers bc most Sprint reps have no clue....

I was considering it...until Google agreed to replace my Nexus 6P for a Pixel XL.  Now I will wait until next year to replace my phone.

I'm going to get one, but I was waiting for a display model to play with it first...went to a store last week and the clerk had no idea what an Essential phone was. Funny thing about that though, there was a picture of it on the store's wall - and I turned around and pointed to it. :lol: He said "Oh, yeah that hasn't come in yet"

I heard about the replacements, no cost swap for the XL?

Feels so nice in the hand, very nice phone but overpriced. I'm happy to get off my g6 though...Paying off my g6 easy pay and selling it ASAP.

No cost.  They did authorize my card for $900+, but said they will only charge if they don't get back the 6P within 21 days.

I have a note 5 and played with the essential phone in the store the other day and like the looks of it.  Just gun shy from reading the Reddit essential sub with all the issues.  I looked over the AMA from yesterday with Andy and it seems like they are working hard to fix several of the issues so with that said, what's the signal performance like with this thing?

I haven't done any scientific tests but I'm having no problem getting band 41 or LTE in general.

 

On a side note. This is the first phone I had from Sprint that can handoff between WiFi calling and LTE calling.

I played with one in the store a week or so ago. It felt very nice in hand, and it seemed very fast. I haven't been following the news on the phone to look for issues and real user feedback. I'll try to find the Reddit thread when I have a few minutes.

The biggest issue I'm having is with the camera app sometimes force closing.

 

The OS is running pretty good for me. I did have a random reboot when leaving my house using Android Auto. Other than that the phone has run smoothly.

 

The hardware feels so good in the hand and it feels more durable than the new Samsung. I don't know if it is though.

Enjoying my PH1, just need to keep fixing stuff with each update and camera update.

 

Solid build just some bugs in the phones software.

When phone is in do not disturb mode, have options set for calls and texts from starred contacts, not receiving and texts or calls from anyone.

Alarms works of course but not texts or calls.

Can anyone else test?

It works on mines. I receive calls and sms from my starred contacts.

      I really apreciate no longer seeing n38 for T-Mobile. My s24 Ultra is reporting that Signalcheck Pro is crashing frequently.  It has the latest updates. I do occassional change sims and band preferences. Let me know if you need anything else.   Thanks.

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Spent a lot of time in Westchester this weekend, specifically Yonkers and White Plains. I mapped three AT&T Nokia -> Ericsson conversions. I was super impressed with T-Mobile's macro density and not so much with AT&T's. In Yonkers it seems like T-Mobile macros outnumber AT&T macros 3 to 1 and in White Plains, 2 to 1. Another surprise was the lack of small cells on AT&T in both cities. While Cellmapper shows White Plains having no small cells, I did manage to find one in the Church Street neighborhood. While it's only one, it's an indication to me that T-Mobile intends on expanding n41 density with small cells in the city. On the other hand, in Yonkers T-Mobile has a ton of LTE small cells but none of them have been upgraded to 5G yet as far as I can tell. Crown Castle has been moving super fast in NYC and Long Island to upgrade and install new 5G small cells so I can only assume it's either a permitting or backhaul issue that's stopping them from moving full steam ahead there. — — — — — Came across this cool site in Yonkers with Verizon, T-Mobile, and Dish present.

      Other two sectors finally installed. Hopefully it goes live soon though I know from past experience that these new builds can take weeks and in some cases months to go live.
