I'm in too. The single-device lifestyle is something I would like
to try out.<br>

Update: They are now offering phones at sub $830 in order to gauge
pricing/keep funding momentum up. There were phones at $625 (sold
out) and now at $675, $725, $775 and $830.<br>

The specs are definitely top-end: fast multi-core CPU,
4GB RAM, 128GB<br>
flash, "only" 720p sapphire screen.<br>
<br>
One can snag one in the next 24 hours for
$600(USD?)+shipping - after<br>
that, $830 per phone. Expect delivery next May.
Notably, it comes with a<br>
28 day money-back guarantee.<br>
