REMINDER This Wednesday is last day to apply for F+F discount. - Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion

If you per-ordered for full price, you can get a discount on another... to own/sell whatever. But only 36 hours left to claim it.
https://www.essential.com/pages/friends-and-family-offer

I bought the phone & 360 camera on Amazon and finally obtained the code.
Does the code is only used for buying product on Essential web site?
If so, then I cannot buy it again since I am in overseas...

Can you give me your code if you don't use it?

I'm looking for a code also if you have a spare.

If anyone can donate a code I would greatly appreciate it.

My understanding is it needs to be on the website for full price. But it does not hurt to submit a claim
I am still waiting to get my code,.. it is not fast turn over

If anyone would be willing to share one of these codes with me it would be much appreciated. I'd love to make the jump over, but don't have the funds to drop $500 right now.

Do you got your discount code? I just hope they can release another color phone before my code is outdated.

They are VERY slow releasing code. Probably will be December or longer before most people get theirs

I waited a week then I inqueried them with fb because I don't know the status . They told me I cannot get a coupon since mine was bought with the dropped price. That is because the phone arrives after one month and activate it too late. I shown my ordered receipt then finally received the code.
Hope release ocean color ASAP ...

I submitted on the 15th. Haven't got anything. :-/ How long do i have to wait?

Edit: Nevermind, I misread the subject of this thread.
My F+F code says that it is good until 12/15. Is anyone else seeing that?

UK price - Online for £359.88...

..delivered next day, seems a good price or a mistake as it appears to be £110 cheaper than anywhere else, or are prices on the way down.

err link? website etc
Sorry, yes, edited original post.
BUMP!!!
...and, Doh!!! I paid £480 for mine about 7 weeks ago. Sigh. I wonder if people have stopped buying them because of some of the possible issues!
just found it on hotdeals! posted by..... you nice
why soo cold tho??? full of knobs!
You got to love and hate hotdeals.
It is without doubt a bargain, if you want one and can afford it, I believe that people on that site just vote cold on anything they dont want or cant afford or dont understand, shame really.

Thanks for that - i've been waiting for play.com to have a 10% discount which would have only bought the price down to £432(approx).
This is a great price - i only hope they don't say its a mistake as it looks like one (its cheaper than the Diamond which is £363.39).
It Should arrive on Thursday - just ordered it now.

I've decided to give a WM phone a go again and ordered myself.
To start with I'll just use it with a data sim, to see what its like, as you can't knock a blackberry for staying in touch with IM etc, but Im just so bored of the crap browser experience and lack of software like Live Mesh, which I use one hell of a lot to keep things synced.
I'll use both for a few weeks and see how it goes.
Looks like they have discovered it - gone back up to £466.89 without postage.
Good thing i bought mine
LOL! I don't feel so sick now ; )
spark9990, when your new pro arrives, please could you take a look at what version ROM it ships with now? (start/settings, system tab, device information - though I'm sure you'll know that already). Congratulations on getting such a great price!!!

Yes and mines on tracking so give them credit for keeping the price for those that bought.
I've used them many times actually and they always have been good.

They've cancelled my order - twats. Can they do that?
Mine as well, mine was at the delivery depot.
Not even a offer of a good will gesture, I'm going to check out if they can do that, especially I can prove it was out for delivery.

Let me know what you find - I'm trying to find out if they can do that as well.
Had they sent emails to you both confirming dispatch? If so then then I guess they had entered into a contract with you... talk to Trading Standards for a firm answer....

I don't have proof of that - but i do have a receipt, and they did take money out of my account.
Then without my permission carried out a refund transaction. I trying to find out how to contact trading standards but in the mean time i am going to try to reason with sellers.
In a retail store, if a product is tagged as a cheaper price by mistake, then the retailer has to give it at that price.
If Handtec had debited your back account/credit card account, then they had entered into a contract with you to supply that item at that price. Speak to both Trading Standards and Handtec about it and make sure you can demonstrate that they had taken your dosh. All you did is select a product on Handtec's website in good faith and, for their part, it would appear that they too entered into that contract to suppply it, so I suggest they honour it!
EDIT: http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk, and they should have an entry in your local phone book. Kent is 0845 7585497 (just in case - good luck!)

Thats not true. Most big stores (such as Tesco) will sell you at the quoted price for the good will. By Law they infact have something like 24 hours to correct the price once notified by a customer, during which time they can sell at a different price than is quoted.
That is really bad!
I thought maybe it had something to do with stock levels, but if it got to the depot, you think they would have realised!
Hope you get a response from them or Trading Standards

360 Camera for $50, even if you ordered via Sprint

Looks like a little work around someone shared on Reddit to get the 360 camera for $50 works for Sprint pre-orders.
https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/6vvg6c/regret_not_buying_the_360_camera/
Buy the camera and phone from Essential.com (link and steps in the Reddit link), reserve the 360 camera for $50 at checkout, stop there. Just don't buy the phone if you don't want a 2nd one.
I pre-ordered via Sprint for the 50% off lease for 18 months. I also followed these steps to reserve the camera. I got an email about my reservation for $50. I didn't get to put in any purchase info at that point yet. Instead, a follow-up email to complete my order came. Upon checkout, I am in fact purchasing the 360 camera for $50.
I did this as well. Order processed. Fingers crossed they dont cancel. I spoke to their support about this. They goofed my reservation and the camera wasnt showing. I got impatient and went the Sprint route and they emailed me last night to reserve the camera and they would send me the checkout info. I told them i ordered the phone already and they said no problem. So it looks like it processed properly
Thanks for this. Seemed to work as I had already reserved a camera earlier. I was disappointed that I wouldn't get to try this camera out as I wouldn't pay 200 for out.
I was able to buy the 360 Camera for 50$ from Essential website although I placed my order for the phone through Amazon
I did the same. Reserved camera, backed out of cart, email came in, then I purchased it.
Dang, it's $179 now :/

Yeah I ordered mine last night and it was 179! Surprisingly the email I got from them said it's still $50, so I contacted them hoping I could get it for 50 since that's what the email says, but I haven't heard back from them, but from what I'm seeing on Twitter... They don't get back to u that quickly or often.... ?
Missed this... damn it.
Has anyone that ordered this without the phone receive a shipping notification yet?
not yet.

I ended up sending them a long rant about their delays and that i ended up getting the phone from Sprint to avoid delays. Long story short, gave them my Sprint Info and IMEI/SN and said the experience has been terrible and hope the honor the price even though i ended up buying through a more reliable outlet:

essential cutting the price of the ph1 by $200

What's the chance for us early adopter to get a refund? Or are we Sol?
The facebook post says early adopters get a 200 dlls coupon. That could bring the cost of the phone to 300!
They better release the dock before then. =/
Pretty miffed about this.

Link is in their blog post. https://www.essential.com/pages/friends-and-family-offer
While it's nice for them to offer this to us early adopters, it really doesn't benfit us unless they release the dock or other accessories by Dec 15th.
Well, my wife is really enjoying her phone... May pick up a white one for 299 with the code...I think that it's a great value at that price...
Oh, great idea, the white one is a nice idea... lol
Still waiting on them to release the gray and green version. Already have the phone so I am waiting for the dock and or smart home hub. It's nice that they at least gave us early adopters a bone. But without new accessories it really is a waste for us. They have dropped the ball before, so hoping they don't do it again. :/ They have allot of potential I just hope they get there. Also hopefully the lower price leads to more developers jumping in on the device and helping to get the developer section in this community going.
Oh, to have one of those codes. Id then go out on a limb and buy one of these great looking phones.
So tempted, but just not enough at $500.
bought off ebay
I literally bought and paid for a phone off ebay saturday night. the seller shipped it and said he would not work on price.
I want to be able to get a coupon but i'm afraid that "someone" will have already claimed it or essential will not honor it.... If anyone is in same situation, please let me know if you were able to get the coupon.
Thanks!

I did not. the seller had the phone until this morning. i asked for the IMEI and he said i would get it when it comes in the mail. so basically can't make the request until i get the imei. i have sneaky suspicion that he may have claimed.... he knew all about the promotion when i sent him a message.
I am just going to get another phone.
I don't think I'm going to bother with the charging pad if they release it in time seeing I keep the phone in a case anyway.
Sent out the info for my credit to Essential, and called Best Buy this morning and got them to price match the new price since I was within my return window (the credit has already shown up on my card).
So I got $200 back from Best Buy and will get $200 credit from Essential. Sweet.

How did you get them to do that? I haven't bought one, but if I can get them to knock another $200 off the 499, that'd be dope!
So I filled out the form, is there suppose to be an email confirmation?

Did you ever sign up for beta builds on the essential website? If so, did you check "send me offers and promotions" when you submitted your email? I'm assuming this is how you get on the mailing list. (I may be wrong)

I'm not sure. I have been on the beta builds as soon as they launched, and was getting OTA updates as well.
Amazon sells it $100 cheaper every day. Maybe there will be a better price from Amazon or BestBuy for a short of time. Stay tuned.
I received my $100 off code after signing up. It's only valid until June 7th though.

I can share a code too.
Anyone out there still have one? I was holding out for the PH-2 but with recent news and my Note 5 on its last leg, I need to pick up something. Any help is greatly appreciated!
