Meh...I got the 8T TMO variant. Just the phone. Great device otherwise. I'm just glad it fits in my 7t case.. Obviously cameras aren't aligned right, but it helps until my case gets here. I've got my permanent SIM unlock request being processed, should be done in 24 hours.
There was no case on the Unlocked version either, I had to do the same thing. Just a little irritating...

Mine arived with a transparent one with a "Never Settle" label on it. Looks solid enough to protect the 8T until Spigen releases their stuff.

Ok so I know it has been talked about but I would like to know if anyone has tried to make one. Just did a quick search and those sim covers are quite pricey. ~$20 being the cheapest on eBay. Any ideas? I saw the ONLY case with it built in but that is also pricey ~$30
Thanks

Seriously? Because ONE phone out of hundreds builds in a kickstand it should become the norm? LOL.
Really tho, It's not something I think most people want to add bulk to their case for. Sure there's a market for it, but not enough to justify most making it. There are tons of pocket stands (even some that fold up into a credit card) available on eBay. I don't regularly sit in front of my 4" phone to watch things long enough to warrant having a stand, tho.

Agreed however when you get an "updated" version of a phone that has a kickstand it's kind of a bummer when it's not an option. I can honestly say i've never really had the need for a kickstand but having it available is definitely a nice thing.

I had no idea that you could unlock a phone that way. I've used hexedit on files and code in the past without issues, but I think in this instance there's probably enough unlocked phones floating around that I should be able to buy one without having to invest the time & research to unlock it myself and potentially bricking the thing...
Thanks for the suggestion though!

I bought mine on Craigslist of Seattle for $200. Mind condition month old phone in the box. I unlocked it myself with the hex edit method, which took about 5 minutes.
I have one for sale in Victoria right now.
Unlocked, rooted, and running smooth maximus gingerclone.
I love it but Wind is taking way longer than projected to come here and Fido can only run it on EDGE.
I've been using it for almost a month, it's in near perfect condition and has had a screen protector on the whole time.

Thanks bud, but I got one off eBay already for $217. Should be in my grubby little paws tomorrow, God and Canada Post willing!
- I got mine from Amazon when it first came out (got it delivered to my mailbox in Blaine)...
- got an unlock code from T-Mobile (the hex-edit method wasn't out yet).
- I'm using it on Mobilicity... $40 for unlimited data/calling in North America/worldwide texting...
- Running stock with Bali ROM, with some of the T-Mobile apps disabled. Waiting for GB ROMs!
So excited for this phone. I placed my order at 5:45 AM Wednesday morning for a black moon. I plan on getting ocean depths when it's available though and then I'll sell my black moon
Figured I'd start a thread for those of us waiting on shipping.

Ordered from their website. I don't have any issues logging into my account to see the order, though when you try tracking the order it just refreshes the order page.

Lol, I keep doing the same thing. It's like, come on, ship already.
We're only going to get the phone? When will the 360 camera ship? Will we get it still at $50?
Ordered through the essential pre order. Got the email, placed order, then realized I forgot to put my apartment #. Emailed them, they replied in a couple of hours and fixed it. Updated address showed that night in the order details. Happy to know this company is responsive.
Yep. Waiting game now for both the phone and a 360camera when it becomes available.
Also I really hope the rom community picks up similar to if it was a Nexus considering how open they are hyping this thing to be.
I loved my Nexus 6P outside of the battery and boot loop issues... What I would give for Pure Nexus on this baby...
I initially reserved the phone only. But now I want to get the camera also. Just emailed them asking if it's too late to get it for the $50...
Anyone planning on getting a case or screen protector?

@IM0001 I'm in the same stage of the waiting game as you. Hopefully, @BeansTown106 will bring Pure Nexus to the PH-1. If so that would be fantastic. I would imagine he is currently gearing up for the release of Android O soon and will have to transition his GitHub to support the Nexus and Pixel devices first and then maybe he will take a look at PH-1.
But just a guess on my part. Appears only time will tell which developers will support the PH-1.

SAME exact thing here.
Pre-ordered mine today. I get mine shipped 8/28 with two day shipping (sprint employee) for the consumers it's 8/31 and then they should be receiving their devices two days after.
Sprint will be supplying the cameras and they can be put onto installment billing. So, get them while you can.
Also, Sprint will have white and black for those interested. If you pre-order you get 50% off.

So i picked up a OnePlus 7 Pro from T-Mobile today and i know on the OP site is says it comes with a Preinstalled Screen Protector but the T-Mobile version doesn't mention it on the box and i don't see one on the phone? Why is it that they didn't get included on T-Mobile models? Or am i missing something?
The tmobile version so some reason didn't come with one.. I haven't heard of anyone who reported a screen protector installed..

I don't know how because I just talked to OnePlus and it's not included on the T-Mobile version.

It came with a clear case like normal and I bought one of the easy apply tempered glass screen covers.
I was about to post this same thread as I just unpacked mine, and I definitely do not have one, kinda sucks as I was planning to run that one until I find a decent enough one to get.

Finally Xiaomi 12S Ultra Arrived.
To my surprise I noticed a quite a few fingerprints on the camera. Anyway, maybe it was a pre purchase inspection I tought.
The I noticed some dirt inside the speakers... hmm I this a used phone?
Anyway I proceeded to set it up and see what all the fuss is about with the camera.
Going troughs initial set up steps, I get a message. " This phone was previously factory reset" Please use your Mi account or Gmail account associated with this device to unlock it!!
So basically TRADINGSHENZHEN set an expesive and used piece of worthless brick!
Currently awaiting their reply.. I honestly expected more then this crowed, but really Chinese are just not trustworthy.. Be carefull out there!!

Don't bother with that, send it back.
Maybe this phone has a problem, if you keep it will be your problem, don't bother.
I had exactly the same thing when I bought the thing in Singapore. But somehow I managed to log into my gmail account and set it up.
There were still issues though, unable to sideload apps. I couldn't take it back as I don't live in singapore though. So I did a new factory reset, and all was good. Got the 'setup your new phone screen' . And all was perfect afterwards. On CN rom.
I guess they login before they sell it to install play store....
Good luck!
if you ordered a version with eu flashed it will have twrp and the rom flashed.
You could ask for a sealed box when purchasing.
but they are usually careful with that.
i've been buying there for ages and never got any issues.

Thats the thing. I specifically ordered for CN version in the check box.
But this phone is 100% used.You can tell by all the dust inside the speaker vents and also the clear case is covered in greasy finger prints and wipe marks.
Still no reply from TradingShenzhen tho..
This company does not reply whatsoever! I will now start a credit card fraud proceedings and I will do a YT video and review them on trust pilot.Over €1000 is not small amount to be taken the piss!
Careful who you buy your phones off
TradingShenzhen responded: engineering error they check all their devices before dispatch.
Advised to do a fastboot FRP removal which erases the google account lock. This did the trick and the phone is now working!
But::!! This phone is a used phone.
Its had its firmware tampered with, despite the fact I ordered a new CN version and to top it off, the phone had already 37 Battery Cycle. This was a cleary used phone!

Someone tried to cover up a mistake he did by replacing a new one with his.
I wouldn't blame the entire company for this as "chinese are not thrustworthy" :| gotta be an amazing douche to say that.
I know some famous platform in China are selling at a much lower price than from Official Xiaomi. The reason is that they would resell the returned or fake product. Your case is quite common in China and there is a chance that you are not lucky and get a used phone if you buy from those stores online. In China you can always return the product within 7 days with no reason if you buy from those platforms so those phones that are returned might be resell again as a new one if they look new or not activated, or for whatever reason. My recommendation is to buy from Xiaomi authorized stores online in those platform. I got my 12su from JD platform and the price is the same as the one written in Xiaomi official website since it is equivalent to buying from xiaomi.com. I suspect that tradingshenzhen is one of those stores that sell at lower price in china while they sell at a much higher price in internatinal market.
