Keep us updated, please.

Also, do you get to keep the 'evaluation' device now that the final product has arrived?

The phone's surface on the golden top and bottom parts look uneven in the picture, like a bad paintjob. What kind of material are those?

Does it have a screen?
I am sorry, it is always the back (or what) I see!

Because the screen is normal whereas that back is sure to capture somebody's attention.

I still think its gaudy. But I'm definitely not the target audience for that styling.

Regardless, thanks to this thread the updates are still ongoing.

I'd prefer just black or grey. The red camera accent I could live with but the rest is a bit over the top. Maybe change the red and blue angled pieces to just plain gold without the pattern.

It's a bit too much of a bling-bling to my taste. I suppose there are people though who want to show around the top-expensive device they have bought...

What's the coloured parts made of, the TP's supposed to be made of full-metal alloy so are those bits painted on it or some kind of plastic attachment to the device?

I doubt anyone wants to show around that phone in real life, unless it's real gold :D however, if anyone wants to do a SciFi remake from the 80s, this phone would play the part perfectly...

But if they actually deliver something soon, it's a achievement by itself, despite colors.

This.
I was surprised to see another evaluation unit.
Sure, you can paint it black and say they do not deliver on the final product and still very few users going public.
But those backers who get "something" are genuinely rewarded with some unicorn hardware that will make up for theyr investment if they resell it.
Would be nice to know how many of them there actually are.

I’m loving the phone's look. What's most noticeable about using this phone as compared with some others you’ve owned or used?
