Thanks for that. Complete or not, I think it's good to highlight shortcomings so they can improve. Also gives a better vantage point of what's keeping them from release.
Trust me I would jump at the chance of seeing the device in person, but I'm just waiting for them to cross the pond. Hopefully not over the next few weeks as life has gotten hectic.

A lot of people on this forum might mistake me for being negative, but I want this device to succeed probably more than most. Regardless I'm just here to get info like everyone else and give feedback where I can. I've owned just about every qwerty Android over the years and have used Android exclusively for years now. The success of this device will bear heavily on software, slightly less on hardware. Design doesn't matter as much to success (ex: Google pixel line is terribly designed but still sells well because of software and hardware support from the big G). Although personally I think the device is too big, hopefully it handles smaller than the dimensions suggest. Coating and textures play a big role in that. But for the most part I think that ship has set sail. As an exercise I picked an LG V20 to replace my tired pixel 1 to see if I could handle a bigger phone in preparation for the Pro1. Side note: quad DAC should be in every phone, holy crap!

Really hope they roll it out soon
