But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

OH FUCK YOU OH OH OOOOH~

Maybe because its a kick starter company

Personally I would pass on it and go with a Brand name.

Their idea is good but I don't like the idea of cloud storage. i mean what if they went bankrupt? Pretty much you will that free online storage. I would maybe get the 1+3T if you are looking for something decent and doesn't cost a lot.

I've been using it for about 3 weeks. Got it for $120 USD from Amazon Warehouse US, in like new condition.

It's made by Foxconn for Nextbit. The build quality is not as good as one with a metal frame, but it's acceptable. Runs mostly stock Android, with Nougat (on collaboration with Paranoid Android) coming very soon. Pretty active customer support on the Nextbit community forum. They also welcome loading ROMs and tinkering with the phone; it won't void the warranty.

I disabled the cloud feature for photos, since Google Photos can take care of that and I doubt I'll run out of 32gb. The weakest part of the phone is the less-than-stellar camera; autofocus is inconsistent and it's slow to adjust exposure. The battery is small but it can last me a day with average data and screen usage.

Overall, I'm impressed with it, for what it costs. On paper, its performance rivals the Nexus 5X, other than the camera. However, its durability is questionable since it's only made of polycarbonate and glass. I got a Bruises case and a glass screen protector for that.

After owning Samsung and Motorola Android phones, I'd say my experience with the Robin's hardware and software is not inferior to its brand name counterparts at its current price point -- $180 USD new. In fact, its software support is likely better than the brand names.
