Lol its kind of funny that you say that I walked into a T-Mobile store where they had the LG v20 and my ZenFone definitely looks way better also I had a bunch of people in the store ask me where I got my phone and what was it haha half of the people in that store wanted my phone after I showed them what it could do but they couldn't get it because they didn't carry it in the T-Mobile store :p even the T-Mobile staff were floored by it.. :laugh:
My dad had the same experience at the AT&T store when he went to get a new SIM card. The difference is he was clueless about the phone and couldn't tell them anything but he said they were ooohh-ing and aaahh-ing over the phone too. All he could say was, "my son bought this for me and said it was going to be the best overall phone for the money by a lot". Now that the phone is out, I think the Special Edition might truly be the best overall phone period, regardless of the price tag attached (though it isn't like 800 is cheap...lol). The only possible quibble of this phone is that it doesn't have Nougat yet.

I pre-ordered the Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe 5.7" 64GB 4G LTE Glacier Silver Unlocked Cell Phone 5.7" 6GB RAM from Newegg on 10 Nov 16 and the shipping/release date kept getting pushed back. Now the status says "Out of Stock" and "Not Available" I already bought a few cases for this thing and a Pleson tempered glass screen protector. I was really hoping I would have had this thing before Christmas, but doesn't look like that is going to happen. :( I was due for an upgrade because I been using the Original Samsung Galaxy Note SGH i717. I bought a cheap unlocked HTC Desire 526 off eBay not so long ago to hold me over until I could get something better. Now the waiting is killing me. I hope the wait is worth it. What size micro SD card are you guys running in this thing? I already have a 200 Gb card in my HTC phone, just wondering if I should use that or get another one. Anyway, with any luck I hope they ship this thing soon. They said there was a delay due to a manufacturer shipment delay, but their shipment date of 15 Dec 16 has come and passed. :(
