Reservation

[moon2eth]

So what exactly does reserving the phone do? Will it give you an email notification that it is available for order or will it give you a personalized link to order the phone?

I imagine it might go out of stock fast on release date so I want to be prepared.

I wondered this too... I would imagine it will give them a baseline for production.
I'm a bit disappointed about the voiding of the warranty if you root/flash it, but I'll still get it.
If nothing else to support Razer on this. Once they gain traction on phones, and the gaming front (looks like it's a new engine) it should be even better.

Same. I spoke to them via a LiveChat, and they basically said wait for the email to let me know when I can purchase/pre-order it.

Personally, this wait is killing me. I want to get this quick so I can rub it in all the iPhone X users smug faces.

im sure there will be the ability to unroot the phone and reset back to stock for a warranty repair

I always wonder about a reporting bit somewhere in the firmware.. The S8 I sent back was kinda meh, at first I thought Knox was cool, but then after seeing Samsung's response to root, I named it Knarx.

very much doubt razer will put a knox style trigger on their phone.

Checking my email daily but nothing yet. Wonder when they plan on sending out reservation email? its supposed to be available next Friday. I would of thought they would have started charging by now.

I'm doing the same thing.

Omgherd the wait is killin meh...
I did see someone say in another thread something about 11/28 is the next batch?
That would really suck for everyone in the US since Three has been taking preorders this whole time.
I can't believe that Razer's "preorder" for us has been a notification email type crap.

Yeah exactly. One would think ordering straight from Razer would be the fastest way to get the phone but looks like that's not going to be the case..

I chatted with a Razer rep online and they had no information about how the release is going to happen.

Just put my order in!

Just got the email to order at 9:45pm eastern. The website still says notify me so thinking you need the email to buy. I ordered at 11:30pm and the limited green logo sold out, but got a regular one on the way!

I was contemplating being disappointed about the green "limited edition" ones. My girlfriend then said, "I'll paint it green for you!"
