So I thought it would reach out to snail games about TechnoBuffalo obtaining a review unit, this was their quick response, got this back in about 20 minutes.
Jesse,

First, thanks you for expressing suck interest in our phone. It's great to her from people like you and hear the reaction. The best news is the phone is available for preorder on Amazon right now. Just search Snail Mobile W3D.

I will reach out to Jon and put him in touch with our people so he gets on the list.


Here's to hoping TechnoBuffalo obtains a review unit.

Thanks again,

Dan Doughty
Director of Business Development

This phone is not released until Sept. 29, 2015 via Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Snail-Mobile-Gaming-Cell-Phone-Unlocked/dp/B00YZ2T55K

That is why I am pushing to have Technobuffalo and or other review tech sites so that we may better understand the device and how good the quality is.

Have you reached out to Engadget? They always get stuff early. IGN might be interested too.
I kind of feel like this is getting the same treatment as the xperia play, as in, the specs for the device are outdated before it's released. What do you guys think.

I will try to reach out to Engadget in the next day or two. I reached out TechnoBuffalo because. I had previously contacted jon a couple years ago and so I had his email address. I'll try to reach out to IGN as well, although IGN already has a short video from ces on the w3d. In regards to the age of the hardware when it's released I would say it's becoming slightly dated has no official phone came out without hardware until fall of last year that being said it should do the job for your phone and having it do for the next couple of years. But you're right this phone should have come out end of last year at the latest it should have come out month ago but if it did come out sooner I'm sure it would be a little bit more expensive

Man

WE ARE GETTING SO CLOSE

My only beef with the W3D is the size. At 5.5 inches its just TOO big. A high quality 4 inch screen would be preferable if it could cut down that ridiculous length

 

[ozzmanj1]

Just noticed that the Snail W3D Amazon link finally states it as having a MediaTek 6595 processor inside, rather then previously stated "fast 2.2ghz processor)

http://www.amazon.com/Snail-Mobile-...p_p_img_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0GQYEZVGQA51V620J67V


"MediaTek MT6595 8-Core CPU 2.2GHz"

Just thought it odd why they didnt state this to begin with.

What about the non-3D version with a 5" display they talked about a couple of months ago, did they cancel it? haven't heard of that since then.

I'm not sure what's happening with the smaller screen version several email replies have gone unresponded to about the smaller version. At one point I did read that it was going to be 80 dollars less for the smaller screen and 3d less version

no way, how coul i ever carry that thing in my pocket? the xplay is still my main driver, and it's pretty sad that after 4 years i didn't find a valid alternative...it's starting to show its age now, but i bet i will carry on another couple of years with my play..i'm a heavy retrogamer and watch a lot of music and movies on it..as i said before, no way i can carry that 5+ inch board in my pocket..just enormous

It's about seven inches all told more of a phablet! If my xplay flex cable didn't go out summer 2012 when I was away and needed a phone it would still be my main driver. Man I wish I could add 4g lte to my play I'd go back in a heartbeat. Perfect size nice screen good feel in the hand what a device! That gamepad is beyond awesome. It's actually the reason I went android!
