Yes... in the UK the Three network are going to be doing them...

not convinced though... the specs are great... but as Essential have shown... its hard to do phones... and its going to be tough for them to keep going

Watched a few YouTube reviews, supposedly camera is lame and display not good in bright sunlight. Hardware specs look good and I like that Nova Launcher is the stock launcher. Front facing speakers are supposed to be awesome.

But Nova can be used with anything, so that's not a big gain (though I like their thinking there).

Let's be honest, it's a niche device. So to an extent it's success has to depend on how well it serves that niche. The question has to be whether it offers enough to gamers to offset it's weaknesses as a general purpose phone.

Indeed, and the last niche phone I can think of never did too well, and they(Marshall) never a made a successor.

Razer and Marshall are both very successful in their respective niche markets, but for smart-phones....meh!.

To me, the Marshall London(2015) is the poster child of a niche phone that didn't, and could be same thing for the Razer Phone.
