This looks interesting . . .

**IF** it ever ships. Apparently, it's taken longer to develop than anyone expected. Now promised for late in 2016. But you can pre-order now.

Yeah... I've been following that device for about 3 years. My enthusiasm has waned. Reminds me of the evolution of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle.

You are obviously wiser than I if you have only been following the Earl. I paid for one three years ago.

Yikes! I was close...

It looks cool, but the lack of an actual product kinda reminds me of the elio 3 wheeled 84 mpg car... They pimp that thing all over social media and have been for years with nothing in production.

Wow, they have $700k of their $350k goal, but yet nothing to show of it. Grumps, that's terrible that you've been waiting for 3 years for something that the company is just dragging along.

Nevertheless, it's a pretty cool looking product, and for the price they want, I think it would be worth getting one someday. I think I'll wait to see one on a shelf however!

No VHF, no e-ink screen, slightly less weather data...but it exists: https://www.chinavasion.com/china/w...oid_Phones/Conquest-S8-Pro-Rugged-Smartphone/

I've ordered all my family's phones from these guys for the last 6 years or so. Fantastic service.
