Essential Phone - Best Phone Ever For Little Money

Get the Essential Phone PH-1 for $224 - CNET. I got the Essential phone yesterday. Total cost, with tax - $239. You can't get it at that price; but, even at $344, this is the best, fastest, smoothest phone I ever used. It upgraded to Android 9 PIE immediately, and it is like the Palm Pre Web OS card based system all grown up. You merely flick apps up, out, or up, and move from app to app with a gesture. It is so fast I can't believe it, and it is comfortable to hold and use in one hand. This phone is actually better than the flagships that cost almost $1,000. The battery life, after some hiccups in the beginning, now approaches two days. The only thing I am missing is the headphone jack; but, it comes with a dongle if you need it. If you don't grab this phone, at this price, don't come crying to me when you miss that extra $700.
