I just shattered the screen on my phone. Does anyone know where I can get it replaced? I guess I'll be getting that one plus three sooner rather than later. Damn I'm pissed.

Haven't forgotten about responding to your other post. Screen is a high point. I get compliments on it often. It's very bright and crisp.
The phone is thin but sturdy. The manufacturer sandstone case is quite slim. It's a good bumper, but I'm admittedly hesitant to not put some thicker case, preferably with silicone.
Dash charging is great. The charger heats up so the phone won't. I'll buy the car version as soon as it's in stock.
No SD slot
USB c can be OTG host
Finger print scanner is very good
I'm still getting used to Android again, but from what I gather, this is a pretty decent version of it.

Thank you. I looked at the phone on Amazon today. They want five hundred for it or you can buy it directly from one plus for a a hundred dollars less. The only problem is the Eleven day shipping. I guess I'm going down to best buy and getting a 6p for four hundred.

There should be a number you can call. When I shattered my 6 screen I called Motorola and they sent me another one for like maybe $75 or so(maybe 175). You can probably get them to replace it for pretty cheap since the next iteration is coming.

I found a new screen for a reasonable price but the how to video was too much for me. I may can find someone to change it. I've been wanting the one plus three.

Was the 5x purchased direct from Google? When I broke the screen on my N5 I called Google and it was replaced for free because it was bought from them and less than a year old.

Mine was closer to 7 days. I think it was either 6 or 7, if that makes a difference to you.

They say eleven days on the website. Did you buy directly from one plus?

Nevermind, I was just told by project Fi support that the only phones that would work on their network were Nexus phones. I guess the 6p it is. I just can't believe that's right though.

I asked and they said I was on my own for not purchasing protection. I'm off this weekend. I'll go by best buy and pick up a 6p. Or I could switch to straight talk. I'd have better coverage and not have the hassle of switching from wifi to tower. I just like the project Fi plan.

That's 100% false. Nexus are the of devices they support on their network. Go to the project fi reddit page there's a ton of useful info.
