Cheers everyone, I ordered the Silver 4G/64GB + free battery one from NewEgg via link by OP. It looks like Amazon is out of stock for 4G ver. everything shows 2-4 weeks delivery. :)

ASUS website also have it listed too, Gold/Red/Silver still show available, but Black is out of stock with a "Coming Soon" status.

store.asus.com/us/category/A26847?_ga=1.255952971.1707793784.1422033273

Also I noticed if you buy it via ASUS, you get a combo discount for the ASUS ZenFone2 View Flip Cover Deluxe - $24.99.

It's $40 if you buy it separately.

store.asus.com/us/item/201504AM290000010
[ZenFone 2 General] MironV:
Damn...those are some amazing prices compared to what I've bought : )) (I had to pay some taxes and a new screen...since some issues occurred on mine)
[ZenFone 2 General] Faiyez:
Well... I really wanted the Gold one.... but Newegg was out of stock and Asus store probably charges shipping.

I went ahead and ordered the Red on Newegg. Dat battery pack.
[ZenFone 2 General] dysfunkshun:
I ordered the red from newegg after seeing Amazon was out of stock on here. Nice little bonus for the battery pack, hopefully I don't need it!
[ZenFone 2 General] samven582:
Newegg return policy sucks. I would never buy from them
[ZenFone 2 General] radon222:
Those of you who are ordering please post up your experiences. I'll be following this forum closely. This phone may be the replacement for my original Note that I've been waiting for :o
[ZenFone 2 General] dysfunkshun:
Never had a problem with newegg, plus if I order before noon its usually next day. Tigerdirect, on the other hand, is pure garbage.
[ZenFone 2 General] compuguy1088:
True, but they charge sales tax (For me that adds $20, essentially negating the discount).
[ZenFone 2 General] maback:
B&H have already sent me shipping confirmation with tracking.
[ZenFone 2 General] mrcamp:
ASUS website charges tax. $12 for me on the $199 one.
[ZenFone 2 General] TOT_tomdora:
I'm one of the people who ordered from B&H. Got a shipping confirmation an hour ago, delivery set for tomorrow. I'm incredibly excited.
[ZenFone 2 General] Trotter516:
Same here.
[ZenFone 2 General] nathan118:
Agreed....15% restocking fee, and tax here in Cali. Went B&H instead.
[ZenFone 2 General] Faiyez:
Now the 4GB is mostly sold out on Newegg. You can only get the red.
[ZenFone 2 General] alex.o:
I purchased a gold 4gb version from B&H this morning. I got the shipping confirmation by lunch. I'll get it on thursday. it is for my wife, but I may buy one to replace my note 3 if I like it.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

Is the camera as bad as some reviews say? Does the battery make it through the day? How do you like the zenui?
[ZenFone 2 General] Faiyez:
Does it come with earbuds?
[ZenFone 2 General] richard_rsp:
Ordered mine through B&H about 2 hours ago- Red, 4gb/64GB with the $14.95 Bumper case. Haven't gotten my tracking number yet, but very easy to order and no tax - win, win!
[ZenFone 2 General] MironV:
Mine came. But I bought it from Taiwan about 2 months ago. I also heard of someone who ordered it from China (if I'm not wrong) who didn't receive the earbuds.
[ZenFone 2 General] Faiyez:
Hence my concern.
[ZenFone 2 General] s0me guy:
Camera is awesome. low light performance isnt as good as they hyped it up to be, but its still Fine.

Battery life is solid. i got 5hrs screen on time over 40hrs . this was my 1st cycle and included me updating the OS and updating basically every single app that cam pre-installed. on top of that chagring time is ridiculously fast. it charged from 15% to 100% in about 30min.

Zen UI is AMAZING! so smooth, so much customization. i have not installed any 3rd party launchers an i don't plan to. its just that good. themes! Icon packs! you can even change the transition animations of the home screens and grid size in the app drawer by pinching the screen! :cool:

FYI: my daily driver is the VZW note3. i like the Zenfone2 more. I wouldnt say it blows away the Note3 but the whole experience is just better on the Zenfone2. (sadly im addicted to my S-pen so i am staying with my note3 for this reason alone)

Sadly it does not
[ZenFone 2 General] ycavan:
I ordered the Gold one this morning from B&H and had to call them back to verify the order, but no shipping confirmation yet.
[ZenFone 2 General] Tool Belt:
I have yet to have a phone that comes with ear buds that do anything but sit in a drawer somewhere.
[ZenFone 2 General] geegs8:
Ordered from amazon, told it won't be here until June 20th. Ordered from Newegg, they canceled it. At this point I'm taking it as a sign I was not meant to get a new phone now and just cancel my amazon order for this and the idol 3. Cranky.
[ZenFone 2 General] mrcamp:
Bought mine (2 GB version) from the ASUS website this morning. I did not see the bumper case on ASUS website, so I just now ordered it from B&H for $14.99.
[ZenFone 2 General] Reviewers:
Nope, only comes with the charging brick for the wall and the micro usb cable inside the box.

Well..... the phone also, haha.
[ZenFone 2 General] Faiyez:
Newegg also cancelled my order. Their anti-fraud system is just shocking and has surely lost them a lot of money over the years.

I've been able to buy from Newegg in the past, but yesterday I stupidly changed the paypal address before ordering.

It will probably be out of stock before I see my funds and get a chance to reorder.
[ZenFone 2 General] Ace42:
Sounds like you haven't used the Earpods or LG's Quadbeat 1,2, or 3. Also the Xiaomi Piston 2.1's (and maybe the 3's) are held highly, not sure if they still come with their phones though.

A warranty card is also in the box.
[ZenFone 2 General] Tool Belt:
Earpods as in......gulp......Apple?
[ZenFone 2 General] Ace42:
Yes, they sound much better compared to the older ones they made. I have Earpods & Quadbeats, both series have threads/reviews on Head-fi.
[ZenFone 2 General] Tool Belt:
I just can't go to the dark side.
[ZenFone 2 General] Ace42:
But it's just the headphones, I don't own an iPhone/iPad or OSX computer. :cowboy:

If Asus included headphones they would probably be garbage, and most users already have their own pair. With this phone the main appeal is the actual device so it's not much of a loss.
[ZenFone 2 General] TOT_tomdora:
The interesting part is that, looking at B&H's site right now, their "in the box" section shows in-ear headphones.

Also, it's good I ordered when I did --- they're all out again :P
[ZenFone 2 General] ycavan:
I just received my shipping confirmation on the gold one & yes, it says in-ear headphones are "in the box":

ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE551ML US Version 64GB Smartphone (Unlocked, Sheer Gold)

Wall Charger

Micro USB Charging/Data Cable

18W BoostMaster Adapter

In-Ear Headphones

Limited 1-Year Warranty

Edit: Will need to let B&H know that they need to strike the headphones from the box contents. No headphones, but I'm okay w/ that.
[ZenFone 2 General] Faiyez:
4GB is back in stock on B&H, so I went ahead and ordered the gold.
[ZenFone 2 General] TOT_tomdora:
Odd how they don't actually come in the box despite B&H saying they do.

LTE on AT&T

I purchased the red one from newegg and received it yesterday. Since this is the north american version how do i get it to work with LTE on AT&T. When i go to the prefered network type it only gives me the 2g/3g/4g option, not a LTE option/ Any help would be great. Thanks in advance
[ZenFone 2 General] byuboy87:
very likely 4g is meant to be LTE. try running a speed test.
[ZenFone 2 General] vnb28:

[ZenFone 2 General] deadman96385:
Ordered the 64gb Red one from amazon with 1 day shipping it will be here tomorrow, can anyone confirm that the dual sim functionality actually works? If it does i will be very glad because i will stick my T-Mobile sim into the primary and then a prepaid AT&T one into the 2nd slot for when i am out of T-Mobile range.
[ZenFone 2 General] vnb28:
I changed it to the settings above, i also tried other setting that i found online the only difference is the APN type, one setting also included "fota" and another "fota,internet"

The above was a bit faster, 8.?? downland

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

The dual sim did work for me, i had an open line on my att account so both sims that i have are currently in there and both work really good

[ZenFone 2 General] deadman96385:
Sweet good to know :D
[ZenFone 2 General] coastalmikey:
Yes dual sim functionality works, it worked on the TW version while I was there and the US version right now that I am using.
[ZenFone 2 General] mrcamp:
May be no LTE in that area. 8 down, may actually be 3G. Can you download "LTE discovery" app from the play store, and see what LTE band you are connected to, if at all? Have not received mine yet. Can anyone using this on AT&T post their speed?
[ZenFone 2 General] Quantify:
To get at&t LTE, you must use a SIM card that was provisioned for an at&t approved LTE device. Once your account is provisioned, you can put it in the zf2. AT&T WILL NOT DO THIS FOR YOU. You must buy or borrow an at&t phone first, provision the line automatically, THEN use it in the zf2.
[ZenFone 2 General] dysfunkshun:
Anyone have a lil engrish? Rolate instead of rotate, air plane instead of airplane?
[ZenFone 2 General] Quantify:
News flash buddy, there are people on this board who are not native English speakers. You might want to cut them some slack.

Tagging [MENTION=438582]Tuanies[/MENTION]

He works with ASUS and I've sent him screenshots of spelling/grammatical errors before. According to him, ASUS considers it important to have proper spelling I guess for more polished presentation and professionalism. Don't feel bad about pointing these things out!
[ZenFone 2 General] vnb28:
Do u just have to insert the sim in another phone, or does it have to be registered with AT&T first
[ZenFone 2 General] mrcamp:
You should be able to just put your sim in it.
[ZenFone 2 General] compuguy1088:
For a lot of foreign/international phones, 4g is LTE.
[ZenFone 2 General] dysfunkshun:
I want to love this phone so much, I really do. But there's some small issues that big the scrap out of me. First, I can't view my cameras on 4g, only on Wi-Fi (hikvision ivms-4500 and ediview viewer). I can't figure out if the app is the problem or the phone, but they both work just fine on my G3. Second, the battery life is not too great, but I kinda saw that from the early reviews. Maybe that's why newegg threw in the free battery pack, lol. Third, the radio's are not great for whatever reason. I do not get good signal anywhere. Like average -100dbM, when my G3 would typically set around -90dbM. Next, my Bluetooth connection to my pioneer avic-900nex is ok on my end, but whoever I'm talking to reports crackling and distortion. And I still can't get the tethering to work, I can connect to it but I'm always told limited connection.

I've already preordered the G4, but I'm hoping an update might help out with these issues, but it will probably go to a back up phone when I get the G4. Just wanted to share my lil opinion on it so far after almost a week.
[ZenFone 2 General] Faiyez:
Today, UPS delivered my phone from B&H.

On the other hand, Newegg/Paypal are still sitting on money taken from my debit account. They are appalling in every respect.
[ZenFone 2 General] jamiethekiller:
i'm getting bad bluetooth connectively on the other end of phoen calls as well. which is a gigantic bummer. i can't talk to people on my phone while driving until they get it fixed.
[ZenFone 2 General] Trotter516:
I have not had any Bluetooth issues with mine. I mainly use it for hands-free when driving and everyone says it sounds fine. I know it connects a lot faster than my OGP did.
[ZenFone 2 General] crenquis:
My Z00AD is a WW...

I'm confused... ;)

My phone is a Z00AD, but I got it in mid-May before the US variant was released -- it came with the WW firmware.

From the ASUS site, the only difference in frequency support seems to be that the WW doesn't have the 700 MHz/Band 17 support that AT&T and a few other providers in the Americas use for LTE and the US variant does.

What is the firmware "code" that the US ZF2 uses? e.g. CN, TW, WW, ??
[ZenFone 2 General] samteeee:
It's "SR"......If you look at the back of ZF2 box, where the details are, an item starts with "c..p/n", at the end of that string is the Variant's code in capital letters.
[Android Apps and Games] phanitej:
Liked the concept. Been a Long time use of solid explorer. main features that I liked are the graphical representation of the space used & the space occupied by apps/videos/gallery and files. Very useful. The interface is pretty simple and easy to use. Will be following the thread for updates

History Test

File Expert with Cloud V7

[IMG="Screenshots of File Expert V7 Interface"]http://cdn.appnav.cn/fe/images/fev7_screen.png[/IMG]

1. UI makeover

Turquoise and white interface with newly-designed icons for more comforting and cleaner visuals.

2. New layout

Users can now swipe to the left and right to view different file directories: categories, Cloud and tool, which expedites

file locating and operating.

3. Cloud collection

The new File Expert is more than local file management, which gathers worldwidely mainstream Cloud services (Google Drive,

Dropbox, Box, Yandex, SkyDrive, SugarSync, KDrive and Vdisk); users are able to manage files on different Clouds in one App.

4. Small and optional

Smaller APK size: only 2.73 MB, remarkably reduces memory space.

Optional plugins: additional features can be added as plugins according to individual demand.

Clearer UI, practical features

I've installed the App on my phone, here's my feedback:

1. UI

The new version does improve a lot in UI: the fresh color impresses me, comparing with ES, Solid, Astro's rigid layouts... I believe the fresh style suits me better.

2. Recycle Bin

The feature is pretty practical for Android file management. I sometimes remove files by mistake on my phone and cannot do anything to recover them. It makes me feel like I am using Windows laptop!

3. Safebox

An in-build file safebox will be easier to use when you organize files on the phone; you can copy or move them to Cloud or safebox, double insurance!

4. Suggestion

File category is more frequently-used than advanced features, I suggest you highlight this part instead of advanced features.

When I try to add account to Google Drive, the App is forced to close(My phone is Xiaomi 2S). Please fix it ASAP.

Thank you for such a good-looking and helpful App!
[Android Apps and Games] kedhar:
great app

Awesome feature's, but little laggy not that much smooth.. I am using mi3 . and add cleaner app inside like apk remover cache remover etc..

Ui is excellent ,but when we swipe upward then menu bar is hiding , please fix that

Could you explain the "reroute outgoing calls permission" ?

Unlike grey, blue and other dark colors, File Expert takes a bold attempt in interface designing. Personally, I like the bright color blending.

Unsmooth scroll!

Hi developer,

Here's my bug report:

1. The scroll is not smooth enough and the top bar will conceal when I swipe upward.

2. What's more, all operation seems slower than the previous, could it load faster?

Looking forward to your update!
[Android Apps and Games] xcxin:
Sorry, this is our mistake and will be removed in the next beta update, thank you for catching this issue

to get the files of usb i have to go to flash memory select storage than usb disk. it would be nice if the usb storage is shown under disk in categories. I like the options while deleting files.:good: Maybe an option for remembering the choice for future will be great in my opinion
[Android Apps and Games] anchits28:
Thanks for the update.

1. Can you please make it same for Web PC Suite. No doubt you have added this as separate app since previous version. But I always like it with in the app.

2. Also when we are adding multiple tools, there is an option to unfold to see other tools. Can you please remove that unfold option and add it as a scroll. Or make the added tools as drag-able so that one can move them to top position and rest are remains in unfold menu.

3. Please add passcode option. It is definitely required in a File Manager
[Android Apps and Games] xcxin:
Hi there,

Thank you for further feedback!

Web PC Suite is well-liked by most users; so we've separated the feature as an independent app. You can use it without File Expert while other Cloud and tool plugins cannot.

The optional tool and passcode are on our to-do list. I believe you will see it soon.

Please stay tuned to File Expert and contact us anytime.

Cheers,
[Android Apps and Games] xcxin:
Hi there,

Thanks for the further feedback!

We'll add an obvious portal for USB storage in the near future. One question for you: did you use a OTG cable for connection?

As for the delete options, the V7 version will will remember your last choice as default when you remove files. Do you want to hide the dialog box every time you delete files?

Let us know your thought!

Cheers,
[Android Apps and Games] miju12:
yes i had used OTG cable. and i don't want to hide dialog box eveery time its good.

Hello dev

I just found few more bug

1. Can't check property of system file i.e. build.prop in system folder. I can check property of build.prop file in es file.

2. Also can't open build.prop file by file expert if there is no any text editor in file expert it should call external app like html viewer or android text editor or any else but it's not calling any app to open and i can open build.prop file using es.

I am attaching screen shoot showing property option is missing also a es file screen shoot.

And last its a suggestion

Can u add multi page feature many other file managers are offering this functionality like es file etc.

Thanks
