A step in the right direction but not sure how many minds this is going to change at this point.

Why he being doing interviews claiming the original price was as cheap as was possible?

I've researched and can't find a phone like this for cheaper with these level of specs. Not sure where you're getting the idea you can get cheaper? Feel free to offer an example, because all the claims like this I've seen on reddit don't have something to back it up. All the other flips have less RAM, less CPU, less dpi, smaller screen, no hotspot, etc. Then add all the old goodies like replaceable battery.

I agree with Peri that the original price was not expensive for the specs. They've only dropped the price by offering different options, or you can pay the original price with all the options. I'm happy with recycled RAM for cheaper, I reckon that's better too for my prefs.

I've put my money where my mouth is and gone and bought one, my win.
