The Essential PH-1 is a Sprint exclusive in the US where it's "expected" to begin shipping to those who pre-ordered in the next 30 days.
Carrier exclusives make it hard for a maker to reach a wider audience, but sometimes the better conditions they give allow smaller companies to pay the bills until they expand their market shares.
As for us eager fold on the other side of the pond we're yet to find out if and when we can expect the Essential phone.
