Got-to-have add on for your V1P

I really like to have the geo-tag with my dash cam video, so for the low cost of this GPS (as well as the low price of the V1P) you should definitely get one.

... so my central air went out...

Verified Purchase:Yes
... in my +/- 2200 sq ft two-story house. During a heat wave.
I bought two of these in hopes it would "take the edge off" until I figured out what's wrong with the central air. We installed one in the middle of the first floor and one in our bedroom upstairs, with a box fan on each floor to help circulation. Much to my surprise they are keeping the whole house completely comfortable! And even though I fixed the central air I'm still just using these as a scientific experiment to see if it's a little cheaper (I think it will be).
Only gripe is that they aren't particularly quiet. If you tell it to stay on low fan speed it's acceptable background noise you can sleep thru; any higher fan setting (or the smart "eco" setting that cycles it on and off) and there's a good chance it'll wake you up.
All in all happy with the purchases!

All the features you need, none you don't!

First and foremost it should be said that battery life really is as good as advertised, if not even slightly better. Charged it fully almost two days ago, still at 95%.
In addition to this I also own an Android Wear device with fancy GPS, phone/text/app integration, fitness tracking, etc etc... It's one of the smallest ones available at the time (mid-2017) and it feels absolutely giant and clunky by comparison. And it gets a day and change of battery life. And it will soon be listed on eBay.
If you're texting or making phone calls on your smart watch because you aren't able to get to your phone in your purse or pocket, then you really should reevaluate the urgency of that text or phone call (and possibly some of your other life decisions that brought you to this current level of connectivity dependence...).
If you're like me and want a low-maintenance, semi-smart watch that does a great job monitoring sleep, exercise, vitals, and just so happens to give you call/text/calendar notifications, buy a Steel HR.

Fantastic phone at a bargain price!

I was initially worried about making the jump from VZW to Sprint for a number of reason... however I've always been a fan of getting things that NOT everyone else has (i.e. Samsung or Apple phones) and the promise of a super inexpensive PH-1 put me over the edge.
And let me say I've been very pleased with the decision overall! Everyone initially gave this phone low marks for its camera, and at the time it deserved it. However updates (probably almost 6 month ago now?) made the camera a non-issue. Camera performance is now far better than my S7 work phone, and on par with my wife's iPhone 8+.
Very solid phone that feels good in your hand. Not gigantic, so I don't feel like I need one of those pop sockets to keep from throwing it every time I pull it out of my pocket. Great screen, and solid battery life. And the Sprint service has been totally worth switching as well!

A blast, until it breaks. Repeatedly.

There's an old saying that if you aren't breaking things you aren't going fast enough... that is very much the case for this truck. First time it broke was my fault, landed a jump wrong on pavement and broke a front suspension piece. Since it is very nearly "hobby grade", replacement/upgrade parts are easily available on ebay. So i fixed the suspension, and the very next time i ran it the steering servo crapped out.
I'll now be either returning it (I'm still within 30 days) or else cashing in my GSP if the store gives me a hard time about returning it without the box.
