The newly-unveiled Essential phone - dubbed Essential PH-1 - could start shipping by the end of June. In his first interview after the devices announcement, companys founder Andy Rubin said that they have plans to ship out reservations "within 30 days."
For those who arent in the know, the handset carries a $700 price tag, and isnt up for sale yet - you can currently reserve a unit by heading to the companys official website (for now registrations are US-only).
The phone will be made available through other channels as well, with Rubin noting that carrier and retail partnerships will be announced soon, although an exact time-frame wasnt revealed.
As for carrier-specific OS customizations, Rubin said the goal is to "try as hard as I can to have a pro-consumer product where you get to decide whats on your phone." He also noted that Essential itself also wont do much customizations to stock And roid.
