Just activated my second PH-1, purchased from the famous Amazon sale. Accubattery shows 90% (have charged battery to 85% three times over the months). Send good vibes to California if you get a chance. If I get Two years service my $488 will have been well spent. Enjoy

I honestly really love this phone. I'm coming up on 3 years with it, also purchased from the Amazon sale haha.

But my battery is at 58% capacity, about 1750 mAh. I would like to replace the battery, but the local phone stores say they won't be able to replace my battery. Or if they do, they don't offer any guarantee.

I've got a battery in cart on ebay, just waiting to decide if I should order a screen also as insurance. Seems easy install. If it goes south $13 lost. Enjoy

Do you mind sharing your link for battery and screen?

I got this screen only because it had one day shipping and I broke my original in the battery replacement process. They are basically all the same at this point, just go for a good review one.

Yes, you will 99% break the screen. I am pretty good at phone repair and I broke it. Just buy the OEM battery also, the extended ones seem to be a lie.

For $400 you can get a S20 FE on Ebay. I just revived my ph1, but the FE is such a good deal.

I am terribly tempted with Note 10+. Enjoy

Sorry for being a bad bot :( Maybe this joke will cheer you up: Apple is designing a new automatic car. But they’re having trouble installing Windows! :D
