So, now that the PH-1 is down to $650 no contact at Telus, what does everyone think?

I have to admit, this puts it back on my radar. Since I've finally decided to rule out the LG V30 as my next phone (a bit too pricey for my taste, and would prefer a closer to stock Android experience than LG provides), I've been waiting for the OnePlus 5T to drop. I was thinking it was the best way to get on board the 18:9 tall screen revolution but with a rock solid OS (I absolutely love OxygenOS on my OnePlus 3) and so on. I expect the 5T will be more expensive than the 5, as always, but even if it's close to $800 at the 8/128GB configuration, it's still a relative steal compared to the other flagships out there.
And then this morning I see that the PH-1 has dropped to $650, as linked above. I have to admit it's kind of tempting! That edge-to-edge display is pretty **bleep** impressive, and a lot chaper than an iPhone X! (that, and I'm not a fan of iOS--no offense to fans!). Granted the camera isn't great but it has gotten better through software updates. I don't need an absolute top of the line camera, just a "good enough" one really.
I dunno. Thinking about it! Probably a good $100-150 cheaper than the top end OP 5T will be now with this price drop and supposedly a liquid-smooth user experience, along with that massive display but compact body, making it even more hand-friendly for my smaller hands.
