Hey Newegg - FIX the error, it runs Windows 10 Mobile or Pro via Continuum, NOT silly WIndows Home !

It's actually all it advertises/claims; I spotted it like a YEAR ago in development stage, released in August but HP stopped sales, refined camera, & finally resumed in October-November 2016, long wait...

Lack of Contracts with carriers to reduce price; as of today you still have to pay full/retail price for it; contract or no contract; same price

Imagine being able to carry around your PC in your pocket, using it as a smartphone by itself and as a full-fledged PC when connected to a display, keyboard, and mouse. For people who work on the road or in multiple locations, that sounds like nirvana.

Love my phone, durable and solid feel in the hand, finger print reader and iris scan is awesome! Windows 10 a little buggy but fast and responsive....wish it had more apps but then again if I wanna play games I have my android, it's only 999 at windows store, I wouldn't pay 1500 for it tho...

While having a very, very small market share, there are some excellent Windows 10 phones out there. The flagship Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950 XL were and are some of the best the platform had to offer, with solid performance, good looks and high end specs.

At the presentation of the company's representative emphasized several times that HP Elite x3 is not just a smartphone, a multi-function device designed to replace a laptop, desktop and phone one gadget.

When I approached HP about looking at the Elite X3 bundle, my goal was to be able to use the X3 for daily applications and try and use this as my only device. It's hard to grasp that you could move from a desktop + laptop + optional tablet + phone to a phone.

Great screen; Ample + expandable storage; Fast processor; Solid Office/App support; Integration with all Microsoft Services; Continuum works well; HP Workspace fills the desktop gap; Dual-SIM

Expandable storage replaced SIM 2; Diminishing app support; No multi-windows support in Continuum; HP Workspace subscriptions are expensive with limited connected hours

HP is a name more associated with laptops than smartphones, but with the Elite X3 the brand is hoping to bring a little of its business nous to one of the most crowded and, arguably, tough to succeed in fields in tech. The idea behind the Elite X3 is something we've seen before.

The HP Elite x3 looks like a great solution for enterprises that want to consolidate their hardware layouts, are willing to buy into the full Microsoft stack (Office 365, Skype for Business, SharePoint, domains) and don't allow BYOD.

Big, clear screen; Easily IT managed; Integrates well with Microsoft Cloud and Salesforce; Turns into a desktop or laptop with Continuum

Not as well supported by third parties as Android or iOS device; Continuum only works with a limited subset of apps; Main camera experienced focus problems in testing

Have had the phone now for a few months, my 10th Windows phone. Has owned Nokia, Microsoft, Samsung, and now HP's variant of a Windowphone. Have been in support with HP when I managed to crash the first one I had, very nice support experience. Is very pleased with it.

It all sounds like the Elite x3 is shaping up to be a real beast. It makes the best of a bad situation, focusing on Windows Phone's business strengths rather than going after Apple, Samsung, and LG in the home market. Unfortunately, that also extends to how HP's going to be selling the thing. You won't be able to walk into a phone shop and get one on contract; instead, HP will be selling it directly to companies through its business networks. That means it could be pretty difficult to get hold of one, but you certainly won't be disappointed if your IT guy decided to place an order. It should arrive later this summer, with more than 30 countries in line at launch, but there's no official price just yet.
