Nextbit Robin 'cloud phone' is going on sale at Amazon

It will be available for $299 for a week.

If you want a Nextbit Robin and missed its Kickstarter fundraising campaign in 2015, you may want to check out its Amazon listing. The "cloud-first" Android phone that raised over $1.3 million on the crowdfunding platform, is going on sale starting at 3AM Eastern. It's currently listed for $399 on Amazon and on the company's own website, but from May 4th to 10th, you can get it for its early bird Kickstarter price of $299.

Nextbit is headed by Tom Moss, who used to run Google's Android division, Android engineer Mike Chan and HTC's former phone designer Scott Croyle. They designed the Robin to automatically back up old apps and photos. But as we found out during our review process, the device suffered from a disappointing battery life.
