Seems to be back.
Its the nicest built of the ones you listed and has a very nice lcd display, awesome battery life and generally works pretty well. The digitizer is my biggest issue with it, and the Pixel 2 and Iphone 7 cameras are better.
If you do want one, I would recommend getting an amazon warehouse deal here. They currently have quite a few for $320-$330
Unofficially, it can be bought on German Amazon.
I, too, would be interested if only they kept the headphone jack.
Try the Essential PH-1 phone, there is a good deal on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Phone-Unlocked-Display-Camera/dp/B074BWGRKH/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1539124446&sr=1-1&keywords=essential+phone

Essential Phone is currently $280. Same snapdragon as OnePlus 5, not amoled though.
Pixel 3a is $399 with $100 e-gift card. It's new but it's a mid-tier phone, so it's a bit slower than SD 835 phones. Great camera, oled screen, headphone jack, stereo speakers.
Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact is also currently $399. It's tiny at 5 inches, but has SD 845, decent camera, no oled though. Also, the 5.7 inch XZ2 costs the same.
Phone size comparison.
You might get random calls or texts from people you don’t know from the previous owner of the number.
Have you decided which sub $200 phone you are going to go with? You might want to look at a used or new Essential Ph-1 Used (Amazon)|Renewed by Amazon. After software updates it’s a pretty good phone from what I hear. Other than that, you may want to look at either new Motorola’s (Amazon) or a used LG G6/G7/V20/V30 or even a used Samsung Galaxy S7 or S8 Used S8(Amazon)|Renewed S8(Amazon).
The Essential phone is pretty much today's version of the Nextbit. They're trying to produce a clean Android device that challenges the big manufacturers. They're also currently likely to get acquired themselves but in the meantime they're still supporting the device through updates: https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Phone-Unlocked-Display-Camera/dp/B074BWGRKH/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540216620&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=essential+phone&dpPl=1&dpID=41pchcdpyNL&ref=plSrch
Not new but you can find used ones. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B074BWGRKH/ref=mw_dp_olp?ie=UTF8&condition=all

Personally, when you talk about build quality, near stock android, etc. it sounds like you're almost perfectly describing the Essential Phone to me. It's currently $489.99 on Amazon. It has a nearly bezel-less display on 3 of the 4 sides (it does have a small notch, if you care about that.), and has a very nearly stock android experience. The speakers and battery life are decent. It has fairly recent specs, so performance shouldn't be a problem.
It may seem like I'm avoiding build quality, but I'm actually saving the best for last. While many phones use plastic, aluminum, or glass for the majority of the build, the Essential phone uses Titanium and Ceramic. It is a very durable phone. However, I would still recommend a screen protector, as that's not exceptionally strong.
Hope this helps :)

I purchased it from amazon, do you think it's still possible to send it in?

Just noticed on Amazon that the release has been pushed back to September 8th.
Everyone who was hoping to order through Amazon is going to be a bit miffed.
This is more than you wanted to spend...but it is quite a good deal.

Recently the priced dropped and I am looking to get this to replace my current phone.
I've never used it but the Essential phone is $399 now.

Essential Phone? not android one, but it's pretty much stock android. it's ~$520 (tax included, roughly 330 eur) here in Canada, but availability might be difficult where you live. You might be able to get amazon.com to ship to where you live
Nokia 7 Plus is exactly 400 euros I think, but I think the essential phone is a better buy
Oh. My. Goodness. I had the exact same awful experience with Telus!
 
I ordered on Nov. 6, and the funds were withdrawn from my account immediately (used my debit card online). The order confirmation e-mail came right away, stated that the phone would be delivered in 3-5 business days, and that I should expect a shipping e-mail soon - it never came.
 
I kept checking the status of my order on-line (https://www.telus.com/shop/mobility/order-status-tracker), but it would show absolutely nothing. After a few days, I e-mailed [email protected] - no response.
 
Over the next few days, I repeatedly:
 
At my wits end, on Nov. 10, I initiated a conversation with @TELUSsupport. @TELUSsupport was very gracious, assured me that the situation would be resolved, and that someone would call me soon to sort things out. 1/2 an hour passes - no call. I ask @TELUSsupport what's up, they apologise for the delay, say I'm next. An hour passes - no call. TWO HOURS PASS - no call. I wasn't upset with @TELUSsupport (I don't understand people who get upset at employees who have no control of the situation), I'd continue to send messages in our private Twitter conversation, and @TELUSsupport continued to apologise for the delay, and assure me that the matter would be resolved.
 
Finally I told @TELUSsupport that I had to go out for dinner, requested that they simply tell someone at Telus to cancel my order and issue a refund, and left.
 
At 5 pm on Nov. 10 I received this e-mail from [email protected]:
> Hello sydlex1c,

> Unfortunately the information provided for you(sic) order produced multiple discrepancies. We are unable to proceed further with your order online. Your order has been cancelled and refunded. Please visit a TELUS store location to purchase a handset.

Incredible! the way the e-mail is worded, it almost sounds like it's my fault "the information provided for you(sic) order produced multiple discrepancies". As if - I used the exact same payment method, shipping & billing addresses on Amazon.com, and the PH-1 is en route at this moment. I can accept that there may have been an issue with my order, but there is no excuse for not communicating this within a few business days after the order was placed, and I said as much in my reply to Telus.
 
The e-mail stating that my order had been cancelled came in at 5 pm on Nov. 10, FOUR HOURS AFTER I initiated my conversation with @TELUSsupport... No sign of my money though - I'm hoping that it'll show up by Monday or Tuesday, otherwise I'll have to try and contact Telus again (shudder).
 
TLDR: Cancel your order! Cancel as soon as you can before they charge you, and order from Amazon.com!
No details to get. The Essential Phone is just quite inexpensive now.

This is what Canada gets...lol fuck.

Just to mention. The Essential Phone could be bought from Amazon US. Amazon global shipping organize taxes and everything during checkout.

When you're tired of Apple, Google, and others spying on you, take control with Essential Product's Essential PH-1.
The Essential PH-1 is a flagship among flagships at a bargain price. Running stock Android Pie 9.0 out of the box it also has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB of ram, and 128GB of storage. It receives rapid ongoing monthly software updates and is scheduled to run Android Q when it is released by Google. If you have questions about upcoming changes or other concerns, ask the Essential Products senior engineers and developers about them in the monthly AMA at /r/essential.
The bootloader is simple to unlock with only a few commands from a trusted computer. After it is unlocked, you will find official TWRP support, LineageOS 14.1/15.1/16(coming soon), Ressurection Remix, CarbonROM, and other options. It is even one of the first to receive the MicroG based rom /e/.
This new option uses MicroG at the core of the ROM instead of Google Play Services. You can still use Google Play Store applications. MicroG provides different background services to them without Google Play Services on the device. This will stop most spying on your device from app makers, Google, or anyone else. Try it out today to take real control over your privacy!
