Can we get a locked thread with updates only? I'm tired of slogging through these threads just to find updates

Well the difference is, that the plane does not belong to FxTec and is also not chartered by FxTec, but FxTec sends the batch with a logistics company which does merge several parcels into the same plane. As far as I understand the Twitter it just says that the logistic company does not work over the weekend. So they have to wait for them.

We've had this question before but not as a poll, so let's do this :).

These tweets are getting really bold recently. (sorry, Eske)

At this very moment a batch of phones is being shipped to the ship which will ship them to the shipping location from which the shipper will ship them to their shipping destination...at some point.

Doesn't look like the weight was ever there, when we use a time machine. The info can be found in the comments of https://www.instagram.com/p/B2fAv1Nna8l/, and is indeed "around 240g".

Did you all notice that on every of those advertisement posts on their official twitter some fingers are blocking the view to the keyboard cutouts? I begin to wonder if the fingers are included in the device. https://mobile.twitter.com/thefxtec/status/1191784773796147200/photo/1

I could have sworn I saw the weight listed on a specifications page somewhere, but I can no longer find it. I seem to remember something like 230g or 240g. Perhaps this changed after design revisions?

No he said private airfreight is out of question. It still is sent by airfreight as far as we are informed!

Just to add, with Magisk you can make Android behave as normally installed, and therefore can run banking apps as usual. I would rather chose Sailfish (Had both phones after N900, N9), the OS itself is really nice. But I need Android support and Sailfish was always a bit buggy for me. Therefore I will use Lineage, Magisk and a very very thin GApps layer to make most of the apps run. I try to ensure my privacy on this one. How annoying this can be to work outside of the cloud in regards of backups and time spending is experienced fairly quickly. But this time I'll mod my Android till it br

Is my thought too simple to basically see it as a 3-step shipping? Factory - warehouse in EU, USA and probably Asia - custome5. Factory: production of devices, shipping in batches to the warehouses Warehouse: located in diffetent continents. Batches get sent there by air (shipping multiple devices is cheaper than single shipping to each customer around the world) and then get shipped personally to the customer Customer: The last step of shipping, ideally done as close to the warehouse as possible. While the first batch was first sent to the warehouse (fulfillm

I mean, I got this Moto Z to use the keyboard mod with it... and that fell flat. Don't blame me. I should've waited, but at the same time I had an Xperia Pro which kinda had no space left to install any new apps. Got a bit painful after a while, especially when moving apps to SD means to only move a tiny part of them. Keyboard sliders met their end here earlier than in the US too. I don't think there was anything with multiple cores or LTE here unless you imported it. And well, at the point when I had an incentive to ditch the Xperia, the importable devices were also kinda old as well.

everyone who is getting a pro1 is contributing to the betterment of this situation tho 🙂

Some sort of plastic only, yes. But it did the trick, and did not even break.

Are those screen protectors we bought plastic or glass? I haven't looked at mine for a while. Note to self: Yes, you *are* going to put that screen protector on before the phone leaves the house and before you bring the phone into areas of the house that aren't carpeted.

Erhmm NO, e.g.: But the cut outs are very small (less than an eight of square centimetre each), and it's actually a bit awkward holding the device using the keyboard NOT covering those... Also note that some images are older than the cut outs. On the oldest the Smiley print is on Sym not Alt. (e.g. this vs this)

That matches what I get within the accuracy of my 20 year old kitchen-weight, (including SIM, sceen-protector, and a few strategically placed stickers - and for the physics nerds: fully charged🤓 )

If you want to see the kind of apps available for sfos, check out openrepos.net. I believe it has been reported that there was a way to use a xperia license to enable Android Dalvik on pro1 with some minor hack on pro1 to identify itself as sony or something. But that's obviously not officially supported by Jolla. At one point in a sfos update q&a, it was stated that it should be possible to get anbox working on community port, but dunno if that has happened...

Found mine, so good 🙂

I thought that "not-so-smart" phone would mean a low-spec smartphone (since it was slow as hell). But I don't think it does really matter...

Well I guess someone was going to *test* this sooner or later :S

I have a Blackberry Q10, which runs Blackberry OS 10 (which is now abandoned). I have no replacement for WhatsApp, and it has indeed been a problem when I was still a student as the class exchanged important information on it. I resorted to installing an x86 version of Android on a VM on my computer, and it did the job. Having it on my phone would definitely have been better. I don't know any other mainstream app. I really wish they would update the MMS protocol so that WhatsApp became obsolete. BB OS 10 has a very nice messaging hub, so the email & phone functionalities work ver

According to previous mails written to the support and probably forum posts too, the initial plan was to send out small batches consecutively. They were going to be sent with only a few days of difference. I guess that plan was cancelled and they gather up devices instead to send them out all at once in mid-november. This makes sense logistically, financially and it probably even saves time since they can focus on the production of units. Also, this decision may has a connection to the shopping event in China so no deviced get lost or extremely delayed. We must not forget

There is nobody posting official Updates in this Forum at all. So what do you expect from a locked thread?

Too many of us are having FOMO and tracking ID envy so I think we're trying to count the number of devices shipped, batch size, order number, and somehow tell our fortunes. Thus we post and crowd this thread. They should make an official thread that is locked to FXTEC just for updates. This thread can be the discussion thread. Thus no one would have to read it for an update but folks are free to discuss.

It's next to me when I sit down I don't sit on it, And usually I'm not topless, so my Shirt covers the case. It should fit a bit tight, so easy pickpocketing or losing the phone when I decide to continue my walk on my hands should not be an issue. Well, sure there might be pickpocketers out there who could teach me a better lesson. But I'm confident to say that this is not my main concern

The next update video came faster than expected, wow.

Hi all, Since the Pro1 is going to support both 'regular' Android and also Sailfish or Lineage, I was wondering when someone would choose either OS, and why. I've read a little already about Sailfish and how it's an independent OS which stands clear from the large companies, so you can ensure your data to be safe. But, I would still want to use some of the mainstream apps like WhatsApp etc. , which aren't independent. What would this mean in regards to choosing for instance Sailfish? Would one of those independent OS have any use if you then choose to install those apps? What woul

The N950 was a device only ever made as a development kit and not available for sale to the public, but being very beautiful it hasn't been forgotten. I believe it was one of the main inspirations for the Pro1.

What is the latest slider keyboard phone we have currently? Is it the Photon Q or are there newer devices with better hardware? I didn't hear about the Nokia N950 before so I probably just lived on the moon.

Guessing here I think the confusion comes in as what previously has been labelled "Fulfilment warehouses", are here labelled "Warehouses", and the "Fulfilment centre (like FedEx)" is part of what was previously just called "shipping" as clearly a shipping partner.

Seems like we have different terms being used at different points in time. I think the common understanding was that they have a factory in China and they have fulfillment centers in different countries where they ship the phones too and then they are processed in those locations by people paid by fxtec to package and sort and put customer addresses on them, etc. Then they are mailed/shipped via normal means. Now it seems like we have: A) Factory where the phones are made in China B) Warehouses in multiple countries where the phones are shipped to from China and where all t

Feature-phones are a lot more than dumb phones. Feaurephones have internet access, dumb phones don't. I assumed that's what he meant, as very few went straight from dumb-phone to smart-phone. All analog phones were dumbphones.

I do not think it is done yet. Or even started. I think they are concentrating on the phone for now.

oh. Well. I figured everyone knew that already. Thanks for clarifying.

I would much have preferred "later", and preferred that someone to be someone else. But on the other hand it is good to know that it does not only look and feel like it can take a beating, but can actually survive to tell the story. A direct hit on the corners will kill many devices, e.g. with the screen cracking. So I hope this is just not a 'lucky accident', but a sign that it can take a little more beating than most. In old times usually the back plate and battery flew off on impact, thus taking some of the impulse/energy of a drop. I wonder if the two part mechan

Airfreight indeed. (We have enough of this conspiracy gibberish, without people misreading the information we do get)

Android app support is available in the commercial version that Jolla sells for certain devices.

The poll is slightly inaccurate because it did not allow for having both smart and not smart phones with keyboards (as I had both)

I was going to say similar. The reason some folk are getting a bit obsessive about order numbers and batches is because there's no information from FXtec.

I think whenever someone has put a Pro1 in the cart, the number is used. This could have been done to check tax or shipping before actually being ready to do an order - I frequently do that on other sites as this is often the easiest way to get accurate pricing all inclusive. I especially do it if I'm visiting a page with a language I don't/hardly can understand. Bought something on a Japanese site with this method and with Google translate of texts once...

The funny thing is I do actually have do not disturb set to go on from about 23:00 to 8:45. That somewhat falls around my sleep schedule. The issue is (as far as I know) you can only set one DnD time, and I'd much rather have that be on while I'm sleeping then while I'm at school.

On Chen video it was clearly seen that the box can contain only one row of boxes. Also, 600 would be too many considering the fact that there aren't even 3000 orders, paid or unpaid. After pressing support a little I also got an answer, my order (22xxx) is also supposed to be delivered by the end of this month and is in "second mass batch" so it's in third batch. It seems that second batch is about to cover all igg guys and some amount of earliest non-igg preorders. Mid-November for Fxtec is from 15th to 20th, so it means three weeks after supposed shipping date of 29th October but we all

That is still the case, correct, but there aren't enough units in the first batch for all of the backers. The coming second batch will cover all IGG backers + most normal pre-orders, potentially all because we plan to be in general availability before Christmas.

This went well.

Somewhat offtopic this one.
