Yeah. It's just such a shame that 18-ish years ago I could nuke my Palm Zire 71, do whatever experiments I wanted, and then put it on the cradle, press a button, and everything would be recovered.
Android is still a mess of some apps that restore their configs, some that don't, etc. Just awful.
I'm still starting small. After I managed to break the screen a few weeks ago by dropping the device (had it repaired), yesterday I poured a good measure of beer over it (thankfully non-alcoholic, otherwise it would have also been a shame because of the beer) – good thing the phone was closed, I switched it off, cleaned it, dried it and it took no harm...

At least I enjoyed it for almost a month 🤬
Dropped it a day after I shipped my last in mint condition spare 🥴. And of course prices for the screens have gone up.. .
Did some tests of my device last weekend.
There has been quite much skepticism however the construction of the sliding mechanism is robust enough.
Hypothesis
During severe mechanical impact the sliding mechanism will take the most damage.
Method
Put the device on the roof of an automobile and drive 3km on the highway in 100km/h
Result
Everything broke except sliding mechanism and the keyboard.
Reflection
It is not recommended to transport your device on the roof of your car. The sliding mechanism of the F(x)tec Pro1 is a strong an
