March update has been released here:

It's been a few weeks since my original post but the battery seems to be behaving itself much better lately. It's charging to 100% better and holding charge more now. There's been a few network issues around my location recently, loss of signal, poor reception and for the first time in like years my Pro1 has suddenly gone and restarted randomly whilst out on the road at 3 locations. Strange thing is my Sailfish Xperia 10 II has done the same in exactly the same locations. 2 different manufacturers, 2 different operating systems, both at the one time. I'm pretty sure we can say it's a netw

Really sorry that this is happening for you, and appreciate you posting a timeline for others to see. My Pro1 also experienced a similar fate (went black one day, wouldn't turn on, wouldn't charge, etc). I opted not to send it in because I worried I'd never see it again. I gotta hand it to Fxtec, though. Before this phone, I was a die-hard hardware keyboard user, and the merely okay experience of the Pro1 followed by its early demise cured my need for that. Turns out a basic keyboardless smart phone is juuuuuuuuust fine.

I'm using Vanilla from F-Droid. It can also use the keyboard to navigate around the controls and has a two-column landscape mode. Thought that was pretty standard. And no in-app purchases (as expected from F-Droid software).

It seems Pro1 manufacturing is affected, at least Liangchen Chen has written the following info on Twitter: Edit: Quote was not really successful, so I have removed some images/formatting stuff (quote inside quote of Chen's own text).
