  1. Since I ordered my first Fxtec phone, a Pro1, in Sept 2019 (which also seems to become the one to arrive last...) I've read everything Fxtec communicated (plus every comment in this forum), including a couple of personal mails from support, and while I've been having my doubts and a lot of bad feelings about the goings-on myself more than once, too, from all we know nothing of what they have said over the time can safely be called a lie. Wrong, overly optimistic estimates by the bucketful, yes, but really nothing where we can be absolutely sure they would have known beforehand that their annou

  2. OK, ok, I was probably overshooting a bit. Sorry. 🙂 However, my point was not about something specific they wrote in this latest update. It's more that I dislike the overall trend: One year ago, F(x)tec had an in-house developer actively working on Pro1/X kernel mainlining and alternate OS porting. At that point they seemed pretty serious about delivering a phone with official, out-of-the box LineageOS and UbuntuTouch support. As I wrote previously, this was a very important aspect of the initial Pro1-X concept. During this year, they first abandoned the "out-of-the-box" part (by shi

  3. Your points are well-taken, even in your first post. I don't know what has been happening. I suspect they don't have a lot of money to play with, which might be why they couldn't hang onto that in-house person. I guess I just appreciate their doggedness to get us hardware in our hands that then may be able to become what we want. They crowdfunded a phone they had already designed and built with only more memory and Lineage and UT ready to go. Suddenly, they lost the SOC they had paid for and found themselves having to design a new phone in a pandemic remotely in China. I don't know m

  4. I just received this belt case from Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33002799045.html I ordered size 5.1 - 5.5 inch. Pro1x in silicon case (for Huawei P20 pro) fits very well in it. Finally I feel like my phone is well protected against accidental damage 😃

  5. I think this really does misrepresent what they said. They said the alternative OSs are community run projects by volunteers and progress depends on their time (true), but that they are working closely with those volunteers to provide as much support as possible. There was no comment about ask the devs. Only the continuing "if you have questions ask at fxtec." I do understand the frustration. Must be even greater for those who, who unlike you and me, are waiting without a Pro 1 in their hands. And, honestly, I bet FxTec are pretty frustrated too. I don't know the reason, but FxT

  7. FYI: There's a Facebook group called F(x)tec Pro1 Users and Fans, and there was a post today about another store getting a bunch of Pro1-X's: Hey guys, as you may already know, 100 unused fx tec pro 1x(SD662 6GB 128GB) arrived at a store in Japan the other day and sold out by the end of the day. The price is about $300 USD. The performance is not up to date, but other than graphics-heavy games, it's fine and comfortable for me, who used to use a blackberry. https://weekly.ascii.jp/elem/000/004/116/4116714/
