https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ the Phones tab: A UT forum is likely to be able to tell which. Googling suggested this: https://9to5linux.com/volla-phone-will-be-shipping-with-ubuntu-touch-pre-installed

Of course there are no 'wrong' reasons for buying (or not buying) a device. But if the Keyboard is of little interest, people could almost certainly get a better deal elsewhere.

Yup, got LOS 19 on the pre-production unit, and it is not bad at all..

And if `unmitigated disaster` matches 5 of 10, I wonder what he would call 4 of 10?... And as I added after you read the initial text, it is absolutely fair that he point out the missing OS.

Flashed aicp_pro1_s-17.1-WEEKLY-20221005.zip on security update 2022-03-05 Still initial boot-loop after flash, And still completely confused! Despite the outer file signals aicp-S and 17.1, the inner version is aicp 16.1 and tells it is Android 11??? So time to give up on AICP on Pro1 I guess!!! ...when I find the time this test-device will likely get Sailfish again...

I agree to some extent, and also that the 5 of 10 is not unreasonable, but how does that match the "Avoid"? A more sober conclusion could have been that the initial version of the Pro1X has several issues. So unless a potential new buyer find the keyboard so important that they can live with these. they should consider to await an updated OS, and/or availability of alternative OS. But the whining on why the alternative OS is not available yet, Well it is either a matter of deliberate ill will, or he does simply not know what he is talking about - I hope the second... And that he just hav

The lot of mails MIGHT be the problem... For all we know on their help-desk system, sending a new mail, joins the new and the old mail, so they can be handled together, BUT at the bottom of the queue. And don't ask me on the why it is this way. But at some point they told us that is how it works.

It would be interesting to know what your expectation are/were? What other start-ups has made a new keyboard-phone with a new chipset, and delivered it faster in this period? Have you bothered to dig into the backgrounds of this, or are you just complaining? The company intended to make the Pro1X as a tiny variation of the Pro1. They ordered and paid for the 835-chips, but were swindled and never got them, and in the meantime the chip went out of production, so they had to redesign the entire internals of the device, and new software for it. And they did that within the same economic fram

Have a look here: Most likely it is a carrier-limitation, not white-listing the Pro1 / Pro1X

Though the AICP-R has now fallen out the bottom of their download list, it is still available from their "vault" https://media.aicp-rom.com/vault/pro1/ 😁

There is a new version released that should, see: https://android.onse.fi/finqwerty/#pro1x ADD ...Just tested "Danish for physical US QWERTY", and it works flawlessly. Thanks @Anssi Hannula, for yet another good job. 👍

(lineage-19.1-20221003-nightly-pro1-signed.zip on September 5 security patch installed smoothly using adb sideload and MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_174313) Still with the keyboard bug introduced that messes accessibility apps (works on AICP R/S based on Android 11/12) see e.g. this.

And slightly off topic, but important none the less. The Pro1 would fit me substantially worse, had it not been for @Anssi Hannula's great "FinQwerty", that increases the usability of the keyboard substantially for me. The functionality FinQwerty offers ought to have been included with the phone from day one IMHO! (It is available for free on the Android Market though)

Spot on, feel exactly the same.

Well without having searched the market I feel quite sure that you can find multiple keyboardless devices with alternative OS. But SURE it is great that alternative OS are also available for the Pro1, and hopefully several for the Pro1X soon too. For those where a real keyboard is just a nice-to-have addition, they intend to use occasionally, they are likely to find the Pro1/Pro1X bad for their use case. For those where a keyboard is an essential part, to a degree where they might still be using ancient devices like the Nokia Sliders, well there the Pro1/Pro1X is a God-sent thing.
