Yes it is basically a rugged and modernised version of the monster wide BB passport, with Android.

I think they more generally are interested in seeing if they can resurrect some lost ideas, so I would not be surprised if they would be interested in portrait also, IF they feel there is a market large enough also considering that it will cannibalise on the Pro1, as many of us users might accept both types but prefer one, and not only new users insisting on portrait. So it is a matter of the additional number of total keyboard users that could be added to the user base.

I also got this in the post today. It is a bit glossy for my taste, so am not going to use it, It is also a quite tight fit, so I hope some of the other ones I ordered has a better fit. (I have not bothered to either cut, or rotate the inner shell, though I did cut out the card-holder to get it less tight)

This generic flip cover will work in either direction you prefer, with no modifications at all, well if you want to use it the Nippon-book style, so the flap is behind the screen opened, you would like to cut a tiny corner that would interfere with the flash. It is quite thin, so might not give that much drop-protection, on the other hand, it does not add much to the thickness. It will take scratches and scuffs in say a bag or pocket though. Note that I have not actually used the adhesive to put it on, just put it in loose for the photo (and just leaning on a

Nice 🙂 You might add a number 9 for adjusting/extending the hole for the 3.5mm plug.

There are a few oddities as currently only two layouts are really supported. US qwertY selecting NO boxes, and German selecting German. It would have helped the confusion if they added a new say "Pro1 English (US)" to the list), so it fell back to the stock layout (similar to the "None" by FinQwerty) Alternatively they could change the .kcm for "English (US)" to doing nothing. Just like they changed the standard German to fit the qwertZ print. All(?) the other standard Android layout also needs minor adjustments to be really good on the Pro1. But I guess they simply have not got

"Strg" is a VISUAL issue, it is printed on the key (Short for "Steuerung" that is the German word for "Control" - related to the word "Steering" in English)

....I guess this is more your style, as you can have it both red and pink....

This works perfect https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183819340473 After a few mods, see the second shell here For some reason they do not ship to the US, but I'm sure you can find something similar. e.g this on amazon I'm a little worried about the "P20 Pro (2018)" in the last listing, does this mean there are even more variants to confuse us out there????

The big difference being that BB-take of Android is far from stock, where F(x)tec tried to keep Android as close to stock as possible. It is a no-brainer that keeping it close to stock eases the upgrades we expects, and reduces the risk of adding faults. I would prefer a functionality like this to be an optional stand-alone program, to keep the system clean.

...This is rather absurd. You REALLY honestly believe that there were/are no Quality Control and they have not ironed out a LOT of major and minor bugs before you even saw it? Please get real. I for one have since last spring reported a bunch of bugs that have been fixed, many they already knew. And that was even before the beta-testers got them. And yes it happens that fixing one bug creates a new one, that no one imagined could be related, and hence did not test...

Yes. Actually when German is selected (or Using FinQWERY qwertZ layouts), The key is not mapped to a single key, but as "Alt"+"S". Similar tricks are used for other symbols... (checked with KeyEvent)

It is Alt+Sym (it emulates a Keyboard-Open, that for unknown reasons sends F6 key code)

Correct, I overlooked that, sorry. looked at the prints only...

But the hardware codes emitted are the same. That is the point. Do you mean what the .kcm should remap it to for German? If so look at his .kcm files. Do you plan to build two system images that sends different codes for the two prints?

I'm guessing here: As these are kind people, it could be that they given the short interval between the refund and the new buy, simply remembered her and handled it as a 'regretted refund' and put her back in her old place in the queue, that is the first payment date (Aug 1st), that could explain things.

Yes. To see what the layout actually produce selecting stock, @Anssi Hannula has added the stock layout for selecting nothing and selecting German here Note that the Geman layout (currently, QX1000_EEA_20200106110245) has a few bugs, as it does not exactly match the yellow prints...

First: Thanks to @VaZso for explaining it better than I did. Let us look at it in a mechanical way: If you have no drivers loaded, and you press the third key in the first row you get a "2". If you press the key below it in the second row you get a "Q", no matter what is printed in that key. That is what I mean by them being electronically identical. The Pro1 does not 'know' if it got the qwertY or the qwertZ print. And by default assumes qwertY So if we want a "W" matching the qwertZ print, we need something that does this mapping, and that is what selecting "German" on the lay

The hardware keytops/prints are different (primarily shifted). But the electronic is the same. if I use a Pro1 with qwertZ print, without explicitly selecting "German" it acts as a qwertY (thus the keys not returning what is printed on them). See e.g. this guide. I wish they had added some magic flag, that said what print it got and handled it a deep level, but for simplicity they have not. So we ALL got a "Letter shifted QWERTY" device. Some of us with prints that does not match that, that needs a keymap to match the print. And this keymap can be either "German" or one of the opti

Virus discussion moved over to the other thread here

No. the hardware of qwertZ and qwertY are identical, it is merely the print on the keytops that are different. (This is why entering the initial password on a qwertZ model preferably would be done using the touch/fake keyboard)

Select another layout supplied by FinQWERTY (in stock Geman the question mark is currently put on SHIFT + sharp S, and the yellow symbols on E, R, M and Ü are not working, hope they fix it soon)

Have you tried to raise your voice, like if you were at a meeting? In my experience it is when the volume gets below a certain level it is cut off. This obviously is not a solution, but if this generally is a workaround, it is 'merely' a need of adjusting some limit somewhere....

Let us help F(x)tec with some show casing! I hope everybody will flash it around and spread the word to everybody they think might be just a little bit interested, or might know one that is... At Crackberry a guy was asking where he could try it hands on. So if you are willing to be contacted by someone that wants a hands on before buying, here is a tread to post your Country, state/region, nearest larger town, Then people can create an account in here and send a PM to arrange further. Please mark the geography in bold and/or a larger font, to make i

Interesting, let me just tag @Waxberry to make it more likely that he sees it. 🙂
