*ThumbsUp* That is surely the most likely explanation *LOL*

How on earth did my reply get in front of the original post??? 8-O

It is backlit. So without knowing the actual process I guess it is printing on transparent material.

I do not know the exact method they are going to use, nor the daily yield of the factory. But it does make sense to keep the production busy (as Noir puts it), on the other hand as a startup they do not want to invest in producing an excessive stock before they know the actual number of willing buyers. They have previously promised us indiegogo backers priority. So I assume Indiegogo backers paying quickly will be at the top of the list to get it. But there were only 1653 "backers", and some of these have had refunds (and a few had prototypes), so I would guess that it is less than 1500.

I have it 99.99% exactly the same way (substituting Hungarian with Danish in your text) :-D

Oh, you never got this, but here is a photo with a Pro1 on a piece of A4. Please note this is NOT the final keyboard, there are several minor adjustments, but for finger tests it will do just fine.

You are aware that this not like say the BB Priv where the layout you get has to match the print, right? As a Dane I have changed my order to German QWERTZ, as it will be reasonably close to Danish layout. with only a few keys with print not matching. It will be much closer that the shifted QWERTY. For any languages with additional national letters right of the A-Z block, the German QWERTZ is a good starting point, with only a few 'wrong' prints. But of course each can wait and see if enough interest will be there for their exact language layout. Personally I doubt it for Danish....

On one hand I -and others- complain about a lack of a common entry with 'all' the info that is dripped out through various fora and narcissistic media. And then you guys wants even more diversification of the info for people wanting to know all about the Pro1 with yet another entry? And the other way round too, yet another place the team should keep an eye on for feedback. Sure this forum has had moderation delay issues the last weeks after the spam attacks, but as new forum software is expected to be launched very soon, why not await to see if this will fulfil your wishes?

Well as long as you change before you pay, you can be pretty sure you will not get the QWERTY ;) ....But yes, it would be logical if they added the option to the initial dropdown,

Currently you can request an existing pre-order to be changed to QWERTZ. But I do agree that it would be nice if the dropdown for new pre-orders actually let us choose the layout, instead of making it with qwerty and then request it changed.

See this post Linking to this https://www.fxtec.com/request-qwertz/ :)

AFAIK almost everything should be accessible for service with screws, yes. Can not wait to see Ifixit get their hands on one...

(Though "Arabic" is among the already over 40 logical layouts you can select for the physical keyboard - but that is ignoring the prints)

Ah, you are right, it's not a final one then, because they did talk about those markers going to be fixed..

They got this on twitter a few weeks ago from Tokyo.

Thanks for the info :-D Did they say anything on how late this request is allowed? But I assume that if a request is made before pay, that would be fine.

It would be nice if they were also made available in here. The first ones were placed here: https://www.fxtec.com/blog/#blog But that stopped for some reason. PS I like that you got both the Logo as the avatar and FX on the name, so it is clear to everyone that you are part of the staff. *ThumbsUp*

Not really. Except the beta, some about the Düsseldorf event (now two days ago), and a photo sample. (I copied that to Chen's photo-thread)

Here an additional sample image from the last newsletter: [attachment file=23382]

Just a simple question, do you know of any devices that weren't buggy on release? And to the "Pretty stable". Well the MAY software on the preproduction unit I tested qualifies for that.... Never experienced other than minor bugs. Sure there were thing that was not implemented/finished back then as the Camera software. But what was there, certainly qualifies for "Pretty stable"...

Just a guess. If they feel quite certain that the hardware is finished, and it is just a matter of the firmware/software. They just might start the production of the units with software with known bugs, that gets fixed by OTA update on install. This could speed up things compared to awaiting the full beta process, and the correction of found errors, before production start. But as I said, just guessing.

I do not know how the beta test is going to work, but I hope they find an open way of reporting so people do not waste time on describing and reporting bugs other have already sent in. I don't see much point in doing it in this completely open forum though. I mean not much point in discussing bugs found as long as they are corrected before (or shortly after) release.

Yup, an odd bug, and even if approved they does not appear at the front as activity in the thread until a moderator make a comment in the thread too.... So I have made a habit of after approve to make a dummy comment and delete it.... Making it even more tedious.... I sure hope they find a smarter solution soon.

Well yes, we just got it in a newsletter: Beta Testing We’ve been going through the hundreds (and hundreds) of completed beta testing forms. Thank you to everyone who has offered to help us out as we have been overwhelmed and delighted with your support. We will be getting in touch with the lucky few this coming week, so keep an eye on your inboxes.

That puzzled me too. but asked, Boe (the manufacturer) says it is Gorilla Glass 3, So why Elephone write 5, I do not know. A little more on the different version can be found here, and many others clearly stick to 3. As I understand it GC4,5 and 6 are more impact resistant, and thus more scratch prone. (for physical reasons the harder, the more brittle)
