However it is made, I see it as a software add on and not a part of the device. To me it sounds more like an idea for an app than a request for a basic function.
-
Just a thought on how to save a little battery. Normally when I put my phone in the pocket it is top down. So what if the shake-function checked with a relative low frequency whether the device was clearly top-up (that is within some limit from vertical), and only when, checked for a shake with a higher polling rate. This might reduce the consumption in pocket or on a table.

Totally agree with you elvissteinjr and netman (again)

Though search is a nice feature it is way too unimportant to have a dedicated key for. IMHO And as Benjamin said above: "User-configurable" please. :) Generally I do not like the idea of any 'action' by a single key (And this goes for the F-logo key too...) Simply because the relative small keys inevitably will lead to accidental key-strokes. But where pressing the wrong letter is easily remedied by backspace, launching search (or anything else) requires a close of the program/function, that is not easily done from the keyboard, (though some might be reacting well to Esc) I remember

Same problem, Slim Saint Andrew crosses. I guess the picture upload service you are using are somehow inaccessible If I click one of the images I get this security message EDIT: Seems to not be a general issue, but some over zealous Danish security thing that blocks the site....

testdevice, your image links does not seem to work here. I only see two saint Andrew crosses

IMHO the right-shift of the A-Z should be limited to languages with no national letters, that is the US/UK layout only (AFAIK) Even the Canadian QWERTY layouts would expect national letters between L and Enter. So for all other layouts keep the A-Z in their standard positions, and use the keys to the right for national letters.

I'm with netman here. I too believe it could sell better with the curved screen. Look at it this way: Us dinosaurs that want the traditional bezel-fitting of a flat screen are most likely going to buy it with whatever screen it is made, to get the keyboard. On the other hand younger potential buyers might find it too much old-style with a traditional display, so here the curved display might tip the balance. I must say that I was strongly opposed to curved screens until I got the Priv, where I found it to not be as problematic as I expected. Actually I get more erroneous interaction of my

On the suspected problems with interacting with a curved screen while opening, I would say we should wait and see how things actually work. I heard none of the previews complaining on it. Doing a little calculus on "Dimensions: 154 x 73.6 x 13.98 mm" and "5.99-inch 2160 x 1080" gives us that the display area is 68.0mm wide so that would leave 2.8mm bezels on each side. And this might well be enough for pushing the edge NOT to interact with he display. On a Samsung S8- the similar calculus gives 1.8mm side bezels on each side, and here I do experience occasional unwanted interaction. So h

Various questions to the PRO1 not yet answered

½ pound, afaik. I do not know why the specs does not tell the weight. My GUESS is that some details can yet be adjusted, so they wont promise an exact weight. -
Nice DreamFlasher (though if the Scandinavian is to be printed we would like to have "Z/Y" and "Y/Z" also, as we use QWERTY as a base). (And perhaps Psi would me more natural to put on the national key right of P rather than on Y, and Omega on O not W? like this )

Copy of Open bootloader? Other capabilities?

Ah, yes you are right, sorry, there is a limited time for edit. (which makes a lot of sense). And indeed let us hope other users chip in. I have no idea of the distribution of interest/preorders cross the globe. (nor on what layouts they prefer)

If you edit your 'old' comment with an updated picture/link, i can remove our replies, to avoid confusing other readers. :) BTW there is an odd BUG in the forum, so if you edit a comment multiple times within a relatively short time span (an hour?), it gets caught in the spam-filter, assuming you as a spammer, posting the same again (it fails to see that it was edits....).

Cool elvissteinjr, much easier to quickly make suggestions :) PS: I believe you swapped Ä and Ö usually (AFAIK) on German keyboards is ....JKLÖÄ i.e like this

bob3k, Have you tried a Samsung S8+ or S9+? The width is right between the two, and the Pro¹ a bit shorter. Remember that it is 2:1 not 16:9 so 6" sounds larger than it really is. It is substantially less wide than a BlackBerry Priv (with the keyboard in the wrong direction) -
I agree with Netman here. barmas, Remember that sliders are still a niche product, so the production volume is going to be low, so the development cost distributed per unit is MUCH higher than for a device sold in many millions of specimens like say a Samsung S8/9/10. ...Actually I had expected it to be priced higher for that exact reason....

...Actual Scandic user could live with this QWERTZ-DIN-layout-print!! We just have to ignore the 'swapped' Z/Y print, and that the Å-key says Ü Ö and Ä wil be perfect for Sweden and Finland, and good for Noway (Ø=Ö and Æ=Ä - same sounds, different symbols). And acceptable for Denmark (ÆØ swapped compared to Norway) IDEA: Combine the QWERTZ and scandic layout by printing YZÅ on the German ZYÜ with a different colour. This would make it almost Perfect for Sweden and Finland, and OK for Norway/Denmark. maki.jouni made a nice sketch for how it should look for Finland here And it is clear th

Just a maybe crazy question. Why do it need to come with a power adapter? Would any local USB adapter not do the trick? Preferably supporting QC3.0. Maybe offer a minor discount if (pre)ordered without an adapter?

Shift the A-Z letters 'back' left, to allow for the national chars. See the black print on DIN keyboard here as a god stating point

I'm with you guys on this, a very nice and decent approach to test the interest to know the scale of the production needed, and then not requesting the money before everything are ready for ordering. I hope it does not mean that they only produce the pre-ordered numbers, as I'm sure that when we flash the devices in real life, we will make more people interested, and I for one could consider buying one or two as a spare also, but would like to have actually had the device in my hands before ordering additional specimens. And others might feel the same way.
-
I like that case https:TerribleKing, It is always the corners that are the weakest spots (less the glass surface of course) And a nice thing that it is slim on the middle as adding to the width of the Pro¹ in the 'holding area' could cause some users trouble holding it.

On the GPS, I'm not sure about Galileo, but can't imagine that the others are not there. And if I look here it is clear that the chipset is supported, so would be very surprised if that did not work as well. -
I would like FM radio too. But I guess they would have mentioned both that and IR in the specs, had it been there. but of course we might be lucky that it is just an omission.
