All the phones I have had with FM required the use of the headphones as antenna, and this goes for the tiny portable FM-radios I have had too. As the FM lies around a wavelength of 3m, they need something comparable to 1/4 of that, that is comparable to 75cm. So even the largest phablets would struggle with FM with an internal antenna only. It might work with a strong signal under ideal conditions. So without knowing for sure, I feel quite convinced that the cable is needed.

Oh agree to a large extend. Though for Danish dead-keys or not is not a big deal as the only accented letter we use is é, and even that one is seldom. So in all practical usage it is limited to foreign names, and thus not a big deal for us how to get to them. I see the three common German letters with umlaut and ß as national letters (like our æøå) rather than accented letters. And isn't it the same in German that (other) accents/diacritics are rarely used, so the way to get to them are less important? (In standard Danish PC layout we have the dead-key approach on two keys on the right side,

Well I do not know the whys. My point was just that IF they were to change to a 'classic' flat display with bezels that has dimension where it actually protected anything, then that would lead to a (slightly) smaller display area, everything else unchanged. But I would guess that a big part of it is the style-thing. A usable keyboard in itself is very much a retro thing for many out there, and if it also LOOKED like a 2010 device, some could be scared off.

Personally I on a PC use a Danish physical layout keyboard. But at the least 95% of the time I use it as US, as this is the most efficient for brackets, braces, carats etc needed in coding. The only exception being mail, docs and the like, when written in Danish. But on a relatively small device like this, I expect that I (relatively) seldom would need the special keys. I mean sure I sometimes write 'odd stuff' in mail&sms, but honestly on my phones&phablets, the keyboard is primarily used for regular texts, so here the national letters are far far more important. And I would be ve

Well we can do a little calculus knowing the display is 2:1 gives a width of 5.99"*25.4/√(1+2²)=68.04mm. Combined with the width of the device 73.6, we get slightly short of 2.8mm bezels on each side. Not many devices with traditional mounting have less bezels. If you look at Meizu 16X, it is pretty close in dimension, and have a ultra thin bezel around the display. But if that thin I doubt that it will help much in protecting the display. EDIT: I'm not sure it got the edges protected either. A device like the Sharp Aquos D10 got slightly larger side bezels.

Well hopefully we will have them as well as many other symbols available from the keyboard, without them being printed. All the modifier keys, gives a huge number of possible combinations, in theory (seeing the right and left modifiers as eight separate) so 2⁸ x 58 gives almost 15000... But even 'only' five not seeing right and left different gives 2⁵ x 58 or 1856, and that should be more than almost any of us would ever need....

I would not mind that one either, but guess that the audience for that is rather limited. I mean we can have the functionality, but do we need the print?

On a PC browser it is in the top bar. I hope they find a better colour combination for the mobiles also, where it indeed currently is really hard to spot.

(Moved your comment to this thread) The idea is that for languages only using A-Z, this shift would centre the letters more. The idea is that if you operate with two thumbs, and let the left/right thumb do what the left/right hand do on an pc keyboard, it would be a longer stretch for the right one. See the rest of this thread and also the thread on German layout here (I'm not a fan of the shift either, especially for layouts with national letters)

As suggested earlier, I have a perhaps optimistic hope, that cutting one from a S8+ or S9+ with a class cutter might be a possibility, if the side-curvature matches.

AWESOME! Thanks - may I suggest to add it to the specs. :-D

@Waxberry, I for one would definitely go for the first of the two. Remember that the national letters are there for a reason: Common usage. And the idea of the QWERTY/QWERTZ/AZERTY/... is that the letters to the very left/right of the standard block is the least used ones. The whole point of swapping Y/Z as that Y is really rarely used in German, and Z frequently used. (They got Ü for the sound where we use Y). Thus it is NOT a big deal that the leftmost letters are the hardest to reach. And as said earlier, it could even be used in Scandinavia, if not enough users show interest to sust

Well IF the keyboard is 'fixed' and has to be factory mounted you are right. But IF the keyboard is a thing that is easy to replace for us as users, it might simplify (and thus reduce the costs) to deliver all with QWERTY, and have the QWERTZ, Scandic, AZERTY ... or whatever, be a completely separate thing following later. The pre-order page got a FAQ that could indicate that is what they plan to do (but I do not know) When will you support other keyboard layouts (QWERTZ, AZERTY, Scandi etc) The Pro1 will ship with QWERTY keyboard layout, when there is sufficient demand we will create a

Currently it is not a priority, as the only currently available option is the type of power plug, and so few are likely to want to change that, so they can fix that by hand if you mail them at orders@fxtec.com

Well "joke" was pushing it, but though in principle useful, it is rather impractical for most users daily routines if a device needs over 10 hours for a full charge, I would claim that for the vast majority of users it would be so impractical that it is at the least close to a "joke".

Click the account silhouette, and select pre-orders in the left band. (Note that the silhouette icon and "my account" leads to different places - a bit confusing...)

Well if you like the daily news fresh, like the two hours DR P1 send from 16-18 every day, then well...

You would get a terrible experience with a 5G only phone, as the net is just starting to roll out. and it will take years to get total coverage, especially in rural areas. Most devices still supports 2G for the same reason. IMHO it is always nice to have the ability to fall back to the slower older generation of networks, when the reception of the newer is poor or non-existent. And while some of us are so eager to get a keyboard phone that we might be prepared to pay for things being the absolutely newest technology, this might well loose some users in the other end, not finding it worth th

Hope they can fix it easily. But more generally for others: Please note that the difference is the power plug only. The Pro¹ is one version all bands. So even if someone accidentally ordered the wrong variety, it would just require the use of a local charger or a conversion plug.

At first "Thanks" can feel a little awkward when not talking an answered question. But I for one plan to use it also as "Thanks for posting this", that is sort of like a "+1" or "Agree", (as on your post)

It has been asked before, But I do not recall that there was an answer... (And I don't know the answer) But seeing some of the devices on the list, I do not see what should prevent the Pro¹ from being able to get certified. Though I guess they might want to be a little closer to final production design before sending a prototype for certification.

New thanks and quote functions works just great, thanks :)

I too would like FM, but I doubt very much that it will be there when not mentioned in the specs. I would like DAB+ too, but that is even more unlikely.... And indeed Radio over data, can easily eat 0.1GB/hour (DR.DK Danish national broadcast eats that) so for those having a few hours of daily transportation this can add up to a substantial amount for a month, e.g. 20x(2+2)|x0.1GB=8GB
