USB Port will be on a seperate PCB, no soldering required. Flex-Cable connecting the two halves will be seperately replaceable (compareable to HTC vision), their durability tests went through several manufacturers and different kinds of materials, the current used flex cable survived longer than the connector on the board (they changed the manufacturer after that). They plan to make spare parts available through sellers compareable to ifixit.

Not heard about any other way of retail yet, do you happen to have the source for your assumption handy?

me too, tested JuiceSSH on the pro1 in Düsseldorf, but the network was too bad, I was not able to test the arrow and crtl and tab keys unfortunately.

Please reach out to https://www.fxtec.com/contact/ I got a solution from Erik-FX since my Credit card payment failed over and over again. You're not lost, give them some time to answer, include your pre-order number. Good luck!

You can check your order status manually on your account, a "pay" button will appear next to your order as soon as you are able to make the payment.

the date and time of the post is now the time the post was 'activated'. Maybe you activated your post before the initial one. On the PQ you can see bright light around the keys. This is not the case with the pro1, the keyboard's backlight is only visible where it is supposed to be. See the attached picture for a comparison. [attachment file=IMG_20190723_172850 - Kopie.jpg]

My early pre-order date won't help me either, and I'm afraid to receive the payment notice some hours too late. F(x)tec mentioned their choice of processing the first orders already a week ago, I guess they thought well enough about it and won't chance it now. On the company's point of view, this method of processing might be the quickest to collect the funds necessary to keep the production busy and quickly distribute the devices. Who knows how many early pre-orderers were made, and the customers forgot about that? make that number 50, meaning 50 devices waiting for a week, maybe for the nex

Anohter picture of the QWERTZ, the same device which was presented in Tokyo

F(x)tec mentioned, that they currently want to make sure that all QWERTZ devices are shipped to Europe.. I guess they check the orders manually if you request the qwertz layout afterwards, and might decline US-QWERTZ requests. Might be related to logistics, because the QWERTZ devices will all be shipped to and from the UK.

@TeZtdevice Qwertz included sorry, Editing the post above is not possible

unfortunately they didn't share any numbers, I asked for them. But it was pretty clear, that the first units will be shipped out then. They will not be able to fulfill all the pre-orders within the first weeks.

The first units are planned to be shipped until mid-september. This is the status Adrian shared during the Meeting in Düsseldorf on 23rd. As said elsewhere, expect an official announcement and a newsletter next week!

Hi there, What do you think of the idea of adding another platform for us to stay connected, suggest Ideas and spread information? This Board is sure a great opportunity, but since we are even closer to the release, a more efficient way of direct communication beetwen us users could help everyone. I am not talking about ditching the Forums, especially for newcomers this should be the first adress for questions. In my opionion, a platform with the possibility of attaching files and having different channels for different topics is a great soluton. I also get that not everyone (including m

I tested sideloading the ARCore app today on a firmware build dated 12.07.2019, but the app i tried said 'AR not supported on this device.'. I did not have time to test more apps, maybe the first one I picked from the play store was just bad. the build was not 'approved' by google yet, but F(x)tec said they were about to get the gmo certificate stuff soon.

To get back to topic: I was kind of allowed to share an upcoming event for US-customers in NY! In addition, the team is expected to join the the IFA in Berlin, especially press people should have an eye on that. Expect official news shortly.

Off-Topic, but referring to Tomasz Papaj's post: I loved the optical trackpad HTC used for the Desire Z / Vison / Google G2, which was superior to Apple's boring Home-Buttons. The HTC Wildfire had this aswell, and the early Blackberrrys something similar as far as I can remember. (Trackball?) You could push the button to select something, and swipe this button to move the cursor or get to another input field very quickly. Acted like arrow-keys, but much more intuitive and quicker to use. Editiing texts will never get that precise again.

Is there a possibility, that we can have a look at the case from F(x)tec at the hands-on event in Düsseldorf?

abielins, the only band listed on your wikipedia link which is currently used on freedom mobile and which not seems to be supported is the FDD LTE Band 66, 1700Mhz. All other currently active bands are supported. I don't see an issue with using the Pro1. Band 4 is also 1700MHz, and that frequency is supported and used alot worldwide. please note, this is not an official statement or confirmation.

fardan50, Please add your suggestion to this topic: https://www.fxtec.com/forums/topic/poll-what-keyboard-layout-do-you-want/ As far as I know, arabic keyboard is not yet planned.

..keep going, 37 flooded pages...

Seems to be fixed now. Session 1 15:00-18:00 Session 2 18:00-21:00

Yes, that is my point. Any confirmation which is the correct time now?

About the Event in Düsseldorf, there are two timeslots available, but each timeslot has 2 different times written in the description? Which times are correct? Sorry if i'm missing something obvious. [attachment file=20242]

I'm totally on your side here, refreshing the site several times a day, longing for more information. But I can't agree to the black-painting: Even if the information and updates are not on a regular basis, spread across different platforms, remember the folliwing: not a single update was a step back. The device is happening. Several people, not only invited press, were able to hold the mostly final product in their hands, EskeRahn propably already uses it as a daily driver (surpressing jealousy here). And the minor delay from "july" to "summer" might, as written elsewhere, just be a warning
