They did some testing and came up with the idea, that this is easier for typing (centered). I for myself will go ahead and try it. Will have to rebuild muscle memory for thumb-keyboards anyway. Sure I would have bought a non shifted qwerty if available, but can't say that I am that sure it would be better without trying it. That would be a great plus!

Password Keeper or Locker for Pro1?
Doktor Oswaldo replied to rejujacob's topic in General Discussion
I would somehow like the see some resources in the keyboard-control area. omnisearch-launcher etc (there are enough other threads). Sure a third party app would be great, but I don't see that happen out of obvious reasons. -

The point I forgot to add: Your passwordmanager is not the primary attack vector here. They will force backdoors into the services directly anyway. -

Doktor Oswaldo replied to rejujacob's topic in General Discussion
This is definitely an over kill. While I understand the doubt in commercial product most of them have a great track record. And they would instantly be dead if they fuck up, because it is there core business (that is the difference to other companies). A lot of them are just so convenient that it is hard to think of anything else once you start using them. I use lastpass f.e. But if you don't like the cloud storage, you could use 1Password and sync your vault over Dropbox, iCloud or your own wifi. Keepass would be the opensource alternative, but it has some attack vectors. If that is not -
Sequence of order processing + issues with orders
Doktor Oswaldo replied to Doktor Oswaldo's topic in Support
You probably should write them an email with the name of the bank in it. Are you form the US/Canada? Seems to work fine for European customers. I ask because the US has often some strange standards regarding cards. Most of the time the rules are less strict there tough. *My experience with card payment systems is very restricted. -
Sequence of order processing + issues with orders
Doktor Oswaldo replied to Doktor Oswaldo's topic in Support
If it is in order of preordering it is fair yes. But I never heard of that, would suggest the system I suggested is used in some form. But I cancelled my first preorder to place a second on my company address which lost me some places, because I was unable to change the address on a existing preorder... But anyway my new preorder is at ~16k. Since they have at least ~23k tonight seems to be to early to cut. But during the weekend could be possible. -
Sequence of order processing + issues with orders

Had no problem paying, but recieved my mail 30 minutes ago. It seems like you were waaay ahead of me. To be honest this pisses my off a little bit. When the criteria is speed of paying, everybody should get their mails at least at the same day. This is no problem at all, when I am still in the first batch, but who knows... -
Sequence of order processing + issues with orders
Doktor Oswaldo replied to Doktor Oswaldo's topic in Support
My idea only leads to a delay in sending the phone, not in receiving payments and so also not in production. I can not think of a db structure where this select should trigger any problems. In the worst case you need two distinct queries which are used depending on servertime (This is only may daily buisness, so my experience says me I am most likely wrong ;-) ). That was what I suggested. I think this would only be fair. -
There is an official statement that deliveries will start in September. I see no reason to believe that it will get to november. The production of the phone is most likely quite fast. So chances are good, that we all receive our handsets until Oktorber. As long as we do not hear anything else from fxtec there is no reason to believe otherwise.

Sequence of order processing + issues with orders
Doktor Oswaldo replied to Doktor Oswaldo's topic in Support
If they have problems processing the shipment, then it is a valid point. I do believe our funds are too late for the the first batch of production anyway. I do not believe that payment will be delayed. Since the date of paying will be relevant after that week, I will pay as fast as possible anyway. Of course it makes sense to keep the production busy. But If they have not sold enough to produce 1 week prior they have a lot of other problems. I strongly believe, that the first batch size is already fixed and will be sold anyway. In the time this batch is produced other people will be p -
The newest newsletter suggests, that the orders are processed in the order of payment. This is actually good news for me, I will be fast and I need a new phone as soon as possible. But I do not think it is a wise move for the company. (Why am I doing this, I gonna regret this soooo much if they are listening) I suggest give people a fixed time, like a week to pay and then process the orders like that: 1. People with Indiegogo coupons, they are waiting for years (<- not me :( ) 2. All order orders sorted by order date. 3. All payments after the week or so, sorted by date of payin

This issue seems to be not resolved. Is there any news on this front? -
Video from the Düsseldorf hands-on/preview event
Doktor Oswaldo replied to scy's topic in General Discussion
Danke schön, informatives Video. I love the fact, that they put so much work into something like the battery-replacement, without making a trouble about it. It seems that while their communication often lacks, they really read and understand what is posted in the forum. It makes spending 650+ on a Smartphone so much easier, knowing you can replace the Battery. -
Additional Platform for Brainstorming and Conversation
Doktor Oswaldo replied to Noir's topic in General Discussion
I disagree to some point. This would be a great thing, and I voted on it, but not is the wrong moment in my opinion. They likely have sleepless nights to finish the device as soon as possible. Every additional channel is doomed to split the feedback from the team over even more platforms. Every feedback we give them is useless at the moment, since there is no time for changes anymore. But once the device has released, this may be a great idea. -

The problem seems to be that it is indeed manual spam and not a robot. But your suggestion would help anyway, since it would limit the mass of spam to a not so intrusive amount. -
Since the beta tester will probably have to sign an nda, I highly doubt that the testers will be allowed to post about bugs anywhere public.

What's your favourite HW keyboard phone?
Doktor Oswaldo replied to readyfx's topic in General Discussion
Another efficient Input the big I took from us. It is a shame that people were not enough tech savy back than. Mass appeal was everything, because most people did not understand that a smartphone will be a device to do everything soon. -
The need for a confirmation from a moderator makes this forum really really slow. Wouldn't it be enough to make the confirmation a must for new threads, but not for answers? In the current state it takes hours to make an answer visible, which may lead to a lot of people saying the same thing.

This thread is just for the visibility in the forum. Please do not reply. It was impossible to login due a captcha error. I reported it with a mail today and it is now solved.

I absolutely hate captchas, but that would be a solution

The first picture seems to be a little to bright, the second seems to be pretty good. In the third one the pro1 wins clearly. It surely seems the camera is already good enough for me in this state. It makes me optimistic that the camera is going to be pretty solid once it isn't WIP anymore. But I am a pretty basic camera user, wouid love to hear the opinion of somebody who has actually an idea about what he is talking.

Where would you like a presentation event to take place?
Doktor Oswaldo replied to Parhelion's topic in General Discussion
Maybe it has something todo with the country? They said they will present the QWERTZ-Keyboard, they may have invited only the People from QWERTZ Countries? -

Michael have you preordered the phone? -
The real pitty here is that WhatsApp is a must. I need it too, but would prefer not to.

I think they probably are talking about the beta program. If that is the case they have a slight delay. They will inform the lucky participants next week. Sure it takes at least another 1-2 week until they have the phone, so I would expect results mid august.
