guys, can we move the convo to another thread (@EskeRahn, could you split the topics maybe)? that's not a production status discussion any more, for those of us who monitor this thread for updates. Sorry to be naggy🙂

I have GG5 on my current phone and it still shatters when dropped. not to pieces, but noticeable. I know it's counter-productive to say this, but just don't drop your phone (advice for myself as well) Unfortunately for me pro1 has curved edges, which makes things worse from this point of view, guess I'll use a case for the first time

it is up to us to make it as popular as we can (considering the limitations) to let the guys at fxtec make this one cheaper and also make a new one for us in a year or two, fingers crossed.

Even when you have all the processes ironed out it's sometimes hard to commit (without huge risk compensations, of course). Unless you have

How do you figure? isn't this exactly what pre-order means? Hell, I was prepared to give my moneys back in Feb or March or whenever I saw this. Like a lot of people said, the communication could be better, but I'm willing to sympathize, launching such an ambitious project is never easy. If it were easy everyone would be doing it. I know I would :) Regulatory limitations make perfect sense to me to delay shipping. Might have been unexpected delay there or just someone lost track, who cares, it's done now, "Manuel" is happy, we will be too one day soon. If you're like me, you've waited fo
