The guy from AndroidAuthority really doesn't seem to like QWERTY phones 😅. BlackBerry Priv review from the same person: https://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=17093&p=6693 "I'm not sold on the keyboard. The quality is fine, but the keys are a bit flat to me, They have BlackBerry's signature scalloped shape, but each individual key's profile could be more defined. Travel and feedback are solid enough. I pulled out the BlackBerry Classic (late 2014) and can tell you I like that keyboard much better. The Priv's keyboard feels a bit cramped and offers no benefit to me over

Newer chip would make the lifespan longer but I think that F(x)tec can do well enough with Snapdragon 835 also. Most manufactures doesn't even support their products over 2 years. Vulnerability patches can be implemented without the newest kernel in many situations. Even if F(x)tec is not able to support Pro1 many years, the community can help. For example, I have Nexus 5 (released 2013) running Android Pie 9.0 with latest security level. An example of what custom ROMs can do: Paranoid Android 7.3.1 Released with KRACK Vulnerability Patches, Anti-Shake mode in Camera, and more

Snapdragon 835 is still at the same level with 730 or 730G on performance. CPU is little bit behind 730G but GPU is more powerful. Of course, it is not as power-efficient as newer 730G but very good anyway (10nm node). Also, keep in mind that Google Pixel 2 uses same chipset than Pro1 and Google has guaranteed to update Pixel 2 to Android R (or 11). Android updates are not tied to chipset manufacturer support anymore since Project Treble came in. There are other changes as well. The Linux Long-Term Support is now 6 years instead of 2 years. In my opinion, Snapdragon 835 was very good selection

Thanks @Erik! I hope that you got public availability soon after CES and maybe win the voting competition for greater publicity. Any news about 3rd batch?

To be fair, it is possible that these retailers were IGG backers also. There was a possibility to select retailers bundle during Moto Mod campaing.

Pics or it didn't happen 😉

Check this unboxing video. It is containing 3 plugs.

There is no need to buy a converter since all models include a power supply with US, European and UK plugs, so they can be used internationally.

Pro1 has 500 votes now. 💪

It was written that if you pre-order from DragonBox before 14th of November you should be able to receive phone before Xmas. They never said that they would ship before 14th of November.

Only by 3 votes 😅. We got 300 votes in 2 days and we need 300 votes more to 1st place.

We don't have any official information but the 3rd batch should be on its way already. Probably somewhere between factory and logistic hub in Hong Kong.

That part of the update was about 2nd batch. 3rd batch is not delivered yet and people have not received any stock assignment mails from that batch. 3rd batch should include more QWERTZ devices. Post from Erik:

Have you tried to remap the camera button with 3rd party app? Like Remap buttons and gestures or Button Mapper? The first one works on my XZ1 Compact.

I am wondering if I should buy one unit from a retailer and then just try to sell the unit from F(x)tec with retailer's price later 🤔.

Clove Technology has also devices in stock If someone wants to buy QWERTY version. They updated the stock level yesterday like DragonBox. I believe that the 2nd batch to EU included these units. https://www.clove.co.uk/products/fxtec-pro1?variant=20904891482171

What have happened? It is under 40 votes to 2nd place. If we keep up like this Pro1 can actually win the whole thing!

We need to defend our 3rd place! But we got about 100 votes just in 24 hours and the gap to 2nd place is only 170 votes. It is not impossible to reach!

BOE is the supplier of screen panels that are used in Pro1. All the pictures are presenting components of Pro1 to be assembled for future batches.

Top10 finalist should be announced today.

Only 40 votes to 3rd place but our 4th place is also in danger. There is only a very small margin in top 6. We need to keep on going! Viva Las Vegas 🤩

About 30 votes in few hours! Not bad at all. 3rd place is totally achievable. Let's do this!

You should also include IGG coupon, QWERTY/QWERTZ, location and timezone to the list. I have: - Oderdate : 3.4.2019 at 6:44 am UTC +2 - Ordernumber: 11xxx - IGG coupon: Yes - Model: QWERTZ - Location: EU (Finland) - Day of Payment: 1.8.2019 11.45 am UTC +2 - Stock assigned mail : No - Trackingnumber : No - Phone received : No

Pro1 is currently 7th and top 10 is allowed to present product live onstage at the Last Gadget Standing finals at CES in Las Vegas. However, it is a quite tight race between 3rd - 10th. Pro1 only needs about 80 votes to 3rd place.

I don't have Pro1 (yet) but I have Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact running Android 9.0 Pie with physical camera button. I believe that the action of the button is pretty much the same (on the Android level) but of course the camera app itself might be working differently. 1) With the phone screen off, but no screen lock enabled, when the button is pressed, what happens? - I am too lazy to test since I would have to delete fingerprint from the phone... 2) With the phone screen off, but with screen lock enabled, when the button is pressed what happens? - Single press: nothing happe
