I certainly would assume so! :)

A number of people have confirmed that my suspicions about the Cosmo (which caused me to not order it) were entirely correct; it's barely a phone. It's basically an ultra-mobile PC running Android with a phone feature built into it. It's more of a phone than the Gemini, but a lot less so than the Pro1. I've asked myself if I would like to own a Cosmo.....I keep coming up with the answer "yes, but I don't think I'd use it much." I do most of my mobile typing laying in bed, and my current devices Droid 4 and BB Loo....er, PRIV, are infinitely better suited to that. I have a laptop, but it r

Well, productivity is king! I'm sure the shifted layout was chosen for that very reason. Once F(x)tec gets out of crunch time, they have already said they'll look at other keyboard layouts, such as scandic. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of clamoring for it would motivate the production of a non-shifted version. Creating a new keyboard is a lot less of a time and effort investment than a whole new device. Perhaps in the long run the current layout offerings of shifted-QWERTY and standard-QWERTZ will be expanded to include scandic, unshifted-QWERTY, and who knows what else? A new ke

I forgot about him. @Hook AND @sequestris got one, although one of them passed it to a friend. :) I know at least 1 or two others have gotten them as well.

You are THE man. Have you also sent it to @tdm so he can add it to his LineageOS build?

A number of people in the US do have one. @sequestris had one but now one of her friends has it, @Hook has one IIRC.....most of us everywhere are still waiting, but some have made it to the US. Actually I know from maintaining the network compatibility list that at least 2 if not 3 more are documented to be in the US, but can't remember who has them.

@EskeRahn time to update, and your assistance would be wonderfully appreciated. :) Changing it up a bit.

@Craig I read in another thread that you were bricked. Could you tell us how you got there so we don't do the same thing?

Well, I no longer need to reply. You wrote it for me. 🙂

Does anyone know if the phones the worriers at US customs confiscated made it back yet? This represents a device pool which could be deployed to customers as soon as it is received, if it has not yet been. In the grand scheme of things, this is a small matter, but I would like to know if Uncle Sam gave them back their stuff yet.

Boo! Selling your soul to the reseller devil for a buck that takes 100 out of F(x)tec's not deep pockets. This is short-sighted.

I'm glad @sequestris has a sense of humor 😉

Because that takes whatever discount they had to give the reseller straight out of F(x)tec's pocket? That's a bad thing right now, as we need them to have money to make more of these things. I'm glad @sequestris is such a good ambassador for these things now, because it looks like a lot of people are just greedy cutthroats who don't care about anything beyond instant gratification. She got 7 more people to lay down bucks and get in line. Whatta girl! ;) Someone has to help F(x)tec survive its fickle customers and grumpy suppliers! :'(

Should be a lot of cases laying around for Note 7 that people would love to move since all the actual devices are crushed by now...... Am I a bad person that the hotspot SSID on my Droid 4 is "Samsung Galaxy Note 7_1097" because I think it's funny? :O

I read somewhere that someone had a problem with flashing until they used a USB3 port. Are you on a 2?

He bought his through a reseller who no doubt bullied F(x)tec with their lawyers to get product ahead of the real customers. He then cancelled his preorder and smugly patted himself on the back.

They disabled that because it was causing a serious problem, with I don't remember what. They said it will be restored once they can figure out how to stop the associated problem.

Shhh......if they keep bumping to the end, maybe they'll get their device. :)

You've missed the point; this is a grudge thread, designed to help the OP make the case that F(x)tec is terrible. I hope people stop feeding his hate-mongering!

This thread feels really nasty to me. I feel as though the OP is just trying to make F(x)tec out to be liars. I didn't order until November, but wouldn't put my info here if I had been part of the initial preorder because this just feels like twisting a rope to use to hang someone. The OP practically said as much. Kill the dream? Seriously? Please, stop posting your info, and remove it if you already did. This is nothing more than someone with a grudge trying to build hatred. Don't feed the hate, and don't feed the troll!

My Droid 4 (on it now) is aging fast too....if we call the Pro1's specs 2017, that will be 5 years newer, and the P1 is not really that dated in specs. On top of that, there's a limit to how much "specs" translate into actual usable performance. If a keyboard is a curiosity to you, I can understand your actions. If a keyboard is the heart and soul of your mobile life, as it is to me, then that would be cutting off your nose to spite your face. We all decide what is important to us. A real keyboard is far more important to me than meaningless specs that don't actually improve usability.

But......clack.....[sobbing noises] I'll get over it. LOL

Gonna have to check the rules....some do allow multiple votes per person......

BOO! Protestors are becoming such a huge problem. [tongue bleeding, must resist urge to comment further.....ehhr....aahk....]

We're a compassionate bunch generally. The only forum member I know who is a bit mean-spirited doesn't come around that often.
