I believe that was a woman, but my remark to him/her was that they could make a buck off those more eager/desperate that him/herself, and order another one for themselves later. :)

Now I remember why when I was initially doing the research I liked the IV over the III. It's been so long I'd forgotten. :O

Awesome! Hopefully as new images become available they place them there too. It is really a little beyond belief to have a phone manufacturer who actually supports people monkeying with the software on the devices, at least to the point of giving them an official factory image for when things "go pear shaped." F(x)tec is the phone company I always hoped would exist one day!

Thanks for the tip.....I will likely run LineageOS on mine, assuming the VoLTE works correctly in LOS. Dumb question maybe, but is there a stock ROM image available for download somewhere? When they release the update they're already discussing with the HDMI over USB-C baked into it, will that come OTA only, or will we be able to get a full system image that we can flash from recovery?

Why is it restricted to Europe? What silly laws in the rest of the world stop it from going there?

Erik Keymaster Posted 3 hours ago Hi everyone, A small update for you today. As some of you know our US shipment from the first batch has still not reached our US customers due to strict US customs regulations. According to the latest, the first US batch is being returned to our Hong Kong hub, but it's currently being queued in a customs office's sorting facility. We know the stock will arrive back, but by the time that happens, our next batches from the factory will be ready for shipping. Consequently, we will be bumping up the numbers of units in the next batches to accommodate f

I couldn't resist LOL

Nice clack. :) Watching it in slow motion shows that it is fairly gentle when it reaches the end of its travel, so that gives me high hopes for its durability. 120fps is not going to be fast enough for what I want to do, so now the question becomes Experia XZ2 or RX100markIV? Both do 960FPS.....backup phone or amazing optical zoom? For the my task the optical zoom would be more valuable.....

The Supreme Court just smacked them down hard on that. I believe that they did the right thing, although many people with whom I generally agree are weeping about it. Funny world....

Honestly Android has gotten very good. I'm not unhappy with it at all, in its pure form. Without the GcrApps, it's reasonably secure and pretty private because the GcrApps are how they monetize your data, but without them it's essentially just a HAL, UI and API support libraries. I prefer installing from packages, and installing only what I like my phone to have. It sounds like SailFish will give me that, but I will have to play with it once I have a supported device to know what will really suit my preferences. Is aliendalvik available to add to community builds, or only by buying or pir

This whole discussion has made me rather curious as to what SailFish was and why certain people find it so interesting. I read this article https://www.engadget.com/2018/03/01/jolla-sailfish-os-team-interview-mwc/ and will definitely have to give it a try now. I find myself very ideologically aligned with their mission.

My life is an open book. However, for those who do have a need to keep secret data on their phone for some reason, certainly the steps you suggest might be prudent.

Haha, clack the final sample while recording HFR with the retail unit. Genius. :)

Haha, if the FBI wants your data, they'll get it whether the bootloader is locked or not LOL! My strategy is to not do things which would attract their attention. :P

I'm hoping that LineageOS is ready by the time I get mine, as they typically have root access baked in AND no GcrApps. I also despise GcrApps.

The thing that puzzles me is how an attacker would get it away from you long enough to do something with it. If you lost it, the odds of it getting to someone who desired something beyond a free phone is fairly low, and if it's with you, near zero. It's definitely a risk I'm willing to take. Then again, I don't keep much on my phone and don't lock it or my key-in-ignition vehicles or my house because I live in a reasonably safe area, and other people might live in an area where phones are routinely stolen at gunpoint, and have sensitive data on their phone, and feel the need to take additional

That kind of creepy stupidity is not actually baked into Android, but is part of the G-crApps (GApps) that are usually shipped with it. Because they're not baked into the OS, the creepy bloatware is not installed by default on some custom ROMs, such as LineageOS, but comes as a separate package to install, or not....I have been running Android without gCrapps for a long time now. It's more like traditional Windows or Linux experiences, where you install programs from downloaded packages, and your machine is your own, running locally, unless you intentionally install a program that uses the int

I suppose it has, but some people have actually gotten their devices now, so obviously they are in production. It seems reasonable to suppose that some additional ones will drop very soon, and that is what is being said.

Someone care to smash an egg and record it with these settings and upload it for us to see? :)

REALLY???? Why would you cancel at the very last minute, when they're actually making and delivering the very device you've been waiting to get for months, and now probably are days or weeks from actually getting one? That feels a little like cutting off your nose to spite your face.....

ROFL! Still clever. Love it. :)

Taking longer than expected to deliver a product that hadn't even been manufactured yet when you ordered it is hardly treating anyone like cockroaches. Delays happen, and so will the arrival of your Pro1. Waiting is tough, but the glorious arrival will be awesome!

@netman might have if he'd gotten his already. :)

Is this your own artwork? If so, congrats, it's clever in every way. If not, that means the Pro1 is being noticed in the wider anti-fruit community. :P
