@Waxberry might know, and if the question gets answered here then the information will be posted for anyone who ever wonders to see. :)

For what I'm going to attempt, more FPS is better LOL. Thank you to everyone who offered to do research. I eagerly await the results.

Your device's IMEI is essentially its global identifier, much like the VIN on an automobile. While SIM-based phones have more trouble with this scam than previous devices, it's still possible to steal service this way if you're clever.

Cloning. Criminals like to make their device pretend to be yours to take advantage of your service.

The fact that you got one in the US gives me hope that the customs delays are over. Yay!

If you don't need it now, you can probably make a buck off someone who is less willing to wait for it than you are, and then get another one in due time. At any rate, you should definitely have one in your life once they hit general availability.

Please tell me you've ordered another one so you will actually have one for keeps at some point! One does not simply walk away from a Pro1.....:O

I've already bought this, for reasons which do not pertain to its camera, but I do wonder if the Pro1 will have the ability to shoot ultra-slow-motion video, say 960fps or so, or if I will end up buying a separate device to do that. Does anyone who already has theirs care to enlighten me?

It's not a scam if people pay what they were told they'd pay and get what they were told they'd get.....whether it's a smart financial decision as a consumer.....well, we're clearly agreed it's not. The truth is that most people are their own worst enemies financially because they can't delay gratification when a new shiny thing appears, but will pay more to be able to pay over time and have the shiny thing immediately without accumulating their own resources first. If you're using someone else's resources, they will charge you for that. Save your own money for a bit, then get the things with

The Droid 5 is coming......from F(x)tec. :P They picked up the mantle and made the next Droid. Sorry Motorola...you missed the opportunity.

Good. I need to do that ASAP if I'm going to use it as anything other than a slab for playing media. I'm back on my D4 now, and what a relief. LOL. I can hardly wait for the D5....er, P1 ;)

They're not in business to lose money. They did the math. The house always wins LOL

The more we do something, the better we get at it. As someone who lives in the US, I assure you getting stuff across the border can be a trick. I used to work a stone's throw from Canada, and still am not that far, and lots of people who crossed the border regularly said that customs and border patrol routinely gave them a hard time trying to get into the US. A few were Canadian nationals, but most were US citizens, and their own CBP gave them grief getting home. It's not something I find wonderful, but it is a reality. Once they get accustomed to all the logistical requirements, it will go sm

Often you do, because they only partially subsidize the cost, and they finance the rest as a payment on your bill.

Yeah, that would just be stupid. Also, as I've said before, HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE UNSUBSIDIZED PRICE OF AN IPHONE LATELY? Really, the Pro1 is a bargain compared to iFruits, being only a little over half the price, and 10 times as useful in my book. :)

Likely they're just pulling out the boot image and some drivers, nothing more.

It's Google......disable it before it achieves sentience! 😮

Funny, that's one of the top 3 things I despise about this PRIV I'm using for a moment because my Droid 4 is charging. The keyboard touchpad is always moving things when I least expect it, and even managed to select and replace a block of text when I was attempting to insert an emoji via punctuation. The other 2 despised items are working in portrait, and the keyboard being only a 3-row. My favorite portrait phone (a little useless these days, but really my favorite smartphone of all time) was the Treo 700p, but that wasn't really a portrait phone as such because it had a 4:3 screen, so you he

So essentially the phone marketplace is a tin horn dictatorship? 😮 Get ready for Liberty, foul fiends of conformity! 😛

I wonder what a donor would have to contribute to bri....convince them to put back the legacy stuff. :)

Also, I intensely disagree with the decision to pull all the archived builds for legacy devices. I still use my D4 as a daily driver, still play with some D1s, and am very annoyed that I cannot get the CM/LOS ROMs for them anymore. I still have some local copies, but anyone who is just now thinking of playing with them is just out of luck unless they have a friend who still has copies. Storage is cheap; why not keep legacy ROMs forever as curiosities? For certain things, some of the very old devices are still excellent. There's no better device I know of for emulation than the D1, for example,

Woohoo! I hope it is packaged without Gapps like my LOS14 ROM on my D4 (current daily driver.) I despise Gapps almost as much as the creepy corporation for which they gather data. I have been running without them entirely for years now, and if I can't get them completely gone, such as the Priv I tried, I disable it all. Unrelatedly, I hope LOS16 supports VoLTE well as Verizon is planning to force the issue on that by shutting down their CDMA equipment at the end of the year, which is why I initially began looking for a replacement for my D4. The stock P1 ROM sounded like it was going to h

I saw it, hence my remark about it getting hammer therapy. :) That may have just been art, but still..... Back on the D4, no more Priv typing. I dislike its keyboard and working in portrait intensely.

My favorite! I can hardly wait.

LOL....truth be told, my Droid 4 can do all of that, but it's just feeling so reluctant these days....I've dragged it kicking and screaming into 2019 with a custom ROM from LineageOS, but am definitely looking forward to my Pro1. Also, for reasons I don't fully understand, I got the PRIV back out, and am using it to post this......I remember why I put it away LOL. It's better equipped, but less usable. I just don't like portrait.
