It actually changed now to: Order your Pro1 today. Shipping worldwide in 4-6 weeks.

lol no, pre-orders will START shipping on 29th october according to adrian, and it will probably take the entire month of november to ship them (if not into early december), so regular orders might not even ship in 2019... that's where it's intentionally misleading customers imho, because if you read (like I did) "Shipping globally is estimated to be early October 2019." without researching, there is no way in hell you are expecting that there is a massive pre-order backlog that will have to be fulfilled before they even consider shipping your order...

Some context: I found out about the pro1 during the IFA. I owned a n900 so was immediately sold on the concept. So I went to the fxtec website and found the buy now link. The claim was "shipping globally is estimated to start mid september". It was early september when I ordered. I wire tranferred the money immediately. And no mention of pre-order or anything. Now I am finding out that shipping will start end of october for pre orders only with some estimates that regular orders might ship only in december or not even this year. I totally understand prioritizing pre orders or backers, b

In this case the "Buy now" option on the site seems a bit dishonest IMHO. The current wording is: Shipping globally is estimated to be early October 2019. When I ordered early september, it was mid september. There's the delay, which is fine. But with the information you gave, the honest upfront wording should be "Shipping for orders that are not yours are estimated to be early october 2019. Your order will likely be shipped a month later.".
