    Are you sure they are promises? When I read their texts, I read expectations:

    Got any examples that state otherwise?

    Good for you. So am I.

    You do know that f(x)tec owners are not programmers, do you? You do know they are at mercy of snapdragon and google (android), don't you?

    What? It's not? Elaborate, please.

    Please be more technical on what you mean by "tie".

    So... You mean they changed linux for the PRO¹, is it? What kind of changes do you notice?

    Have you ever tried to make a new piece of hardware that has never existed before?

    Yes for example - http://aeroplan-pro.ru/elektronnyj-deselerometr-dep-5a/ 

    This is completely my development, and software and hardware, all from scratch, I did 1 in 2 years.  That was 3 years ago.

    Ok, I understood everything. Justify and justify and believe in those who cannot cope with their duties. Come to us in Russia, here they are very fond of such “endlessly waiting” and “believing in promises”. They will squeeze out all the juices from you and throw them in the trash like a rag, while you wait and believe. This was my last post in this forum. Good luck and patience to all, it is useful to you. P.S. I do not believe in promises, but believe in deeds, so I do, so my firm does.

    What are you trying to show us with that?

    It’s better not to have business with fxtec. That they do not hesitate to feed with promises like "next week." And the fact that we are not completely respected. (It's my personal opinion). And the fact that I personally was disappointed in fxtec. I myself am a developer of both hardware and software,
    and I understand that for YEARS it is possible not only to build a telephone, but to surrender it from scratch, patent, certify, test, navigation equipment for small aircraft. This is what My firm has done. If you think that creating a phone is hard, then you are not competent in the matter. For a long time, telephones are created roughly speaking from modules: you take SOC (a topic on the cross), and "tie" it with the necessary components like GSM GSM, GPS, etc. In the case of fxtec (my guess), they took the hardware from Samsung edge 7 as a basis, stuck a keyboard to it and made small changes to the kernel in order for this to work. During the time that fxtec is trying to stick a keyboard to a 3-year-old telephone, one could already (roughly speaking) build a plane. This is what I am trying to say.

    If anyone is interested, I wrote this letter in PLANET COMPUTERS - 

    Body: 

    Hello! I want to order "COSMO" from you. 
I am in Russia, in St. Petersburg, and wanted to know if I order and pay for the device today, 
when will you be able to deliver it to Me?
Are your factories in China? Are you experiencing difficulties with manufacturing or shipping your goods due to the virus? 
I ask because I do not want to be deceived as with fxtec with PRO1, who promised to deliver the device in 4-6 weeks,
and I have been waiting for the fifth month.
I hope you are more honest with your clients. Thanks.

    Their answer - 

    Paul E. Pinnock (Planet Computers)

    Dear Dimitry,

    Thank you for your enquiry.

    Of course Coronavirus and Chinese New Year have caused massive delays in production.

    However, Cosmos has resumed and we expect Cosmos to become available again in the second half of April.

    If you place your order today for one Cosmo, we can guarantee that your Cosmo will be shipped out to you before the end of April.

    This is the best we can offer given these trying times.

    Also, for your information, we have Gemini 4G devices in stock today and there is a sale on for Gemini 4G devices with 25% of normal pricing. These units we ship out next working day following a valid order.
     
     
    P.S.  "If you place your order today for one Cosmo, we can guarantee that your Cosmo will be shipped out to you before the end of April." -  I would like to hear something like this from fxtec.   I will make an order this week, if interested, I can keep you updated on COSMO delivery events. Do you bet? Who will come first? COSMO ordered this week or PRO1 ordered 4 months ago? Moreover, both fxtec and planet computers factories are located in China.  
     
    Patience is over.

    @sixaxis , you could add a number 8, see mail posted yesterday by @Raksura above.

    When they say nothing: people are whining
    When they say something without a when: people are whining
    When they try to give a vague estimate stating that it is out of their control. people are whining
    When they tell that the supply lines are working again and production and shipping is expected to be resumed: People are whining too ?!?!?

    What do you expect them to do in the current situation?

    Then a letter from texts like “wait, we work” will be sufficient for you.

    Otherwise - 

    When they say nothing: people are whining
    When they say something without a when: people are whining
    When they try to give a vague estimate stating that it is out of their control. people are whining
    When they tell that the supply lines are working again and production and shipping is expected to be resumed: People are whining too ?!?!?

    I expect useful information. And not something like this - “next week the fleas on the ass of some Chinese will stop biting him,” or “next week the planet Mars will be closest to the earth” ... And where is all this? It gives me as much information about my phone as it gives me message information from fxtec - absolutely not at all. They don’t say something like - "next week the workers will return to the factory AND THIS MEANS THAT ON TUESDAY (FOR EXAMPLE) THEY WILL START PRODUCTION, AND ON FRIDAY (FOR EXAMPLE) YOU WILL PRODUCE YOUR PHONE AND BY SUNDAY (FOR EXAMPLE) WE ARE YOU. No, that’s not there, there is only "next week there will be something and this something will not give us any idea of when your phone will be made." Or - "we expect that by the end of January we will establish production." So what? Set up and? When will the next batch be released? In one day? month? year? 100 years? Do you understand what I'm trying to explain to you? Emails from fxtec carry absolutely no useful information. It would be useful for me to find out, for example, when My batch will start to be produced, or that people usually wait 6-8 months after ordering, or at least something that will give me at least a rough estimate of the time I wait.
      Today I will write a letter to "PLANET COMPUTERS" I will ask when they can deliver me their COSMO if I am satisfied with the deadline, I will place an order. I will laugh for a long time with tears in my eyes if the COSMO that I order today comes to me faster than pro1, which I ordered 4 months ago. But if I’m not mistaken, their factories are also located in China ...

    1 - again next week and given our big backlog, we expect that everything
    Pre-order to receive your devices until the end of January.

    2- Another batch of devices left the factory on Wednesday
    and breaks through the F (x) tec logistics network over the next week. we
    working with the factory on how quickly they can get the remaining pre-order devices
    collected and ready, updates will come either through us directly or with a change in status to
    your turn.

    3 - do not want to overestimate once
    therefore, again, our official statement on the delivery of your order by the end of January in accordance with the director’s detailed update


    4 - We will be in touch with our
    factories run daily to ensure that we are up to date with any updates / progress
    done next week.

    5 - and we can resume delivery as soon as
    a week.
    We are struggling to survive this difficult time as fast and thoroughly as we
    may and will continue to send out regular updates to keep you posted.

    6 - and we hope that we can continue production and shipment
    all remaining customer orders from next week.


    7 -, we can continue the production of all the rest
    devices next week. We understand that this may not be the news that you were
    hoping, but the current situation is completely beyond our control.


    Do not you think that the phrase "next week" will be lousy as a mockery.

    Another such letter and I withdraw my order.

    Does anyone still make keyboards like on the bottom left of this photo?

    I still think my ideal phone would be a re-hash of the N950.

    yes! n950 - its the best of the phones. 

    And it looks like he will remain so, as I’m already tired of waiting for my pro1 ... After 2 weeks, it will be like 3 months of waiting ... This is sad ...

    Any updates on desktop OS's?

    Yes. It's a generic ubuntu 18.04 image apart from low-level integration into sailfish (or lack of) like host system sound mixer / power manager and input methods.

    Available gcc version is 8.3.0.

    Thank you! If you have the time and desire, could you build some large application on the phone, for example, QT library version 5. Or at least show the output of the "configure" script. I ask this because in my chroot (in nokia n950, debian squeeze) I had to edit the source code of the QT libraries so that the assembly was successful. There were also some problems with binutils and with some other libraries. I wonder how much time I have to "work with a file" on my PRO1 so that he could fully build any programs. It took me almost a year to set up the n950, in order to bring my
    phone to the "portable IDE".
     I apologize for my English, this is a Google translator. Thanks.

    What he was very politely hinting at, to which I, personally, am less inclined, is that if you don't come up with a better answer on "how else to explain it" yourself, you're either suffering from a severe lack of imagination, or you're absolutely intent on throwing mud at Fxtec even though you damn well know that there are more possible explanations. 

    My imagination is better than patience. I am a software and hardwear engineer. Also a co-founder of a small company that produces equipment for aviation. Believe me, no one would ever contact my company if I had promised one delivery time, but I would have done another time. This is not serious. And do not forget gentlemen, while we are waiting here, our phone is "aging" snapdragon 835 - a chip that is almost 3 years old. I do not want to water anyone with dirt, I sincerely hoped to get my device in 4-6 weeks.
