[Pro¹ X – state of production and delivery]

Ever the optimistic outlook.  I suppose I'll just sit back and hope, and enjoy some of this cherry flavored beverage.

[Time to take action - US-carrier whitelisting (Verizon and AT&T)]

I'm up for joining in the effort, but like Fullmetaljacket223, I have no idea where one would start with such an effort.  I currently use Verizon and if I could add some non-major manufacturer phones I'd probably add a couple lines to my account.

Good lord there is no hope here for the promised “February” shipment for the pro 1 x. Thank you for your input and time 

Eh, after waiting two years for the first one to come around we've set our expectations low.  Pessimists are rarely disappointed when they're wrong. 😉

[Pro¹ X – state of production and delivery]

Yeah, the IGG crowd seemed to be getting really hot last night.  Not that they made the deadline anyway, but it probably should've been considered that IGG is on Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8).  Regardless, we'll see if there are any repercussions for "missing the deadline" for their monthly update. 

I might be too used to setting my expectations really low.

Long story short: it appears to work with some fiddling.

Yeah.. I do miss that about my droid 4.

[What has been delivered? When is it my turn?]

This product release has been marred by all sorts of issues.  First I agree the delivery time on the website is quite deceptive. 

 

I ordered mid-March of 2020 and after some messaging through the contact form on the website asking for them to narrow down the delivery time from "the future" to anything else, they gave me a range of Jan 2021 to March 2021, and honestly, that's good enough for me.  That might not even be accurate but in all honesty I don't mind.  I got over the anger phase of it being late a while back.  And I figure no amount of bellyaching will speed it up. 

 

So I'm just going to wait patiently because I figure that's all I can do at the moment and still get the outcome of getting the phone.

 

[On the pre-production status]

In my mind, the best way to keep people from losing faith in the product when there are production delays is to be up front about the delays and keep the communication flowing.  People can easily get antsy and impatient if all they hear is silence.

  It is the same concept behind hold music and the message that plays assuring the person on hold that their call is important.  In this case it is hearing silence about a product that they likely have already been billed for.

In all honesty, we would like to hear something from you guys at least weekly on the forum here.  Even if there is nothing new to report, just tell us that you saw a darn good looking person in the mirror this morning. 

A note on the website about delays in production due to the Covid-19 disease should probably be considered as well.
