When I first learned of FxTec's upcoming QWERTY phone in mid-2020, there was a contract for T-Mobile to carry it within the US. That must have fallen by the wayside since the chipset issue and multiple manufacturing delays (finally ordered mine in Dec. 2020...still waiting). I have had T-mobile for over 12 years. I would have to agree that the coverage has traditionally been terrible outside of urban areas, but since T-mobile merged with and took over Sprint (which had CDMA frequency band and the earliest 5G coverage) I do think T-Mobile's coverage has greatly improved. They have also updated their network to 5G in a large overhaul (that left some older devices unable to connect) as of January 2021. I vote for T-mobile. Friendly policies, good pricing, no surprise fees for exceeding data allowances.

I emailed asking for an update on February 1, 2022 (last one was 12/1/21). I got an auto-reply that my message was received on Feb. 2, but no status update as of yet.

I ordered in December 2020 and upgraded to the FX-1 with more RAM, etc. when the "discontinued chipset" news went out in March or April 2021. The last status update I saw was December 1, 2021-- can someone send a link if there is a more recent update? Thanks,

To TechEthnu1-- Thanks for your post. Yes, Fx(tec), we are all waiting for our phones (11 months for me). Specifically I would like confirmation sent to my email when my device is shipped, with tracking (as mine will be sent to the USA). Can we expect that? I did get a response on 25 October that the "November shipping date" was on track-- so some of us at least should be getting notifications within the next few days-- right?
Thank you for responding, but I was not happy that aside from that one-liner of substance, I was referred to the Indiegogo site for "updates" which turned out to be no more than an outdated media article about features, with no information about release dates. I don't have or want an Indiegogo account. I ordered my phone from Fxtec.com, and my account is with fxtec. Unless you have entirely sold out to Indiegogo and are not longer operating, I would like to have notifications and updates from fxtec. These were happening monthly, but stopped in the spring or summer of 2021. If you think Indiegogo is taking care of things, they are not. It is the 11th hour, and time for some updated news to all accountholders who are still waiting for their phones. Thanks

Forgot to mention that I have never had any problem with a device not being supported on T-mobile, including several unlocked phones bought on Amazon; no-name imported brands, and a cute 6-inch Sony(?) Phablet that ran on a Windows OS (that one was the worst--no apps).
