From what has been said in the previous (and quite possibly only) wave for this last batch, the setting has been set to "all of them": everybody seems to have received the mail around the 43rd minute.

josefkubes 9 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Hi, are you satisfied with Pro 1 camera? And what about camera application? I think, camera app (Snapdragon camera) is terrible. Maybe the worst, what i see in smartphones... It fall, auto flash did not work good, photos are dark sometimes, interior photos have noise. Does Fxtec plan some better app? My 5 years old Lumia 950 produce better photos 😞 And the camera button? Horror... And the back are very susceptible to scratch. After one week I have some on back edge. I other way I am very satisfied, but not with camera... Edited January 21, 2020 by josefkubes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for sharing your experience with automailers. It would be nice to have an 'apology' message indeed. In that way, no doubt would be possible. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fingers crossed that there will be more stock assigned e-mails going out today but I am not amused so far. Pre-ordered early, paid early, but I will most likely get screwed with waiting yet another 1-1,5 month because I am from a small country. Totally fair... Well what matters (as I understand it) is the fraction within each country, so if a large fraction in your country paid even earlier than you, they are the lucky ones. It is a matter of how early it is needed to have paid to be among the first 70% in the country. The fluctuations are larger for countries with few orders, as each order matters more. If in a country with only three orders, the two first will reach close to the 70%, leaving out the third. But this also means that just a single additional order paid after the third would have put the third person in the lucky group, even if the third order was paid quite late. So Large fluctuations (both ways) can be expected in countries with few orders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have one of those reported in this thread yesterday, but I do not know if that was a general mail or a personal answer to a support question. But would be nice if they sent out a mail to the remaining 30%, to clear things up, and not leaving people with a false hope of a missed mail, 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toby Lerone 17 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I got my stock assigned email yesterday - I do hope to get tracking details today like other people have been getting. Samsung S8+ is really starting to slow - but that might be the sim card. What size SIM does the Pro 1 use for its primary I can then get a replacement ready. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Camera2 API is implemented (though not flawless), opening for a range of third party apps, So you can use an app like "Open Camera", but here the HDR is not currently working well (the app does HDR fine elsewhere) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was holding out a tiny sliver of hope that a pre-order from almost 5 months ago wouldn't fall in to the "recent" pre-order category that wouldn't make shipment. On that logic, a ~7 month old pre-order from the end of July is "ancient" and a ~5 month old one is recent 🙂 I was certainly hoping that I would be included as my Priv is becoming a bit unreliable - even with a brand new battery fitted. The only thing that has meant I have kept my pre-order is that the processor on the Cosmo is not much better than the Priv! If it was a newer one I have a feeling I would have long ago switched alliance! But the Cosmo isn't really a phone.....it is, but it's also not. It's a candy bar phone with a small touch screen when it's in the closed position, and it's a UMPC with a great keyboard when it's open on a table, but to type in bed or on the couch...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silversolver 849 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I guess I was right that my very late order is still waiting. 😞 Oh well. Droid 4 still working. I think it would keep working for another 10 years if Veri$on wasn't determined to kill it..... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rubleaj 53 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Just to confirm something about my preorder: I ordered/paid Aug 31 (#34xxx, no coupon, so I know I'm down the line with the order position which is fine). My order says: "$696.89 USD charged at a future date for 1 item" but I definitely already paid. I am assuming the "charged at a future date" doesn't actually mean they haven't received my payment yet? (the Status of the order is "Processing"). Thanks for any help! Edit: Glad to see everyone's says the same haha. I assumed it was just poor wording, but the feedback is appreciated! Edited January 21, 2020 by rubleaj Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah - I get that. But given I'm going to have to give up 1-handed keyboard typing going back to the landscape slider (portrait is so good on the Priv for that) it's not the end of the world for me. I would genuinely love a new Priv - just with latest Android OS & Snapdragon chip (maybe a bit more memory) - but it was searching for news about whether there would be a Key3 that I came across this phone. Will definitely be interesting going back to a landscape slider again since it's been about 8 / 10 years since I've had one. I have to say that I am also seriously considering going away from physical qwerty (again!) if the new RAZR comes along on a good deal to be honest. I know that it will have drawbacks but I do like the form factor and think it looks pretty cool. Edited January 21, 2020 by stavers spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Akun 10 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I won t put too much trust into the annouced 70% of preorder shipped by end of month. What do they really call Pre-Order ? Order made before July 31st ? Order made before 4th Nov (the date of the first batch shipped) All Order until now ? They really never spoke about real numbers. Do we even know how many Pro1 have been shipped so far ? 100, 1000, 10 000 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: I did not intend to have the post here, rather than the meme thread, but it happened and is here now. Don't take this too seriously.
