I mean if it can pull 3A (or more) the 15W(+) would make it quick charging though not Quick Charging. Is is slightly odd that a device offering as much as 87W PD does not also support QC 3.0 - but it could be license issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't really take attention of current but as far as I remember well, it was about 1.8 A. However, QC and PD technology is not the same protocol, so it may happen it really supports only PD.

FlyingAntero 825 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Chen said on Twitter that the small batch (I suppose) should arrive to F(x)tec office in the 1st week of January. So customers could expect to receive their unit next week. https://mobile.twitter.com/chenliangchen/status/1210519379827404800 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

epninety 87 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 My guess is that the batch is so small that UPS lost it down the back of the sofa over the holidays. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ttodd 23 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 On the 11th Dec I requested a refund, after a number repeat requests, my money was eventually refunded 14 days later - one day before the bank said they would start a recovery procedure! ...So one of you lucky people may get a phone ahead of schedule 😉 If F(x)tec survives this farce, I may see you when the product goes retail and has a hard case.

Too many missed hopes & promises; as per another thread I've now been refunded. The last straw, for me I'm afraid, was selling to resellers. Then seriously expecting us to believe they could massively scale up to complete ALL pre-orders in a matter of weeks, over the world's biggest holiday period, when they've taken months to produce perhaps only a few hundred so far. So I will wait to see if & when Clove are restocked, & then decide if this long over due handset is worth it anymore.... 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
epninety 87 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I find it perfectly believable. All it says is that is what they AIM to do. I AIM to lose weight, stop drinking and generally be a less cynical b*****d in 2020. The evidence of my last n decades on the planet is that this isn't going to happen either. 2 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hook 2,907 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I tend to think Chen wouldn't have put this out there on his personal twitter unless he was very sure. But, sure, no one knows. There have been a flurry of TNs this morning, as promised, probably the small batch Erik referred to. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was meant to arrive today, but our staff availability is limited in the UK right now. No stock assignment letters for this one, as we are shipping them a little differently to avoid extra delays. Some of you will have tracking info on Friday. The big batch which should make a lot of you happy is expected to leave the factory in the 1st week of January, which is also when we expect you’ll have the tracking details. We would like to thank everyone for their patience. Merry Christmas from me! Erik According to Erik update, the big batch is supposed to leave the factory by end of this week. Also the tracking details. In 3 days we will know if the latest adjusted plan is implemented ... or if there is another delay. Yes it is the usual fxtec communication, a bit confusing. Chen is writing tweets about "all pre orders" in 2-3 weeks. Erik on this forum about the next big batch. And the retailer digitec.ch is selling 6 qwertz to be delivered in 7 days. I am laughing about it now... Edited January 2, 2020 by Guest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michael.bosscha 142 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I find it interesting that all handsets which are available through retailers are QWERTZ sets. Why no QWERTY's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

michael.bosscha 142 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Ah. I was not aware of the Clove offering. I think I should have phrased it "which *were* available through retailers"... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think of many more retailers are currently exists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Information from support would seem to indicate that the "big batch" is QWERTZ devices going to the UK. But the wording was oddly phrased, so it isn't clear if it just happens to have a lot of QWERTZ devices, but also QWERTY, and whether it is only going to the UK, or also to other parts of the world.
