Good to know. 2 hours ago, FlyingAntero said: I was just trying to discuss how well F(x)tec has done in business manner? In a business manner - Pro1 is like the milestone for the company, they made new business contacts and from now they can negotiate new contracts with bigger quantities which are a bit more prioritized. Now it will be rolling like snowball, if they will be able to find new customers and we will be able to change the phone every 2-3 generations 🙄 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flo 22 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Also it would be nice to have the choice of a black screen for the normal version instead of the blue one 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully we will get there. Is the current tech bundle worth it for pro 1 owner? Do they sell the whole upper part (not only the replacement screen)? Will replacement screen not be available in the future? What about battery: is it worth to already purchase a replacement one now? How long can these replacement parts be stored? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The screen kit looks like to be full assembly with the frame but I think that it is blue color. USB charging board would have been a good addition. Then I would back it immediately. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,399 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 On this special kit, I would rather have had a kit with Battery + USB PCB + a keyboard foil + Keyboard of the users choice. The screen is (still) really easy to find on-line. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The screen is (still) really easy to find on-line. I want a perk with just the keyboard of choice so I can get two of them at a cheaper price. Spare screen assembly is much nicer than just the panel. I have stocked up two spare panels but I have to say I'm not looking forward to attempting such a repair. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have also stocked up some panels but I had to replace my original panel because of ghost touches. However, my replaced panel (bought at Ali) has some missing curve at one of the corners and that is why I have ordered another displays. When also the last one will arrive, I plan to test them and replace it with a 100% perfect one if there is any, it is not a really hard task anyway. The replacement keyboard is a good idea plus also the battery and USB panel are good ideas. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingAntero 825 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) I have also bought replacement screen panel for 50$ from Aliexpress but I would prefer official screen replacement assembly with frame if the price is not too high. Previously you have been able to buy screen replacement assembly from F(x)tec (if they have stock) for 150£ (or ~200$). F(x)tec is now offering special kit with battery for the same price. However, I still think that the price is too much since you can buy the screen panel elsewhere. With the USB charging board the kit would be much more attractive. I would like replacement keyboard also but I think that it could affect to the Pro1-X sales. The only reason why I have backed Pro1-X is the Scandinavian keyboard layout. I don't need 8Gb RAM or 256Gb storage. It just was the cheapest option for me during backing at Indiegogo. Edited November 14, 2020 by FlyingAntero 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am still a bit puzzled by this technical bundle offer. I think it should not be considered as an alternative to a repair within reasonable delays during the two years waranty.

I think the Tech Bundle is aimed at non-warranty repairs-- battery reaching EOL and breaking the screen, neither of which would be covered under warranty, not screen repairs for faulty QC or defect, which would be covered under warranty and they would supply the replacement screen. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muth 132 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I finally decided to buy the tech bundle... I could not reasonably get a second pro1, but want to modestly support fxtec. It would be too bad if they sink now. My pro1 is still in perfect shape, but knowing me, having some spare part is a reasonable anticipation ˆˆ. It is true it would be even better if the bundle includes some keyboard parts. I know it is quite robust, but these tactile buttons have a life time. I remember my old blackberry Q10 has the "M" button starting failing after 3 years... Anyway, I let you know how it will going with th bundle. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had mine fly off a desk and slam face down on my floor because my foot was apparently around the USB cable, somehow no damage. I also witnessed @mosen drop his Pro1 nearly a meter down onto pavement gaining a minor scratch on the screen, my heart skipped a beat tho. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It does sound like you could use some spare screens with such habits 😅. I haven't always treated my phones nicely but much like my n900 back when, I'm very careful and gentle with my Pro1 because I like it a lot. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hehehe it's not me that you want then, i'm terrible with small stuff like phones ending up doing stuff like breaking 2 screens to get 1 replaced 😅 Shipping from and to the states would cost a fair bit too.
