I ordered off of this website - does that include my order? Indiegogo has offers for an extra battery, screen protectors and a case so I am not sure what direction to go in. Any ideas what would be best. I wouldn't hold my breath for the free stuff. OG Pro1 owners were supposed to get a decent case for free (back when pre-orders for that were a thing), they swapped it out for a lame sleeve (was in the box with the phone). The promised free headphones never came. lol Edited April 15, 2022 by Tsunero Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xman1 3 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Mid to late May now? Wow. Really getting tired of waiting. Just got a notification from AT&T that they plan to shut my entire phone off May 4th. I am not sure I can wait anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, until recently, they only had rough predictions on potential shipping times or even less... there were too many uncertainities. Now they are starting to share more information simply because the number of potential uncertainities are highly decreased, so this date is mch more accurate than any earlier dates... not because those dates were already elapsed, but because we see FCC certification went through, they state components are arrived, etc, so it seems it is up to the factory and logistics which will determine the actual shipping date of the phone. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benni 175 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Interesting. I'm also a moto mod backer (Germany) - and wasn't offered headphones (still love my Pro1 though). I assumed they were limited to England. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've ordered my Pro1 in November 2019 and since QWERTZ has been out of stock, I've been "upgraded" to Pro1x. From my perspective, waiting a month or two more makes no difference anymore, but for "normal" Pro1x backers, who are waiting for maybe six months, it's exhausting. I'm used to it now 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
npatel1050 132 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I just noticed fxtec website shows pro1x at 899. Indiegogo has it for 849, and the prices used to be less than that. I still remember when this phone was being advertised on the main website for 649. I know inflation, supply chain, etc. But I'm surprised the price went up so much. Especially when you consider the raw components are at least a few years old now... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The price in IGG is for a bundle that includes not only the Pro1X, but also a spare battery and a spare screen assembly (not just the screen, but the frame it is mounted in). You have to click to expand the perk box to see the list of what's included. Edited April 19, 2022 by Hook 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They don't have to fulfill what you give money for (except if it's outright fraud, ofc). It's investment. You get if it's a success, you get nothing if it's a failure. No regulations on warranty either. As for their website, it's a preorder. You get the thing ou paid or you get the money back. There's mandatory warranty through these means. That's just a starting point on how different it is from each of the methods. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coybot 1 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Any idea if this will work with Google Fi? I was planning on switching from Verizon to GF after receiving the Pro1X. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

US carriers seem to be problematic in general as they do not "know" the Pro1. Similar problems might arise with the Pro1X. I cannot help personally, but there is another thread dedicated to US network acceptance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brand new in a drawer I was SO close to buying one in the Z series several times, having ordered a few of the keyboards, but was so pessimistic that I persuaded myself to wait until I actually had at the least one keyboard mod in my hands - that proved to be a wise decision.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Noob 157 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I still use it as my alarm clock and flashlight (shaking the phone to turn it on is a nice feature). So not a complete waste. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
