But though sleek looking I knew that I would never use them so politely declined. (I use ATH-ANC33iS) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Benni 183 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 158 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

I thought similarly, so I was thinking of buying a Moto Z phone but still wanted to wait for Keyboard Mod... ...but when my N900 has started having flash problems (again as it was not my first N900), I had to buy a replacement phone... although I could manage to use my old N900 with the help of an SD card (it had a 256 MB main flash and 32 GB eMMC, the latter was the source of the problem), so the hardware was already slow enough (especially the limit of 256 MB RAM) which caused me to buy a replacement one... Still I did not want to buy a Z force, instead, I have bought a temporary phone using my company support from the limited selection of service provider models, but that was the reason I have bought Moto G6 as a preparation for a future Motorola - I have used that phone for a bit more than a year. If Keyboard Mod was became a real product, then I would have been bought a Motorola Z force2 by that time... but as the project was shot down, my purchase was also skipped... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would probably have to work with one or more distros like Mobian and/or ManjaroArm. </fantasy off> Pine would probably resist a third party accessory that is better than theirs. 😉 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swond 120 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Don´t know how you feel the situation, but my opinion is clear: Since there is again complete silence from the team. I have no response to my e mail 2 weeks ago, there is no update at indiegogo.... I guess there is a new obstacle in production.. Or anyone knows more? Please tell me that I am wrong. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's always hard to know, but right now they are still within the timeline of their last update. Even if they began SMT the same day they posted (probably not), that would take them out to the 24th and thus manufacturing might be beginning this week. So possible for shipping to start in mid-May as projected. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
