agent008 243 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 34 minutes ago, Rob. S. said: The operation is definitely much more active than it was until recently. In response to my recent support request, I got a reply today that the USB module and display unit were available (£30 + £149 + shipping), and our dialogue went on to determine the shipping cost via FedEx, and the package is already 'in transit'! I guess I'll wait for the Pro1X to arrive, though, before I undertake the adventure of dismantling the old Pro1... I second that, I've been corresponding with tech support in order to see if my Pro1's no-keyboard and no-touch issue can be solved, and the rep at support has been quick to reply and also stated they have the USB board and display on stock. 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just mean things such as: Quote We got our previous delivery date canceled out of our control. We are requesting a new one Quote We got another date scheduled for XX/07/22. Hopefully this one will be the one Quote The phones are at X place. Cancelled flight(s) lead to the loss of our shipping window. We are waiting for a new shipping window. We were told we'd receive news this week about when the phones can be shipped. Quote We were given a new shipping window for friday (tomorrow). Quote Airplanes were grounded, so we lost our shipping window. Now priority packages who paid premium are being given priority. We are waiting to receive our shipping window announcement. No need to blame any of their partners, just blame "unblamable" entities (such as the Chinese state, weather, etc...). However, keep us updated, even if making a new twitter account just for those small updates in order not to clog the marketing twitter. Or make a twitter thread giving these kinds of updates. Limit to state the facts, no need to tell who's to blame except if it's an "unblamable" entity. Is that also unrealistic or bridge breaker? Anyway, I would be very happy with these information - also that was one of the reasons why I have placed another perk at IGG which has later disappeared from campaign page, called "Enthusiast Perk". It's description: Quote Be part of the Enthusiast community with F(x)tec and XDA. All backers get a digital appreciation pack and knowledge they you are supporting an important movement for freedom and choice in smartphones of today, You will also get access to all discussions and project updates. *This perk does not include a Pro1 X. However, others would be disappointed reading such information and would start complaining more and more. See IGG page comments section. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glad to see there is an option, if they were more alternate OS friendly I'd have bought a Unihertz long ago. What are you planning to run on the slim? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EvilDNA127 39 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Seeing as now it's well past what most people would consider the end of the day in China, I suppose we're punting until next week again.

What are you planning to run on the slim? Personally nothing.... Bought it out of curiosity as I did with the Titan pocket, that have been on my desktop since I got it - still with protective plastic on the display, and the only thing I have done with it are the Google wizard restore and numerous later updates of the apps. Except once where I used the GPS in a walk around the border of my lawn, to compare the accuracy with the reception from my Automower.... The GPS of the titan is much better in getting an accurate position than both my Pro1 with stock android and the Automower 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right, in the meantime, I got a pre-owned one, which is hardly usable anymore due to several defects, though, and so I'm still eagerly awaiting the originally ordered device. If the sending of the first batches back in 2020 is any benchmark, we should expect a few more short delays to be on the safe side, but at this point I'm confident we'll eventually get our phones. Just don't expect them tomorrow morning. Or, at this point, this week... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FxTec had to rediesign the whole inner works after they had taken the pledges and was swindled. UniHertz started their design phase one-two months before FxTec started their redesign. Also remember that all the major inner components of the Slim and their Pocket are identical, so software and most likely almost(?) all drivers from the Pocket could be reused, so little software development (if any?). Just like the Pro1X was supposed to be versus the Pro1 before the swindle. But indeed impressive that Uniherz is over a month month ahead of their scheduled shipping in September. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,459 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Oh and comparing time frames: The Planet computers Astroglide that started in March 2020 (That is seven months before the Pro1X), should have produced 2000 units and "and will be sent to the warehouse in Hong Kong soon.", so I guess they have encountered similar problems as the rest of the industry. Only making it more impressive that the Slim has been sent out. I wonder if it made a difference in getting what they needed that both FxTex and Planet are British companies, where I believe UniHertz is based in Hong Kong. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brunoais 334 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) According to information I was given from f(x)tec, shipping of batch 1 is scheduled for today and tomorrow (HK local time).

VaZso 1,998 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 They have just shared an additional update containing shepping info here: Quote by FX Technology Jul 26, 2022 • 11:34AM 17 minutes ago Pro1-X Shipping Update - July Dear Pro1-X backers: Firstly, we are incredibly proud of how far we have come since launching the Pro1-X on Indiegogo back in 2020. We have received a tremendous amount of support, so thank you for being so patient with us! Those of you that have been following our progress over the last 18 months, know that this has undoubtedly not been the smoothest sailing of journeys. Yes, we have faced a number of challenges along the way, which have (unfortunately) resulted in a delay to the mass manufacturing and shipping dates that we had originally planned for. However, we have come out the other side and are now ready to start shipping devices out to you all. Here are the latest shipping updates! Pro1-X mass shipping has officially begun! Shipping information: Batch 1 customers - you should now have started to receive tracking details via email. Please keep an eye out for any emails or calls from Fedex - they may contact you requesting more information for customs clearance. If you need any help / an invoice, please email info@fxtec.com. Batch 2 customers - your Pro1-Xs will ship in August. More information and updates will be sent around in due course. Once again, thank you so much for your continued patience and support. We are so excited to be shipping to all of our wonderful Indiegogo backers finally and can not wait to start seeing you all using your Pro1-X’s. Don't forget to share your Pro1-X pics with us as they start to arrive, and tag us (@thefxtec) so that we can see! If you have any questions about your order, or shipping queries please contact us via (cenzored email address). Team Fxtec 🙂 2 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well interesting question but as discussed on IGG also, we do not know. My GUESS would be that the remaining Pro1 is in Batch1 as well as the first orders and perks. But it MIGHT not be as simple as a number-split 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
