Kyle927edward 1 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Has anyone else ordered a pro1x here? With the company seeming to be hit or miss with contact it seems a bit sketchy to order from them. Please change my mind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brunoais 317 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) They are terrible with public relations. They seem to be quite afraid to give realistic or controversial information... Which is going against them, in this case. However, they are pushing for the correct thing. The Pro¹ is a real phone which real people have. Images of Pro¹X are realistic and I believe they are real of a real thing to come. They are terrible (over-positive?) at time predictions but they deliver. Pro¹ had those issues two for the ones delivered. They are unable to have priority due to how low volumes they sell compared to companies that order by the millions or billions at a time. Even then! The Motox keyboard addon (previous crowdfunding) was successfully refunded to whoever asked. The competition is too fierce given what they have to deal with. Is this enough?

valyo_bg 17 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Hello, my order here is from April 2021. Hopefully will receive phone soon, 1 year waiting is too much ... During this time UK left EU, so I don't know if additional taxes will be charged when/if phone is delivered to Bulgaria ... I'm not optimist that delivery will be at February (it still not produced and finished), maybe March or April in best scenario.

Rob. S. 1,634 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 September 2019, here (I probably was one of the very few original orderers who couldn't be served anymore off the last batch of the Pro¹) – plus an IGG order from October 2020. Just to put things in perspective 😉 Having found a pre-owned device in the meantime, I can of course be a bit more relaxed than others as to when those devices will finally be delivered. Reading F(x)tec's latest progress update, I would guess it will not be before March, more probably April. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kyle927edward 1 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Good lord there is no hope here for the promised “February” shipment for the pro 1 x. Thank you for your input and time Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for your input and time Eh, after waiting two years for the first one to come around we've set our expectations low. Pessimists are rarely disappointed when they're wrong. 😉 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kyle927edward 1 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Fair enough. I was under the impression that ordering the device would be a quick turn around and it would ship this month. Apparently not haha thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack T. Chance 7 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 So, the question now is, must we pre-order the Pro1 X? Can't we just order the original Pro1 that they already made? 🤔 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wyndy Rausenberger 1 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I ordered in December 2020 and upgraded to the FX-1 with more RAM, etc. when the "discontinued chipset" news went out in March or April 2021. The last status update I saw was December 1, 2021-- can someone send a link if there is a more recent update? Thanks, --Wyndy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VaZso 1,997 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 24 minutes ago, Jack T. Chance said: Lame. 😒 This is because Pro1's SoC (SDM835) became unavailable for F(x)tec. They had promise of SDM835 for Pro1-X manufacturing but it was sold to someone else and Pro1-X had to be redesigned which caused an additional but huge delay as they had to redesign the phone, re-test everything and build up software environment for its new SoC... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kyle927edward 1 Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Would have liked to know that I was just sending 900$ to some company for the hopes of getting what was in the pictures…. Shoot. At least I’m not alone! Ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
valyo_bg 17 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I just receive mail from fxtec that they work to make delivery this month. Also point me to indiegogo site for more information, maybe soon we will have news: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pro1-x-smartphone-functionality-choice-control#/updates/all 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DamianT 0 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I want a fxtec Pro1X, the only issue would be the not so big battery of it. But what I see that they don't keep promises throws me off a little too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even the hugest players have problems getting components for their goods, so no big surprise that it goes for a tiny player too... If they are guilty of anything here, it is being over optimistic in these harsh times. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, that is true and the more complex a product is, the more it is affected by this problem. Also including regulatory certifications only apply for unmodified electronics, it is not allowed to continuously changing components depending on their availability and these certifications are expensive processes... 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
