Stucadoor2 31 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Did you order on the fxtec website, indigogo or expansys? There's a big difference between the first 2 and expansys in actually receiving your phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is this with authorization? Take a look at the last couple of pages of the Production and Delivery thread. We don't know as even the latest update doesn't address it. We do know, from Discord 1)They know about it 2)They have explicitly said the will honor the warranty on the Expansys devices. The silence may have to do with the close hold discussions of the shipping contract, but I don't buy the conspiracy theory that Expansys HK is stealing our phones during the negotiations. Expansys has been around a long time and is a reputable company. More likely, I think, they bought stock which they are free to ship out on their own. The lowered price may simply their evaluation of it as a low specced phone and selling it closer to what they paid, but high enough to make a profit. But all this is wild speculation until we hear otherwise. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are aware of Expansys selling Pro1-X's on their website and we understand there's a lot of concerns and theories about the nature of these listings. We'll post a follow-up announcement to address this. But rest assured, all IGG and website orders are not compromised! 2 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen some crazy things posted on this forum and this is right up there. Why did you chose to pay twice as much to wait indefinitely? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So not so much decided to wait as thinking there was no choice, that's not so crazy. At least you didn't back one on IGG so you can cancel when you get tired of waiting, unlike most of us!

At least you didn't back one on IGG so you can cancel when you get tired of waiting, unlike most of us! Exactly. Informed that my phone was scheduled to go offline on 1 Jan with Verizon (even though I like it just fine), I did a lot of research to find out why my 4GLTE phone would not work, even for data or hot spot. So I finally had to conclude it will probably die and become a brick on 1 Jan. Then I looked for modern physical keyboard phones. Then I researched which networks they work on. The carriers still claim to not support them. So further research, I decided the 5 row Qwerty keyboard of the PRO1 is the best option for my needs. With the tech features, there is no tech reason it could not be made to work on a network. So then I searched how to buy the Pro1, and will put it on whatever network will recognize it. In addition I went to EBAY which had sold some of the phones recently for ~ what they cost new from the manufacturer, but there are none presently listed. Same w amazon. So these other vendors did not even show up on my searches, and I ordered from the manufacturer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also ordered from the FXTec website on 19 februari 2020, after waiting 2,5 years I decided to order one from expansys (with the intention to cancel my order and ask for a refund). Today it arrived and it does work perfectly as I am responding to you using my Pro1x. I'm not canceling my order (yet) because I would like to have another one just in case, like I did back in the days with my Nokia E-7 (still having all 4 of them, 2 in parts and 2 not charging). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
