DC 2 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Is there a new model being designed? Is there another batch of phones due soon? When are we likely to see a new or updated handset, or other new tech? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
guest274577 7 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 They (Fxtec) are currently so broke they cant even afford to ship IGG perks and/or website orders, despite backers paying 40$(!) flat rate shipping on top of the price they paid for their perk(s). So the answer ought to be something along the lines of "No, No, Never". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You are missing the part that they had to make a new phone when they didn't even want to. You also are missing the part that each phone is essentially costing twice because f(x)tec paid for SoCs which they never got. They are still waiting for litigation in China courts. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where has this been communicated in an official fxtec channel? All I can see is that the SoC was not available. Chocker, seeing as fxtec new the SoC was going EOL. This, fxtec must have known ahead of time. There is also the tiny detail that this doesnt change the fact that they are broke. If they are not, then I am awaiting the shipping notification tomorrow, along with the IGG update letting us know they will stand by their original word that they will pay import taxes for all EU customers. This changed with brexit, but was obviously also something fxtec knew a LONG time ahead of it happening, still they could not care to enlighten their "beloved backers" before it was too late.

This was more in "behind the scenes" and picking up the data, including the lawsuit in China. 21 hours ago, guest274577 said: This, fxtec must have known ahead of time. If you buy, order and pay for something, you'd never expect the order to not be delivered, don't you think? And even if not fulfilled, you wouldn't expect to not get the money back, don't you think? They knew the SoC was EOL, that's why they ordered the batch with enough time in advance to make sure the stock existed. 21 hours ago, guest274577 said: There is also the tiny detail that this doesnt change the fact that they are broke. They are low on cash but they are not broke at this moment. 21 hours ago, guest274577 said: will pay import taxes for all EU customers No longer allowed by EU law. 21 hours ago, guest274577 said: This changed with brexit, but was obviously also something fxtec knew a LONG time ahead of it happening Pro¹-X was supposed to be fully delivered by May 2021. 3 months before the new laws came to be. Those new laws only came public in January. The campaign ended in December 2020. Are you sure you know what you are writing? 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There was an extensive explanation posted on IGG about the SoC change when it happened. There's definetely a lot more story than just "not available". The previous design house cheated us and took our money, plain and simple. But we made the most out of the rest of the money we had left, and for sure, our other venture Linxdot helped funded this project.

I find it slightly hilarious that you are going to cover import taxes for website orders, that are actually paying customers, and should by all means expect import taxes, and that were never told they would not need to pay import taxes... And the ones that were told they would not need to, despite brexit, and that did not buy a device, but supposedly receive their perks as a token of thanks for investing in the company, will have to pay.
