Either there where ~4800 pre pre orders F(x) already gathered upfront, or we relatively securely guess ~3800 currently.

Has anyone checked if 4800 is a lucky number in china I know the 8 is. Only guessing from personal experience though. (Behold, another sushi OT) 2014 i did a take-away-sushi trial phase with a local (chinese native) wholeseller, he started order numbers for all new products at 888.

For F(x) it is still a volume > 2.4 mil.$ before taxes at minimum assumption. Minus guessed taxes ~20% they got more than 1.9mil to work with if everyone keeps the preorder promise.
Wonder what the profit margins are like on this device. Assuming they're making at least 300 per device that's easily over 1 million in profit. I just hope they're successful. I want the qwerty phone to come back and stay that way. Been so many years and it would suck to only have this one device and then die out again
