What I am wondering about is what happens after these "batches" have shipped out, is there a possibility for someone who is not a backer to order one later, maybe next year or whenever?

Will it be possible to buy one thru a webshop or corner store somewhere?

As I stated previously it is quite a big investment to buy one now; but who knows, maybe some year it happens that I'll have enough money to do that.

I would also buy at least some keyboards before they are out of stock if it happens the keys become transparent like on the N900.

As of the time of this (my) post, you have 12 "Thank you"s. Does that equate to £650?

Yes, expect the Pro1 (including minor revisions) to remain for sale ... Unless Fxtec folds, or gets some new 'angle fund' for a Pro2 investment.
Manufacturing the Pro1 was/is no less a big investment. Spreading this investment over as many units as possible is what makes that investment all the more worthwhile.
Don't forget that the Pro1 seems - to me - to be Fxtec's present (and in near future) sole source of income.

Minimum batch sizes are small compared to what they used to be. Keeping the Pro1 for sale thus only demands for a (relatively) small additional investment.

From the buyer's investment point of view.
The Pro1 allows for running (quasi) open-source OSes and is - from what I've read - quality built. The only remaining 'daily' hurdles for a nice long-term investment spread are taking care of our precious one and battery replacement (in service centres?).
Any confirmation of the latter remains appreciated.

Let's become service centres ourselves!
Same question, I thought Pro1 batt was replaceable like on the n900. I must have mixed with the Librem.
But without joke, I think it must be possible.
Less sure about backup battery though.

Chen/Fxtec did highlight that the battery of Pro1 is replaceable, but not so easily that you'd be able to swap batteries during the day, as you can do with N900. Haven't yet heard of available spare parts though, but Fxtec seems to be busy enough fulfilling preorders at the moment.

Regarding Maemo Leste, I am planning to attend FOSDEM this year. If someone can introduce me to founder of Maemo Leste I can leave my unit to him. :-)

Wow, for people doubting Chen's commitment to maemo here he is giving a boost the Leste team with what may turn out to be one of their fastest devices for testing!

Good on you Chen!

Can wait for the fruits of this gesture.

Wouldn't claim to be the founder (I think that would be freemangordon), but I am one of the main devs, and I will be giving a talk at FOSDEM about Maemo Leste: https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/smartphones/ - so FOSDEM might indeed be a good moment to pass that along.

Parazyd will be there too, freemangordon probably won't be, I think?
