The 6" screen on the F(x)tec Pro 1 is of course great for reading content, but the keyboard is so large, I will need to try before buy.
and paying 650 for a device i am almost sure is too big to use properly just because 'there is a chance' would be plain stupid.
or can we expect a full refund if the device turns out unusable?

The screens don't forbid it, the drivers / the operating systems do.

Like FOSS is fantastic because everyone "can" find and fix bugs.
I don't care about some mythical "cans". What good is a treasure at the end of the rainbow? You can't build a house with a "potential" of a brick. You need the actual bricks.

But what are you going to do with a resistive screen and a stylus on Android, Sailfish, iOS, or what have you? You don't just need a new car with a new engine, you need a different vehicle altogether.

Go find a Kyocera duraforce pro 2 if you want a phone with similar dimensions to feel. That's the size you're working with
