Deadpool hands? Um no, this device is large, there's no getting around that. I'm sure they tried really hard to keep it as compact as possible, but it's not a small or ergonomic based on dimensions. This phone is as large as some phablets and heavier than nearly every other phone on the market. Let's not kid ourselves here, using this device may be difficult for a good amount of people
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

I'll leave it up to the masses on judging if they were successful. Also not sure where you're getting 15.5cm from... Dimensions: 154 x 73.6 x 13.98 mm
If you really think about it, this phone is just a few mm bigger than typical 6 inch screen phones, plus the girth of the keyboard. But there's no getting around how big 6 inch screens are. Even if it's an 18:9 ratio
Chen posted a while back that 6 inch screen was the most cost effective choice, and I believe him on that, but I wish they went a little smaller. Given that this phone has a keyboard, I think they should've downsized the screen to make it more pocket friendly. Like 5.7 or 5.8 inch screen. Still an impressive screen size, but the device would be significantly smaller. I think this device will be unwieldy for a decent amount of people. I'd love to be proven wrong, but it's hard to digest those numbers. To compare, I had to find one of the largest and heaviest phones on the market (Kyocera duraforce Pro 2) to compare this thing to, size wise.
Even my original Pixel feels a hair too big for my taste, and it's a good 10mm shorter, 4mm narrower, and nearly 5mm less thick than the pro1
Staying hopeful...

You're asking if Chen can release the Pro1 earlier, so that you won't be tempted (as much) by Samsung's Galaxy S10?
No insult intended, but I can think of only one reply: lol. Would the S10's temptation be any less if you'd already have the Pro1? If so, why? Also, out of curiosity, what phone do you have now that you need to have the Pro1 (or S10) so badly?
I just find the S10e very attractive because of how compact it is. Packing a 5.8 inch display, it's the same dimensions as the 5.1 inch Galaxy S7. I think that's amazingly compact, but powerful. If the Pro1 wasn't on the horizon, that's the phone I would be aiming to get over the coming months.
I'm currently using an original Google Pixel. Battery is tired, design is terrible, but at least it gets regular updates and has a solid camera. Just that time where i'm looking for a new phone

iirc the S8 screen is 0.19" smaller than the F(x) tech pro 1, with similar bezels, so at least for me, would still be just about usable with one hand.

@ N900: Battery low. N950: torx 4 re-used once and fine; SIM port torn apart

Will see if I end up getting both of them, in the end. I have already pre-ordered Pyra (no, not mobile edition - I don't like mobile chips being soldered to mainboard) [and Neo900, of course - several of them, in fact]. And I hope to see Maemo Leste running on all of them.
Thank you. Best wishes.

And where is Oceania on Pre-order page? I am in Australia. Not in: UK/HK, USA, Europe, Japan and China.
