Let them talk. They say these things just for someone to say if it's true or false. Let them wait and see for themselves

First of all, I'm really sorry that you didn't have the best experience with TOHKBD.
The problem with key presses is a cause of "not quite perfect" key peg position/length, that presses on the metal dome. Unfortunately for us this silicone part is being made with the injection molding process which is super expensive if you're "trying things out" so each iteration of the design was a *really* heavy hit on our budget, so we've basically made two attempts, trying to figure out the right length with some off-the-shelf trickery and CAD simulations. Unfortunately I've failed to make it perfect due to the lack of funds and, most importantly, experience and I'm the one to blame for all the UX issues, I'm sorry.
When we were figuring out if we would be able to make a Moto Z Mod with our layout it was the first thing on our list to invest in.
But to say that we would rather spend all the money we were trusted with on some perfectionism exercises rather than work with all the limitations considered, but deliver - that type of decision is exactly why people don't trust crowdfunding anymore. I'd rather be an incompetent industrial designer that realises his mistakes and iterates on them than a crook. But that's me.

He's not crazy technically... If the kayboard mod barely made it to production, a phone is a whole different ball game with many hurdles to clear. Postponing by 1 quarter already happened. No updates in over 2 weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if he's right. I hope not, but he might be. don't get your hopes up

I was mostly not talking about an official postphonement but an internal within the project. If that will be officially seen or not is unknown.
But to me it doesn’t matter I can wait if the product will be nice. I’m not looking for a new phone atm anyway.
EDIT: my post doesn’t affect active topics. Awsome

The faster this phone gets out the better. It's losing relevance as we speak. That said qwertys have lost nearly all relevance today anyway. I hope this phone Sparks life into the form factor again

What does anybody think about WebOS/LuneOS? Maybe I'm just stuck in the past, but I haven't given up the notion that it was the best OS to date. I actually bought a Pre 2 and a Veer (again) recently...
