disappointed as the communication has been poor, and the out of box experience is the least important thing to me personally
If they delay again a few days before people are expecting a release, with the same lack of communication, it would be a very unprofessional look
Still looking forward to the phone however

For the record (I didn't include the links to some review from IFA, I'm pretty sure you guys can find them if need be):
Hello,
Thank you for your continued patience, we understand that you are eagerly waiting for your Pro1 and as promised we wanted to share with you a few updates on the Pro1 and recent progress.
Factory latest
We have had delays in obtaining the final licences needed for the best ‘out of box’ experience and this delay has been further compounded by our factory closing next week for the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival.
Production has started and we are eager to start shipping; but until we are fully satisfied with the best ‘out of box’ experience we will not ship until this has been resolved. We appreciate that this may be disappointing, but quality is our number one objective and we are now not likely to ship the pre-orders until early October.
In the meantime, we wanted to share a few sneak peaks from the production line
IFA Berlin 2019
On a better note, we attended the annual Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin (IFA), which is one of the most established consumer electronics exhibitions attended. Today it is one of world's leading trade shows for consumer electronics and home appliances. We had the chance to show off Pro1 to the media. Culminating in the Pro1 winning the ‘Innovation’ Award.
You may have already seen the very positive articles we received from the show already, if not please take a look at some of the press articles that we are featured in.
Expect regular updates from us via email and social on the progress of Pro1 production.
Have a great weekend.
Adrian and Chen
Founders, F(x)tec

Interesting development. I was waiting to see how the first batch turned out before taking a dive and buying one. In particular, was hoping to see how successful folks were in porting a standard linux distribution so I had a mini pc.

Holy **** that Unihertz Titan looks cool too, it's like the Toughbook of hwkb phones: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...rty-smartphone
However, having a smartphone with a physical keyboard which is IP67 is pretty cool.

With the current exchange rate it's just 13€ extra, so about 15$.
As an example, you can buy the low capacity iPhone 11 pro for 1250€ in germany (1375$), but in Greece that is still EU it costs about 1340€ (1475$).
I mean, just 10€ difference in price between counties sounds like a dream in my book, not something to complain about!

You have seen the Pro1, held it in your hands and then... canceled the order if it is a little late?
