Fellfrosch, can you tell if the modifier keys are sticky on SFOS? Also, if the phone is in sleep mode, can you wake it up by (1) opening the keyboard and/or (2) pressing a key if keyboard is already open?

Thanks for your update, and it's obviously not your fault but that's hilariously terrible. When it comes to businesses they can uphold promises, but when it comes to their own customers that might've been loyal for years now they just keep promising it's only a couple of weeks away, week upon week upon week...

Why do those businesses get priority? Why should the customers of those businesses get them earlier then direct pre-orderers? Why should I have pre-ordered if it didn't mean anything? What did me paying mean if it didn't mean to get the device earlier?

While I have been generally more amused of complaints about delayed deliveries here than anything else, I do greatly agree with Shirabe here.

If the case really is that retailers get priorized over over individual pre-order customers in business case like Fxtech, who communicates outside the importance of community and enthuastist, even I find annoying. Of course Clove tech might be pre-orderers or investors themselves. Or FxTech might just bee in great need of cash and has to prioritize new revenue sources. In those cases I understant.

This might be my first scrach or pump with them. Well, you never know what happens with startups and pre-orders

No, not backing the Moto keyboard mod. I did originally sign up for updates when the Pro1 project launched, but after being the victim of a couple of failed crowd funding projects I wanted to wait until the device was actually in production before ordering.
Finally ordered via Clove in November. Wasn't actually too hopeful for delivery before Christmas as I was aware of the pre-orders.

Frustration is understandable. I wasn't expecting delivery before Christmas, in fact I was believing more like late Jan-Feb/March as I was aware there had been an issue with the screen on earlier models and that there were pre-orders to get through.
Hope your wait isn't too long.

This sounds like a goddamn joke. I pre-ordered my Pro1 directly from F(x)tec, paid for it in August, haven't received it yet. What's the point of pre-orders if you proritize retailers anyway?


/edit: I wasn't aware of how small the retailers stock was, so this opinion is probably too harsh
