Anyone get theirs yet?

[zer0dotexe]

Just wondering if anyone received their device yet. I've been eagerly awaiting some hands-on impressions of the phone to see if it's a worthy successor to my year old Key2. The spec sheet says "hell yes!" but I just want to be sure there's no hidden dealbreaker like sketchy build quality or poor keyboard experience that would ruin an otherwise attractive package before taking the $700 plunge.

At this point, nobody has received a full production model yet. The current statement is that the distribution centers will send out the first phones on or before October 29th 2019. There are three groups, the motomod backers, the pre-orders, and the regular orders. I'm the 150th of the pre-orders and really hope to be in that 10/29/19 shipment group!

It seems that at least 6 people have received emails saying theirs has been shipped. No indication of anyone receiving it yet, other than the people who got prototypes.

On the official F(x)Tec forums people have been posting tracking numbers and such. Looking like Nov 19th is the date!

I'm waiting for this device. Just want to watch some reviews on it by someone who has purchased it. The entire two months of November and December 2019. Nothing! Nothing! At all. I am so frustrated with this company and their transparency.

Clove Technologies

I ordered and received a clack of my very own from Clove Technologies in the UK. I've not started transferring over to that as I'm trying to decide whether to use stock OS or flash LineageOS, but it is online and I'm doing some light mobile web browsing etc. to kick the tires.

Definitely glad I held on and didn't cop out for a ROG Phone II or ZenFone 6 (or was it because both of those were out of stock when I was weak?), the shifted QWERTY keyboard was the right decision IMO as the keyboard is broad for me, and I'm a 6'1" half-German-half-Norwegian somewhere back before the US of A.

Chatting with friends via XMPP hasn't felt this good since the Symbian days. Finally! A device that has some consistency to its input, and a lot of character to boot. Clack is quite enthusiastic in personality, which (aside from their abysmal communication) likely reflects the passion Fxtec put into this device in order to get a smartphone with current guts and a physical keyboard going.

Thank you kind person!

Since my last post I've been learning all I can about the Jolla company and their operating system. More so I plan on getting the Xperia XA2 simply because it's available and can run sailfish os. If I follow the procedures and find the correct zip files online. At least I know the phone will fit the new direction I want to go in even if it does not have a pkb that I'm looking to replace from my keyOne Blk edition

Keep the information coming and thanks for the/any update.

Abysmal = good word usage! ??

Received mine yesterday. While there are a few bugs, I must say that it was well worth the wait.

 

[cucumbers]

Just got mine - a bunch of people are receiving theirs now that the promised "big shipment" finally went out...

 

[kzin42]

So glad I got mine before china shut... So much better than my old D4

 

[ToniCipriani]

Received mine earlier this week. Ordered and paid back in August/September.

 

[XenGi]

Got mine today. Ordered back in October. Trying out stock and lineage now. Not sure If I can get used to the weird keyboard layout (qwerty). Constantly trying to hit a key left of the actual one because the whole keyboard is shifted one key to the right. Also the round edges on the screen are really bad. I don't like it in the first place but with this one I get a lot of accidental touches.
Let's see how I feel about it in 2 weeks.

FxTec Pro 1

Hi XenGI,
I was wondering to buy the FxTec Pro 1. When did you orden your phone from them? How long time did it take, before you had your phone? I have today, the BlackBerry Key2, happy with that phone, but want to try something new. Are you happy with your phone?
Just 1 or 2 week go, BlackBerry announced that the will come with a new phone in the start of 2021.

 

[Antinee]

I got mine October 13th 2020. And, I still cannot root the device. Desktop and laptop don't recognize the device. Yes I have Debugging on, Yes I have unlock OEM in developer mode. I have got to the fx tec and windows 10 website looking for drivers but have found none. so I guess I will continue to wait.

Received one a few months back

I ordered a Pro1 in May, and received a unit in August. I heard there were production issues, and naturally COVID-19 made things exponentially difficult (supply chain issues everywhere, carriers trying to ship things safely, etc.).
With all that said, I'm happy I didn't have the same experience as folks who ordered back in 2019 and are still waiting (??). Hopefully anyone who ordered a Pro1 last year actually have a Pro1 by now...
