.. something tells me you'll still end up buying one by the end of october when they go retail xD.
If the device isn't ready, that's fine. Don't commit to a timeframe and then delay repeatedly. Shows a mismanagement and doesn't look good professionally, to me at least.
I have full confidence they are working hard to get the device out, and will do their best to make sure it's perfect, but as a consumer and early supporter, I don't like being strung along. What's not to say they wont do the same if your device needs to be repaired or if there's a problem with your order?
Just because someone cancels their order now doesn't mean they don't support the company or can't buy later. I think the pre orderers support the company in their endeavors, evidenced by the payment we gave 2 months ago. I just don't support the mismanagement.
All love for the team and their product, I'll wait a little longer but I can't wait forever. I feel like a fool for having waited this long and this purchase is probably more driven by emotion than anything else at this point. But regardless I'll give them a little more time.
All of this also explains why we haven't heard anything from them officially too. If they sent out another email saying there was a delay, it would be really bad press. I would argue keeping us in the dark though is worse. rather they be forthcoming than effectively being lied to.

Personally I don't mind the wait much though, all is fine for me if the phone will be as good as it looks
. Why do people even expect this to be smooth sailing for fxtec? This is pretty much how startups seem to go, and they have quite the ambitious project. They could improve communications, sure, but they're obviously legit and the product is absolutely awesome, why so many complaints?

Fxtec better get a proper PR guy or they're heading the way AMD was going: obscurity.
Can't say I exactly agree with the way they're running things either.

For people who cancels their order: bye bye, you'll not be missed
Others will enjoy their phones with hw keyboard soon (:

Most likely I'll buy this phone at a later point but I can't have my funds tied up here in the meantime.
Hindsight is a beautiful thing and had I known the phone wouldn't come out until this late in the year, I would've probably bought a better phone to keep me going for a while. But alas that's all water under the bridge now. Seriously though my phone spends more time on the charger than off it. It's pretty much gone

I think we all know that forum member, that’s waiting much more for shipping date than any of us Unexpected things happen, specially when you’re doing something for the first time.
I’ve gifted my main Phone to family member in June, and using a backup phone since then. Currently digitizer started to die.. as much as I would love to support this project, if my phone dies before the shipping, I would cancel my order.
EDIT:
It's not a negative post, I trust Chen, and believe that F(x)tec will deliver, but I'm too dependent on my smartphone for work, so I must buy another phone when my phone dies.
