    I mean, what types of users here would like to buy a device like this, or any similar device.
    I'm just curious, cause here most users don't like modern devices and this is a 2-3 year old (spec wise) relatively modern device.
    Is it just the keyboard? Or people getting ready to move on from our beloved dead platforms?
    Again, this is pure curiosity and something I would really like to discuss without trolling and disrespect!
    I am very interested but two things keeps me away from buying it:
    1) too high price, 300-350€ could be my target price (normally I don't spend more than 200€ for a smartphone and I've added 100-150€ for the design and the physical keyboard in my max budget)
    2) 835 snapdragon, my next smartphone will be at least 855

    No rush in getting a new smartphone btw

    I am personally in this for supporting brave individuals or companies that dare to go against the mainstream.

    I have big problems with Apples business model. On the side of Android devices I just dont like how generic they have became, basically indistinguishable from each others.

    Hwkb is not that big a must for me, but it is really nice to have. I weren't never biggest fan of n900, for me personally the greatest device to date have been n9 and n950.

    Edit:

    Oh, and from aesthetic view scirrocco and luna were the most beautiful phones

    and in southeast asia they call march, april, may and june summer... and in australia its december, januari and februari... your point?

    in most places people use the astronomical seasons, so summer starts at the summer solstice and ends at the autumn equinox... this is not secret information or anything, you can look it up.

    I'm just curious, cause here most users don't like modern devices with android and this is a 2-3 year old (spec wise) relatively modern device. OS wise, sure, they have some other options here like many other devices, but ships with android if I'm correct.
    So, is it just the keyboard? Or people getting ready to move on from our beloved dead platforms to something else?
    Again, this is pure curiosity and something I would really like to discuss without trolling and disrespect!

    Apart from SoC which really is 2 years old, what else is?????
    Sure, it does miss all the modern useless gimmick but it offers something unique for half the price of note 10+.

    For Q4 2019 and the price, I would say almost everything is more than 2 years old. Also "gimmick" is something that you don't know about or you don't use. If you use it, it's a feature and the whole point of smartphones today is to make your life simple!
    But that wasn't my point. I'm not trying to bash the device. I just want to be subjective, even with things that work for me!
    But if you want to have this conversation, completely unrelated to my post above, sure why not?

    I have some skin problems (psoriasis) which even when I'm cured, my fingers does not work well with capacitive screens.

    Nobody is excluded here because they don't have money to throw around. Every device relevant here could be bought for less than 50€ at some point. Except never officially released prototypes. And everybody can contribute.

    If you decide to help out, e.g. with Maemo Leste, you may even get a device for free by a member. We help each other out here and aren't here to feel superior because we can afford expensive prices.


    As for nikos523's question:
    I am very interested in the device. I am waiting for a very long time for a device with certain characteristics and haven't bought a new smartphone since 2015 (used 808) As I know how difficult it is to develop a mobile device from scratch I am willing to pay a reasonable high price, which 650€ is.

    My next phone has to have:
    Keyboard, unlocked bootloader, at least 2GB of RAM, decent battery, headphone jack, LTE, reasonable fast prozessor
    And it should have:
    OLED, screen between 4 and 5 inch, very good camera, support from a Linux based system (Sailfish, Leste, ...), MicroSD slot
    And of course there are nice-to-haves:
    IR transmitter, FM radio, shutter button, good microphone, Dual SIM, good flash, capable GPU, ...

    The Fxtec Pro 1 checks all of the must haves and even some nice-to-haves, but misses many of the should haves. (Screen size, camera, Linux). As it is the closest thing to what I want over so many years I may still get it out of desperation, but I will wait a bit before I do so. I hope I can test it with a community member here when the devices have shipped.

I bet if someone would make a modern smartphone in N93i design, it would be very great.
    Do you mean something like this ?
