Poor kid, because that's the true. It looks like either you have some problems with English, or you have some psychatric disorders. I can't force you, but if you want, I can put you in touch with the right people.


Actually, it's how it works in many fields. One day you will work and have a better understanding of how the world works. In this subsection, more or less your opinion is the contrary of the reality.
And please, don't blame us for your misunderstanding about the delivery date. Most of us know that none have been given since the begining, there have been only some whishes. Don't mixe up both, it will deserve you in your incoming life.


I hope with your native language, you don't write like this. There is almost no punctuation, you didn't write the required uppercase, and it seems you never learnt how to structure your writings with subsections. This is horrible to read, and actually I didn't even tried : it looks full of nonsenses.
This confort me in my opinion of you : either you don't know how to write English, and you barely understand what you read and write, or you are a psychotic which needs help and this way of writing is your way to say it.


In addition of not being able to communicate with other people, it looks like you don't understand psychatric disorders. At least, you have made quite clear that you didn't make a preorder .
Now please, go play somewhere else and stop bothering the big people kiddo, this you bring you nothing good .

@shaihkritzer you did not pre-order so please stop talking. As a pre-order'er from Feb I have confidence in this and have seen others who have failed. Being a negative person does not encourage anything, if one wants to rant go find a wall that wants to listen. If you have constructive things to say then say them. FXtec is not a large company and those of us who pre-ordered at least myself knew that we were supporting their work, unlike a kickstart or others which have failed. So calm down and please do not comment unless you have some vested reason. You want the device support it, if you dont please stop trying to be an armchair ceo.

What are you talking about ? I don't dislike you, I only feel pity about you. I didn't say 71.43% on you "points", and you are only explaining why the other 28.57% are true. And please, don't misunderstand "insults" with "facts" even if they don't please you.
Whatever you think and you say, my offer to put you in touch with people which can help you is still open .

You didn't say any critics, you only tried to do some kind of poor bashing

Surely from you, but without a device your opinion will not matter.

It's not project management but communication. But there have been more communication than with most of startups. Even the ones which do many marketing stuff don't have a good communication.

You aren't a customer, stop mixing the reality the way you want her to be kiddo.

As I said, please grow up a little, maybe take a work and learn how the world work, or go play somewhere else. Here you only look like a rebel teenager pissed of against the world and which want to find a way to take revenge against this world.

Humble posts?

Not the first, you are right... but currently is the only one even considering to build a phone with slider.

I don't know what technical skills you have, but if you want to build a phone which functions well in every aspects, a slider keyboard makes the whole process much more complicated to do well.

Even the radio frequencies used in old slider phones were much less than this phone is designed to support as a lot of things changed in last years.

So they had to design appropriate antennas, good transmission / reception even in opened and closed state and ensure the phone meets also radiation requirements.
This need a lot of effort and also testing.

Testing does not exactly mean certification. Prior certifications, you have to ensure the phone will be able to pass it, so you have to do similar tests for yourself, maybe do some modifications and test again, and finally do the official test.
Prior tests may not mean worse tests, maybe even done by the same (or similar) test equipment, but unofficial ones with no certification as result, but cheaper for development and you may do minor modifications during the occasion and do additional testings.
These are special and really expensive equipments, so special laboratories and even some universities have them (I am speaking about EMI / EMC measurements and Faraday cage for example).

Doing this for a small company can be really hard and expensive.

...and as they already have FCC regulations passed (which is also really expensive as its own), they really had to do such tests written above, otherwise the chance of having successful FCC certification is extremely low.

It is not really easy to copy the design (if we are not speaking about an exact copy) - so to design a similar phone takes time.
Big manufacturers may be able to design a similar phone in less time, but they are also thinking it twice.
They can sell bunch of phones with much simpler design (practically they look the same anyway), but slider phones are more expensive to manufacture (less profit) and may not would be sold as the same rate or if so, bigger manufacturing price would make them a worse option to manufacture as the less profit.

Otherwise, for F(x)tec, that is why it is a good idea to build a slider phone. As an n'th manufacturer, they would not survive at all - there are several manufacturers.
...but as a manufacturer of a slider phone, they may sell enough devices to gain good profit.

If I will be satisfied with Pro1, I would also buy their next model even if other manufacturers have slider phones. So if their build quality is good, they may have good reputation and also future sales.

Please sit down and wait a few weeks.
You are constantly saying the same and the same negative thoughts without real knowledge on what is in the background and without any knowledge about what things may happen.

For them, the most important thing would be the good reputation, so to be able to sell phones to prove the users this is a working model then there is high chance of having much more orders if everything are right.

So that way you try to decrease their chance regardless of their effort of doing everything right - I understand that can make them angry.

Also, please remember that you said they are liars and scammers without knowing the real situation.

Anyway, you may be right about their communication could be better, they may also have their consequences what to do a bit different if they will build up another product later.

Please stop being negative for a few months and let's back to it when we know the end of the story.
I would like them to build up a high quality, good brand and reputation, so please don't ruin their business.

I have thought of maybe buying this phone. It seems to be really hot. Shaihkritzer: what is your expertice, so that if you would have this phone what are the main areas you could help to make most out of it? Haven't read all posts so would you use android or leste or what on it?

Hey guys. Stop beating the poor child. That is called bullying

I politely said please stop talking. Apple is a large corporation. FXTec is a small startup taking the risk to bring back a design that many of us support. All I am saying is you'd gain respect if you actually had some empathy to trying to start an enterprise that is not off the ground yet.

I repeat please stop talking.

Double dog damn!!!
I must admit that toy-wise, this is great.
A handheld phone that is perfect as a "book" when opened.
Using F-Breader (haha...I like to call it that ...) my fav reader would be a pleasure in such a form factor.
Like the virtual keyboard use, turning it into a netbook...um...smaller...um.."phonebook"..perhaps?
I would hope that plenty of folks make roms and support other os's for it.
I sure wouldn't mind a compact, pocketable "phonebook" with options of different os's and roms.


As far as the continuing conversation goes...
shaihkritzer does bring up a few good points...
but yeah man...you voiced them, everyone has heard and understands them,
so your objective is accomplished,
and you have rebutted every critique,
and that objective is accomplished,
sooooo...
take a breather and get your calm back on.
and change the tune ...eh?

And as a suggestion....from the vibe I got from one of your posts...
well...
the use freedom of speech as a shield that one can assault others from behind, with impunity ...
is not a defensible one.
So I wouldn't consider trying that as a constant.

You are not the only one who complains, but maybe the only one who called them liar and scammer without any real reason.
On the end of the story we all will know the truth but at this point extreme opinions are don't welcome I think.

It is very frustrating reading your extreme negative comments through the topic.

Otherwise, basically you seem to be a reasonable human, maybe a bit impatient.

So, please wait a while and see what happens in the coming weeks.
