Thanks Chen,
I think these words were necessary even it should be clear that you FxTec cannot do anything to make banks believe you are no fraud!

Paypal would be a nice option but maybe someone here remember the Neo900 desaster?

Did you get a chance to look into my Sprint CDMA question? I emailed and tweeted but didn't hear back yet. Already paid for my preorder so I'm hoping I can get an answer soon

Alright, so last night I actually dreamt that someone from F(x)tec (he had the t-shirt) knocked on my door and gave me a beta Pro1 (easy to tell: the phone came with no box) and a USB thumb containing the latest SFOS community build.

Hopefully the wait will end before the last bits of my sanity are lost.

(Paypal would have been great. It generally defends the buyer in case of big issue like scam or lost parcel, this would have made some buyers more comfortable.)

Paypal is very risky for large sums of money if your a business, like peterleinchen mention.

After hearing so many horror story, I would as a business make sure it's not the preferred way to pay ... but an option I guess.

Hard call to make. Of course different story for buyers

Thank you Peter for understanding. We are working hard with PayPal to fully comply with their business terms and conditions. Progress has been made and I really hope it can be shortly restored as an option so less users will have this problem. (And yes, don't want things happened on Neo900 to happen again.)

Sprint should work on Pro1. However the actual signal strength will depend on your region. Pro 1 has LTE 25 26 and 41 which should cover all of Sprint's LTE network, The only thing is their secondary CDMA BC10 network's local coverage (Maybe talk to a Sprint customer service to check if your area is only covered by CDMA BC10) With Primary CDMA BC1 Pro1 is covered.

Absolutely, we discussed that here a few weeks ago. I was just mentioning the buyer's side.

Thanks for your feedback.
I tried again today, and it finally got through !
Looks like there was some more delay than expected on the bank side to add the exception in the system (the person I got on the phone the other day was not the actual person doing it).
So I will not personally need Paypal for this one, but it may still help others.

So now, to the next step.... waiting for the delivery

Thanks for the reply. I know the Pro1 supports the bands, but I'm concerned about which model (not size) sim is needed for the Pro1. Every Sprint phone needs a ICCID chip to register for LTE access.
