Yea they're still playing coy about how many in the first batch and who's in it. For all we know it could only be 100 devices.
Glad they're on track to ship but apart from getting closer I have no clue when my order comes in. And at this point it could still be at least a month away based on their last estimate (having all pre orders out by the end of the November - going from memory, don't quote me on that)

"The first batch is being held at the Chinese export customs at the minute."
As I read it, it's all in the hands of "the Chinese" right now and for this month, excuse me , minute ;-)

Hi everyone,
A quick informal update for you.
As confirmed on Twitter, the first batch is in transit. Some of our Asia/Oceania-based customers will receive their tracking details before others, as stock is in transit to our UK and US warehouses. Please bear in mind the customs delays there might be with stock to the UK and US, but hopefully, it will all be smooth. Based on history, customs clearance shouldn't take more than a few days even in the worst case.
With this, I don't see why some of our Asian customers won't be able to unbox their devices next week, with shipments from the UK and US following shortly after.
Liangchen has been preparing a video update from the factory for you, but I haven't yet been told when it will be sent. It could be out any minute.
Erik

So the "definitely not mid November" will become "best case scenario is mid November"?
This reminds me the jolla updates a few years back. People didn't care about updates for new investors, they cared about software and device updates.
Same thing here.
People want to know when the device is going to ship to them, meaning like a week or so to have it in your hands.
They don't care when the device is going to ship to this or the other warehouse, waiting for customs etc.
Sure, any update is welcome at this point when you have delay after delay, but it should be phrased correctly.
When you deny November and you say 29th of October we will ship, that means that the device is ready, certified, inspected, free of customs etc, and it will be shipped from the company's warehouse the given date.
I understand that many people here will be willing to pay high end price for an outdated device cause of the hardware keyboard, but I don't appreciate tricky word-plays about dates.
Anyway, best of luck to all supporters and the company.

For many of you it may be easy to pay almost 700€ on a new phone. I sold my motorbike to pay some of my expenses and to have money to buy the FX Tec Pro1. This is a small effort comparing to FX Tec team on bringing us a device that no other company even dared to develop. When someone depends on othe to make something possible is very complicated because many things can hapen. They started to ship today. Even though it should be from warehouses and not from factory it still hapened. Let them give a chance to deliver all devices and i am sure that if they develop pro2 they learned a lot with these mistakes
