The back light layer of the unit Eske is using was from a small batch of samples. Production components comes with mass produced and in theory should be much better. (And I can see being better.)

Regarding price, I noticed if you go to check out now, they don't appear to charge tax anymore. Total to the US comes out to 700 plus 10 for shipping.
Am I missing something here?

.Concerning the Pro^1.
My only remaining interest – as not to say worry – concerns the battery serviceability. Those screws, they do make the battery (more easily) replaceable by the user, don't they?

Is this device also going to "get better over time, just like red wine" like the Purism Librem 5?
Checked the specs: no resistive N900 screen for enhanced productivity , but what can we expect.
About audio recording: capabilities are left out.
Since 2008 Nokia E71, 2012 Nokia 808 and then subsequent disapointments with most "modern" 2016 phones such as Galaxy S7, I came to expect knowing some details about this.
I still use FMtx a lot to easily "cast" FM to all kind of radio's from car to those around the house. No love lost on that killer feature either?

indeed. it already got much better over almost 1 year of delays
At least it's "only" 700 Euro, that's half price of my Wife's new iPhone
And with a little bit of luck we can pull 5-10 yrs usage out of this for better or for worse. Will depend on the hardware fragility / Achilles heels yet to be discovered.

What will i receive first? The Fx Tec Pro1 or the screen protector i bought on Aliexpress?
