F(x)tec Pro1 - QWERTY Keyboard Smartphone from UK startup

I just found out about this new QWERTY keyboard smartphone.

This reminds me of the Japanese IS02 by TOSHIBA a bit.
$649.00 for pre-order, at a future date.

Nice! CmoneX will like that I'm sure. I'll send it over to her.

Nice find, stingraze. Do you know anything about this company? I doubt they have offices in the US, so any post-sale support would be overseas shipping, always scary.

She's going to try and buy one

Well, I read in a site that Livermorium is the F(x)Tec's Predecessor company. They used to make a mod for Moto Z called Keyboard Mod back in 2017 by crowdfunding. (according to: http://welte.jp/ca7/142/ )

They showed their F(x) Tec Pro 1 in Barcelona's MWC in 2019. According to welte site above, it says they are shipping in July 2019, but not too sure about the real date.

Haha! nice!

Yeah, those dates are always aspirational, as in we WISH we could ship on this date. I think the Cosmo's shipping date is June 2019, which, if I'm not mistaken, has come and gone.

Thanks for the info. That's a good looking phone, maybe even better than the Cosmo.

Yep, dates are always an issue. I like this phone's keyboard, it's sort of like the HTC Desire Z, back in 2010.
