"I was going to start another thread with my own experiences thus far with the Pro1X, but figured it's be better to share with one that already exists...\n \n\n\n\tI have had the Pro1 for the past couple of years and I loved it, it had flaws and bits eventually stopped working (Minijack socket and USB-C socket) but overall I love the device. So this is more of a comparison than a top to bottom review. \n \n\n\n\tOn the Pro1 the keyboard was awesome, GPS was great, having a minijack port as a sound engineer is mega handy, messages were perfect and, once the various modules were replaced; people could hear me when I spoke, and the indicator LED telling me when I have messages without having to activate the device is more helpful than I ever gave it credit for. (People mentioned it being bright and keeping them up at night: Either turn it upside down or make a flip open case. Problem solved.\n \n\n\n\tI have never understood peoples troubles with opening it: Lift up one side and push inwards on the other, easy. It doesn't even clack unless I actually want it to... I.e.. When I open it like a wizard to show people how awesome it is.\n \n\n\n\tNow... Onto the Pro1X after a month of it being my primary driver:\n \n\n\n\tGood bits: \n \n\n\n\t* The keyboard feels great. I hadn't noticed until I went from one to the other but the keys on the old Pro1 have become less tactile and a bit more squidgy.\n \n\n\n\t* Feels weightier and sturdier.\n \n\n\n\t* USB-C port feels better straight off the bat.\n \n\n\n\t* And here I run out.\n \n\n\n\tBad Bits:\n \n\n\n\t* Call drop out, even when my signal indicator says I'm in an area of healthy signal people can't hear me and calls get dropped. It's really frustrating and strange, I can hear people fine, but the folks on other end can't hear me, I fade in and out every single time without fail. I've started simply not using it and calling people back when I get to a reliable phone.\n \n\n\n\t* Apparently this is only me, but the GPS on this device is far inferior to my Pro1. When using it as a SatNav while driving I have missed multiple corners because it hasn't caught up. A problem I never had before.\n \n\n\n\t* Indicator LED doesn't show when I have messages. 😞\n \n\n\n\t* While writing messages on the physical keypad the on screen keyboard pops up for little bit before realising I'm actually typing elsewhere, then it buggers off again, not a deal breaker but makes my brow crease momentarily.\n \n\n\n\tThat's all I can think of for now, will update as things come to me.\n \n\n\n\tI would simply go back to my Pro1 but I have 2 faulty USB-C modules that are away for repair and cannot use it till they come back.\n \n\n\n\tThanks all, take care\n \n\n\n\t \n "
