New FIG Kosher Phone

Helix_X_Dome He probably meant that they would tell the manufacturer to add a button or change the look of a button. It's very unlikely that FIG has the manafacturing capability to do such a thing.Or he meant to change the function of a pre-existing button, which FIG (or the manufacturer) could do, but it's unlikely that they would bother doing that when they could just ask the manafacturer to do it for them.

This is getting me a bit curios as to how you are viewing the process of this production. As I know for a matter of fact, the factory in which FIG uses to create their phones will do all the necessary manufacturing that's needed, there's is no manufacturing beyond that. FIG has no additional manufacturing resources of their own. However, unlike the idea that FIG "just took some phone off the Alibaba market and sold it", they have full manufacturing control within the factory to be able to add, take away, enlarge, decrease, you get the point.
A good example is the fact that when I first saw the samples, they had a bad hinge, and not such an attractive plastic housing, and then I viewed newer samples in which the hinge was changed and the housing was updated to a stronger and sleeker plastic. They do have the ability to add buttons, and they can change its function as well. But all this is done by the factory as I know for a fact.

Helix_X_Dome Mr Jeff Li (who speaks a near perfect English, mind you)

Well, its easy to speak perfect English when texting with super smart ai manipulated language translation. I dont think he thinks with perfect English.

Flippy If they can pay they would get Verizon approval and not tell customers to lie about the IMEI to trick Verizon into activating it

Could be they would get verified if they are able to, i don't think they didn't do everything in their power to get this done. Just saying that I've seen many diff fringe phones out there (Unihertz, something like those) that require you to do the same when using Verizon, I think Verizon has the problem being flexible with their verification.

mkw also what's about ribis (ריבית) for the pre orders

what shayches ribis its cheaper now to preorder not more expensive?? BASICS

I was saying that FIG might have full control over the Chinese factory and can fully customize the phone to their liking, whether it be hinges or color or texture or material or processor or memory (or even regarding software like removing the browser etc.),they have this control over the manafacturing process by telling the manafacturer to do such and such (like I literally said before), but they don't do anything by themselves with their own employees in some sort of hypothetical inhouse facility in the U.S. - that doesn't exist. Everything is made overseas. That's what I meant when I said that they don't have the manafacturing capability to add buttons, that is by themselves, without the Chinese manafacturer and their facility. So I'm not sure what you are curious about. What I said was pretty clear, like how you put it:

FIG has no additional manufacturing resources of their own

That's all that I was trying to say - that nothing is made by FIG themselves in-house (besides some software like the fig messenger app), rather they tell the manafacturer what to do, and they do it for FIG. That's it. That's all I meant to say. I'm was never coming to say that FIG just "takes off phones off alibaba and sells them". Of course, they customize it to their liking, the manufacturer produces it, and FIG sells it like they did with the fig flip one. Just over here FIG customized it a bit more for the better.

Tl;dr:We are saying the same thing, and you are just stating what has already been said.

Listen, I don't know what kind of world you live in, but in mine there is no such thing as a "perfect English" translated by "SUPER SMART A.I.-MANIPULATED LANGUAGE TRANSLATION MACHINE 2000" or something like that. If it makes you feel better to think that he doesn't speak English (even though you never spoke to him), then fine, think that way all you want lol.

PHONEHOCKER You are incorrect, learn through the halachos, get a basic understanding, and read some modern-day examples, and you will understand quite quickly that early-bird discounts are indeed a ribbis issue.
