Hmmm that would be strange but it seems it's happening! I hope the scribble strips can just be a firmware update.
Wonder what other pros of the MKII there will be? The FM9 has been a weird launch cycle imo where availability has been sparse but there seems to now be 3 iterations. I can see why some may be annoyed.
I know it's not going to be a popular opinion here but the FM9 has been out 2 years and 5 months give or take and will have had 3 versions. That's a version a year (and yes I know the turbo was done out of chip necessity) but no other company does this so I can see why it can be frustrating because you know people will say "I just bought the FM9T and now this is out!" As if the FM9T is now a brick.

Well yes, I didn't figure you'd be annoyed
but people are going to make the common statement of "I just bought the FM9T last week and now the Mark II is out". It by no means makes the FM9 (any version) obsolete or any less but I'm just playing devil's advocate on how it could be frustrating. The FM9 has had as many iterations as the III and it's been out half the time

Might be an unpopular opinion, but aesthetically I dig the little strips more than these and I have no problem reading them while standing.
The additional space in the bigger ones could allow two lines of text though in the future (e.g. to show both tap and hold function)

I just emailed and asked to be placed on the waiting list… the worst they can do is say no…

There is already a wait-list for the US. I imagine they will just shift it over
I’m in the US. I’d be surprised if it’s much of a waitlist, they were in stock until a few weeks ago.

I'd just get on it now (the wait-list they have going). Once the MKII is announced there will be a decent jump in people wanting on

You made it seem like you emailed them about getting on the MkII list (maybe I read into it too much)
They won't say no about you asking to get on the wait-list they currently have lol
That’s what I did. I want the MK2 though, not the 1 unless maybe if it’s deeply discounted. I’ll just wait a little longer if I have to, I’ve got enough gear to last me it will be fine lol.
