If that’s the case, I won’t even consider buying it

This is really bad news if it's true!!!
I'm so relieved! Now we just need a release date! Will there be a super early bird special?

For sure. If the Flint 4 isn't meaningfully better than the Flint 2, then I wouldn't buy it either.

It appears that Google mistakenly displayed the price of the Mudi 7 in the search results for the Flint 4.

Ahh nice, that was a mini heart attack.
That sounds interesting; I’ll only buy it if it’s worth it and only if the price is right.
Saw same on Facebook earlier
Good, the beta units would be seeding rn so timelines match.
Usually the mailing list would get updates about pre-order and early bird, so I think this is a mistake from marketing and pre-orders are not live yet
They will be soon.

‘Soon’ however is not the same as putting marketing posts out saying ‘pre-order now’.

Yep. I had 2 comments deleted from the Facebook post, rightly calling out that it can’t be preorded yet.

Will the SFP+ port be backward compatible with 1Gb/s SFP modules?
My ISP currently supports up to 1Gb/s services and I’ve used a 1Gb/s BiDi module in the past with a Ubiquiti router. Plan was to buy the same BiDi module again and use that with the Flint 4.

Hmm I never heard of it being not compatible on any device based on the lower speed, it should be backwards compatible.
I do know that some sfp modules may are incompatible, often with sfp ports there only a few which don't work so compatibility surely need to be tested I think, I don't know if that holds true on ethernet copper sfp modules.
The fiber ones often come with their own mini web ui for configuration with isp, and alot of things need to match in that case with isp side, either by spoofing or having the exact same module and supplying the serial/vendor with them.
