    Pyra why ?

    You don't need to explain someone, for what you are spending your money. Just answer, that you are a Fanboy. That's not an insult... I also don't see any use for the Pyra and that's the reason, why i didn't buy it. I am using a RG350 for mobile emulation and use it only for long travels. I also...

    Then sad news: If the Android APK is not working on Pyra, also WhatsApp will not work. You need a mobile device to use WhatsApp. The "Web" Version is also only a version, which is coupled with your phone version and can't work as a single application. So, no idea how you want to use WhatsApp...

    Yes, it's an injection molded case as he wrote: Production challenge : In order to make this kit so affordable we must reach our fundraising goal because: 1- The casing require injection molding. And injection molds are really expensive. 2- PCB : we have to order more than 1000 units if we...

    Did you seriously want to use the pyra as a phone? If you really need something to make a phone call, write messages, read news and surf, buy (like me for a business phone) a Nokia Lumia for 30€ BTW: The Retrostone2 gets WiFi... if they reach 150k, it will get also bluetooth. But he said, that...

    because I don't know it :-D Thanks for the info! Maybe... It always depends on what hardware you want. The RetroStone 2 has also only approx. 1000 preorders and he found a way to build it up cheap. He also mentioned it in the kickstarter campaign, that it will be shipped from ShenZhen in...

    So the list is besides Pyra/Pandora only Librem 5 and Neo Freerunner. Let me name some others: Jolla Smartphone / Tablet (both not expensive) GPD XD GP2x F100/F200, Wiz Vector Smartwatch RetroStone/Raspiboy It's difficult to say, what is "indie". Purism is also a company with a revenue of 1...

    The new RetroStone 2 shows, that that is definitely not true: 129€ für a device with maybe low specs (so the cpu and ram is low) but also a low price and good looking software. There is also a thread about it, where someone share his experiences with the Retrostone 1...

    To be fair: You loose your warranty, you are allowed to open it like you want. Do you think, if I open the pyra/pandora and do some solder stuff and it get broken, ED will also not replace it for free.

    Depends on how much units are sold in Germany. Of course, I understand that. Also, Nintendo is earning a lot of money with his exclusive games. The Nvidia Shield wasn't sold so much, also doesn't have so much exclusive games. But the quality of it is really amazing! It's one of the best...

    Is that really cheaper? At the moment, the NVIDIA Shield Handheld has s 1.9 GHz GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 and was released 2013. Price was 299$. That was 6 years ago. The Nintendo Switch costs 300€ with a Tegra X1 (Quad ARM Cortex-A57 + Quad ARM Cortex-A53). The cheapest Pyra has a weaker...

    The keyword is "sobald"... I don't know if you remember it, but the pandora was also very late. The first price was 260€ (or 290€, i can't remember) for the first preorder. 3 years later, it was 400€ or 500€. I bought one of the first and sold them for nearly the twice, because there were a lack...

    I don't mean the color. That, he said in the video, shall be not a problem and for testing the dimension, it's enough. I am more worried about the gab between two parts: Depends on the quality, you want to reach, the gab may be good or bad. Also, it can be fixed by the screws, which he maybe...

    of course. Nobody in the world would say something else. But most of the people are going with the time and not against it. Nobody really likes windows 8. It was a mistake, also MS said it and fired the manager, who was responsible for the change. Everyone is doing mistakes, Microsoft is not...

    Current statistics and some predictions

    Nice to hear, that there are a lot of people very optimistic. The Pandora era was a little bit different then today. There were only the GP2x F100/F200 (i don't remember exactly), the Wiz and the PSP for alternatives. Now, there are a lot of more handhelds like that, most comes from GPD. Also...

    What happenened if not? I also preordered the pandora, waited for it more than 2 years and my expertations were bigger than that, what I got. Reviews could also be bad and maybe people are now getting more interested in other handhelds like the GPD Win. Maybe I am wrong. I don't know the...

    Ah okay, understood. But why re-starting the Pandora production? As I read, a lot of people will not buy a Pyra because they have a Pandora and for them, that's enough. I don't know, if there are a lot of people, who wants a pandora and a pyra, aren't there? I think, that it hasn't more benefits...

    Did I understand it correctly: There are also some "depts" because of the Pandora and you are now planing to pay them back through the Pyra? And for that, you have to sell 3000 Pyra?

    How to calculate a price for the Pyra

    you will always need another device besides the pyra, because you can't make phone calls. Or are going outside without any phone? Also, installing and setup the pandora was also really annoying. It was not so simple that everyone could do that. You can use the integrated office tools to edit...

    How to calculate a price for the Pyra

    You can! It is more complicated but you can! You have to install a different store through a apk package. Blackberry Passport?
