Your thread title is not the most useful. It suggests there are two possibilities only. I don't feel you have a very useful thread here. You are trying to piece together a detailed timeline when the information does not exist. You also need to understand that this is not a little open source...

or add batch1 and sticking, batch2 and sticking.

Yes, that would explain why people don't seem to understand the process. It also explains why people want to upgrade to the 'premium price pandora' in the hope that it will some how be more exciting than the base model. The pre-order first batch are the special ones. The new price premium...

Troll. Try using Google translate and read the first page before prolonging the confusion.

I wonder if you may have missed the boat... This is not a temporary price increase, I think this is the new price (for now). Edit: see post 6 in this thread, although I'm sure they will still accept a batch2 pre-order if you want to try that!

lets hope Craig took down that page before he went to bed.

My understanding was that this was the new price for all future orders (until the costs change). The original price was just too optimistic when all of the indirect costs are factored in. In reality, the device is probably over-speced for the original target market.

You base this on what? the progress over Christmas? Spending the past 4 weeks in Craig's assembly plant? Give the team some credit and accept that this isn't a community run sim-city game.

I couldn't be bothered to collect the numbers from the thread and do the maths. I was thinking about $200 per unit, in terms of actually contributing to the overall pool, but it probably is cashflow that counts for the next couple of months. 30 in 3 weeks seems like quite a likely rate. A few...

Well, I jumped the queue 6 months back by taking a one-nubber, but what is being offered here is not queue jumping - it is about speeding up the queue. If 10 people jumped in this week, that pushes everyone back at most by a day. If that actually reduces Craig's stress, it might even mean he can...

The point is that you are not being asked to pay 'a bit more'. I'm guessing you're at the end of batch1 or batch2 if you are expecting a 2 month wait. That means 2000 more to build before you get one. Say they sell 200 at $500 which would have been part of batch 2. That's $40k which could...

That is a very odd reaction to a plan which is intended to result in MORE pandoras in the world. The reality is that your pre-order has got you a place a below a sensible retail price, and you probably ought to be grateful for that. Sure, you might not buy one now at a higher price, but the...

I think this is a good idea. The concern about getting pushed back in the queue is is valid, but probably not significant - it seems unlikely that many pre-orderers will opt to jump the the queue by a couple of weeks, and even if 50 people order in the next 2 weeks, that is quite a small...

Added a couple of data points to the first post..

I appreciate the need for a small browser to fit in the NAND, but it would help if that had some explanation in it's default home page, and if there was a way of overriding the default with a preferred version from SD if present.

Maybe £100, and another £20 for a very simple case to convert the old board into something usable (WiFi to USB/Audio). Not sure I'd buy one today, or if I'd want to keep the old case/screen in 2-3 years time, but it seems like a good thing to investigate. I also think people need to understand...

Sounds like you have 10 hours or ordering to go, last time i have seen quoted was 4:30pm ish (but I've seen no times posted over the past week)

Earliest this could ship would probably be 18 months, regardless of any talk of canibalising the pandora market. An upgradable PCB would be cool. I don't see the need for any extra features in the hardware, but a CPU/RAM spin makes sense (OMAP4 or wait for OMAP5?). 3G - I use my phone for...

Where's the popcorn icon? Thats all this thread is good for. This guy can't even work out how to pre-order a pandora!

If you have to ask, put the answer in the wiki.
