Skeezix/ED, should we still-waiting folks download and set aside these update PNDs, or will newly assembled units be flashed with the latest versions of things? Want to make sure I don't miss a hotfix for when my Pandora arrives.

I'm pretty sure ED is just referring the side that opens versus the hinge side and how the hinge side is pushing down and causing a slight gap, NOT specifically the slight warping-ish gap noticed on the left side of one of the photographed units.

Yeah this isn't a huge issue. The only concern it would offer me is the possibility that in the process of applying the invisible shield protector, which requires some moisture, it would be more possible that moisture could seep into the case. But if mine were to come like that, no worse than...

You know, perhaps a stiff piece of foam can be put over the top keyboard buttons while the unit is folded that would apply a bit of pressure and help the adhesive strip bond better

Craig, I must admit, all the videos/photos I've seen seem to have this to some degree. Could there perhaps be a thicker/stronger/wider adhesive strip you could start using? Perhaps start doubling up down there?

Most folks seem confident of it, yes. There may be continued supply issues, but the general thought is that SSD will have it's biggest growth in 2010-2011, increasing demand and in turn supply for NAND memory. Also, improved MLC flash manufacturing processes (Multi-level cell, basically a less...

For anyone who doesn't have an urgent need for an SD card at present, I strongly, STRONGLY recommend waiting to buy your cards until: a. an AMAZING deal presents itself b. you have your system in your hand. Flash roadmaps (and DRAM roadmaps, coincidentally) are set for 2-3 years at a time...

Couldn't these just be given to developers as a loaner until their systems get to them?

I'm sure OPT isn't getting tired of posts like this. Can't we just assume that they're shipping as many as they can per day? I also don't know where you're getting that number from (I'm pretty sure that many units haven't shipped yet).

Get comfortable. It'll be weeks. Months for me, undoubtedly. I'm fine with that. I strongly doubt a device with this small a form factor with the ability to let me play my favorite DOS classics (w/ a full physical keyboard) and a screen that large will be out by the time I get it, even if it...

Let's hope that OPT's improved testing catches things like the d-pad in future units. A wonky d-pad would be irksome. Hope it breaks in fine, astewardson. Thanks for your fantastic videos!

They probably have a good reason. Maybe they need to discuss a few things with the company about the painting process. I'm sure they'll explain things soon enough.

Doh, haha, placed my order a couple days ago, it already shipped (fortunately also got a nice discount). I would have bought two if this was going on at the time. I wish I had a screen to test it on and share my thoughts about it, but I'm sure considering their reputation that it's a fine...

Oh my gosh, that is my nightmare scenario. Fortunately, it's coming to my place of employment, meaning that is not a possibility. Still, eep. Hope you get it soon without incident.

Thank you for sharing your intimate first moments with the Pandora with us, astewardson! Some of the best videos we've had yet.

Hah, well, maybe 45 minutes was a bit absurd, but I was just exaggerating to emphasize my point that, with the finish line so close, why not take a little extra time per unit? That's all. And it seems that's being done now, and the team is learning more and more tests to try before shipping...

Well then no worries and good luck! Haters gonna hate, can't stop that. I haven't waited more than a few months, but I'm quite patient.

This is kind of what I posted about earlier. There are going to be unresponsive/iffy controls. I suggested that OPT test a unit extensively, 5-10min+, and I was derided. People wanted everything quickly. Guess what: now people want them to test everything. Of course there will be mushy...

For reference, my brands of choice below: DS = Hori iPhone = Power Support USA's anti-glare (fantastic)

Did they already replace your unit? Or are you referring to your impression of when you had it? Or did you get it working, finally?
