    A tale of snow, tons of server requests and coordinates (2011-12-16)

    My mum completed Manic Miner - that was 28 years ago and I still haven't got past the Solar Power Generator. The shame of being a child at school in the 80s whose mum was better at Manic Miner than he was :-) Still, it did mean that when Jet Set Willy came out she rushed out and bought it...

    Nintendo 3DS

    I had a go on Starfox in my local Game - have to admit the 3D effect was much better than I was expecting. Only played for 5 minutes though - my eyes were starting to go funny (I had the 3D slider on max). That new add-on they've just released with the additional analogue nub smacks of...

    Good times

    Ahhh, well do I remember the excitement when my brother bought himself a ZX Spectrum 16K :) I can still remember sitting there as he opened it - my initial reaction being "OK there's the keyboard -w here's the rest of it?". Up till that point I had only ever seen computers in SciFi movies :)...

    First Impressions

    Well my Pandora arrived on Friday (eBay purchase - sorry guys, wasn't patient enough to wait for production to resume). Haven't had much time to play with it yet, but first impressions are very good :) Build quality is a lot better than I was expecting after having read about all the issues...

    An appointment and boards shipping (2011-07-22)

    There is no news posted in this forum on a regular basis and what little that is posted is often conflicting and confusing. Direct questions are usually ignored. I simply do not believe that any business could genuinely be unable to answer such simple questions as "How many Pandora orders have...

    about the circuitco delivery

    I gave up on my Premium and bought one on ebay instead (hopefully it will be posted today....).

    about the circuitco delivery

    If Craig has posted a single Pandora status update in the last month and a half, I must have missed it.

    Goodbye and Good Luck

    I'm really surprised they haven't. Google automatically sent me an email asking me to rate the OpenPandora shop a few days after I ordered. I didn't bother, but you have to wonder if Google would revoke OP's ability to accept payment via Google Checkout if they receive a lot of negative...

    Goodbye and Good Luck

    Well, it was originally supposed to have been my 40th birthday present. I would never have paid £370 of my own money for one as I just couldn't justify that much. It was easier for me to order it than for my wife to do it, but when it became obvious it wasn't going to arrive on time she bought...

    Goodbye and Good Luck

    Well, I just cancelled my Premium order (ordered on the 13th of June). I notice the order page still says that orders will ship in 7 days. I'm afraid I just don't have any confidence that deliveries will recommence any time soon. I'm not prepared to have £370 tied up indefinitely, so it's time...

    Sad day!

    That is not true for any I have watched in the past month. The last 4 that I have seen all went for £300 or less. The very last one went for £255 + £10 postage.

    Sad day!

    They've run out of boards (except for a few that ED is fixing) and CC haven't delivered any additional boards for a few weeks now (see ED's thread in the official news forum).

    Sad day!

    True, but depends on how badly someone wants that much storage. I've been keeping an eye on prices as I've been considering cancelling my premium order (it's been a month now and no prospect of it arriving any time soon from what I've seen on the forums) and buying from ebay instead. You might...

    Sad day!

    :o £450! You do know that they've been going on ebay for £260-£300ish don't you? I don't think you'll find anyone willing to pay £450 for it.

    WiFi, tests and CircuitCo (2011-06-17)

    I ordered on the 13th of June, no sign of it yet.

    WiFi, tests and CircuitCo (2011-06-17)

    I suspect you meant "No win, no fee" :) Will lawyers do that in contract disputes? Given that CC probably have more money to spend on a court case than OP, is there not a danger of them just outlasting OP? Even if a lawyer is willing to wait for their fee, I think OP would have to pay all...

    WiFi, tests and CircuitCo (2011-06-17)

    Well the last email I received said I wouldn't be getting my premium until OP receive some more boards, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

    Best phone to use with Pandora...

    Still waiting on my Pandora - it is a premium so hopefully will arrive sometime soon, CC allowing :D I don't see my brother all that often, as we live 450 miles apart - but will certainly try next time I see him (he does pop down to London a fair bit, so will ask him when he is next coming...

    Best phone to use with Pandora...

    My brother has an N8 - it takes really good pictures. Build quality is nice too. Not directly applicable, but I didn't have any trouble tethering my Nokia E71 (also Symbian, but an older version than that on the N8) to my MacBook. If you're not bothered about installing lots of apps on your...
