Ok, Thanks everyone. It finally booted again, so now to leave it charging for a while.

So, I plugged in a charger again, and the green LED behind the case came on immediately, and the power button turned red. Pushing it still does nothing, but I will wait a while to see if it charges up like my android phones.

I did a shutdown -h now IIRC and it never rebooted, and the power button no longer works.

I took out the battery, and it tried to start but went back off and again power button does nothing. The FAQ I was following was here: https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/first-information-for-new-pyra-owners-faq.99302/

I ran the OS update, and now the power button doesn't do anything on my Pyra and it doesn't turn on. Not sure what to do...

Amazingly, I sort of like the blue, but I think any but pandora rebirth black would look ugly with all the controls being black (the nubs etc)... So I still vote for black like the rebirth pandora or Thinkpad black.

I'm a fan of Thinkpad black. I would use mine mostly for work and would like to look at least somewhat professional (as professional as I can with gaming controls on there :P). I just don't really want something this expensive and capable to look like a toy / cheap portable Nintendo ...

Yea, for me it's the lack of spyware. So if there's a US 4G version, on some networks (like AT&T) it could work as a phone? I was expecting to use data + SIP service, or the like. What sort of software for linux is there even to work as a cellphone? I also always figured I could tether to a...

+1 for bigger sizes. 16GB minimum IMHO. 32GB sounds good to me. It's at least as much perception as anything more. When I went from my 16GB Note 2 to a Note 5, I paid for the 64GB version. Not because I needed the space, but because I don't have to worry about having "too many" podcasts loaded...

Will it be possible to do a pre-order along with a pre-pre-order and ICP2 voucher? I'm just thinking sort of like a payment plan :P Or would I end up with 2 Pyras then?

Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I vote for black like the pandora or thinkpad color. Looks like a tool rather than a toy IMO. If black isn't possible then the gray from the Neelix post would be livable. Very dark red or blue would be far in last place for me. Transparent / beige...

Personally I still like the black color of the original Pandora. Of course, my laptops are Thinkpads and my towers are ThinkStations so Black is kind of my color lol.

OT maybe: Why LXDE instead of XFCE like on Pandora?

Personally, I have plenty of android devices, for far less money. I'm more interested in a device that doesn't spy on me, and I don't have to share everything I do with either Google or Microsoft. I'm resigned to the NSA, but damn it, I have a choice on companies. So my desktops now run Linux...

I am super excited. I'd love to be able to replace my Android smartphone eventually, or at least use the android phone just as a wireless hotspot, so I can use VPN on Pyra and get some privacy back.

Ordered, 102 left when I ordered, so I'm maybe #99? Man Citi Visa likes to verify a lot, even though I shop from overseas frequently online. Had to put in last 4 of social, and reply to text message for them to approve the $330.24... I assumed they'd get a better exchange rate than Paypal, also...

Well, I also prefer the IBM Thinkpad look. Black / Black for me. I might play games, but I also want to be able to take notes on it in a business environment, and "exciting" colors don't work that well. The ugly silver was one reason I never bought a 1Ghz, much preferred the rebirth edition...

I'm trying to set this up, but I'm having a couple issues. 1) the GUI goes off the screen on the bottom so it's hard to select advanced or save. 2) I figured that out, managed to set up, but get connection timed out. 3) I can connect to the service from other OSs and devices, and you can ping...

Personally, I'd save the money and not do 5Ghz. I think the Pyra will be expensive enough, and if someone really needs 5Ghz, they can use a USB adapter right? 

So for those of us who supposedly have a credit from the ICP2 at Ithic.com - how will pre-orders etc work? Do we have to wait for full release?
