200 Finished, Some One Nubbers Available

[LineOf7s]

For those who haven't been paying attention, the whole 'one nub jump the queue thing' isn't in addition to any Pandora you already have, it's to swap your position in the queue from a guaranteed* good one to a potentially broken one. It's a risk/reward thing, not a 'cake and eat it too' thing.

If there's any confusion, this was directed at the apparently increasingly-belligerent RajTakhar.

the one nub club is for people who dont care about the nub thing

I joined cause I prefer to have the pandora before summer, and use it as umpc, develop, port appz and maybe emulate few games. I prefer now than wait undetermined amount of time (position ~3000)

My chief want for Pandora gaming is N64. I will need the left nub to be 100% working, and the right for C-buttons unless I want to use keyboard mapping.

For that reason alone, I backed out of risking a one-nub. It must be N64 capable!

My misunderstanding on the One Nub club. Hardcore que jumping right there!

No, we're playing this with great caution, like we have from the start.

So hoping I will receive an email in the few upcoming days. Or at least receive my unit this vacation. That must be realistic when placed 550~650, right?

I'm not sure if this has been answered but if I decided to get a one-nub Pandora could I get it fixed later for a price? If so, what would that be?

I'm seriously considering it because I am probably close to 3000 (after re-ordering a year later :/) and I don't think I would care if I had nubs at all, but its possible I might want them in the future. I would be comfortable with paying later to get it fixed, if that would be an option.

Back when things were first being discussed, the board factory was supposed to be able to pump them out at 1000/week or so (I don't feel like searching for the exact number), which was then dropped to ~700 (or was it 500?) a week, supposedly because the extensive testing was taking longer than expected. Now you're saying that they have to slow down even further? To what rate? 300 a week? 200? 50?

Looking at the numbers closely, it's even worse. Production and testing of the remaining boards (after the first 700) startet at the 13th of April according to the blog posts. Two days ago, ED stated in the German forum that they got only 200 new boards from the company lately because they did not have finished more. This is about two months for 200 boards or about 25 per week. This certainly cannot be explained with exhaustive testing, there is obviously some other kind of problem with that board company. However, there have been asked many questions regarding this in the last weeks and all of them have been ignored by the OP team. I guess they have their reasons for that, but as long as we don't get more information I have to assume that it's not about to get much faster in the short term. I still hope OP team decides to clear this up soon though, since I'm not going to wait if I cannot realistically expect my device within the next 3-4 months.

Maybe after the first week, they decide more QC is needed. MW goes back home, catches up on life, updates some things like building a pre-assembly nub-tester, specifies more testing. This puts production on hold for maybe 2 weeks - then they need to re-test another 700 boards before shipping another batch.

Explained...

Are pandoras being built this week or more waiting for boards? Why cant the 3000 cases get silk screened if the wait is going to be months?

+1. It would help me relax either way.

WOW, thats fast, I had my change of order confirmed last Friday, but did not get any shipped email.
I was told it will be shipped in 24/48 hours once I confirm I want one.

 

[greendots]

Craig send a unit with faulty nubs to Will it Blend... it will be great publicity!

I joined the 1nubclub the 18th and was told i will get a shipping confirmation email "early next week" but have yet to get one. im guessing urjaman was shipped one they already had and we will get ours once they get the new batch of one nubbers. im super excited to get a pandora, be it one nub or two. i dont think i have ever checked my email this often

I got a confirmation mine should ship tomorrow or Thursday.

 

[tyicepaws]

WOW day 10 of the estimated 2 to 12 day shipping hmm wonder if i can still get ups shipping this airmail is taking to long

 

[gruso]

I'd say if you were given a 2 to 12 day estimate, 13 days would be too long. Not 10.
