Anyone received their new Pandoras yet?

[teknotoast]

Grab a $6 micro wifi USB stick if you have network issues. The wifi chip recommended to us back when this all started is pretty rubbish with some networks but there is little we can do, there are setting you can play with for the internal wifi which may help, many, many threads on it.

I got it working eventually... Apparently there was a disagreement between the Pandora and my router.... I guess Pandora doesn't like WEP encryption all that much so I had to change to WPA, not a huge deal, and it works flawlessly now.


I don't need ridiculous download speeds on my pandy as I wouldn't ever really be using it for torrenting or anything... Websites load at an acceptable speed.


On a side note, I'm not sure if shipping did a number on the unit, but there was all sorts of problems when I first started it up... applications would hang and become unresponsive, icons disappearing, numerous times I had to reboot... So I flashed to Zaxxon HF5 and ever since it's been a smooth ride.

Has anyone that was from the first round of orders (Oct 2008) and -not- upgraded gotten one recently? And if so, when did you order?


Trying to figure out how excited I should (or should not yet) be. (Oct 5 2008 here)

I first heard about the existence of the Pandora project on April 2nd, 2012. I pre-ordered my Pandora on April 4th, 2012. Today, April 22nd, 2012, I got the final payment email from ED telling me that shipment can start within the next two weeks. So if I'm lucky, the total time between pre-order and receiving the Pandora will be about one month. This is great!


I feel bad for only having learned about the Pandora so late, I wish I witnessed its birth, not just its rebirth. But then again, I am very happy that I won't have to wait 3 years like some of you!

I could put mine back in the box and pretend I was just opening it for the first time..


I have to say my new German built Pandora's is great, much better wifi speed than my older unit.. was actually streaming videos fine from my home file-server. I couldn't even stream 320x240 DivX avi videos with the old unit, forced me to use my USB Ethernet adapter.


Both of the trigger buttons are spot on and feel equally responsive. The casing seems to be improved too, I don't see any bowing on the LCD screen bezel, nor any cracking or dis-colorization.


Also the 512megs of SDRAM, I can tell makes a slight performance improvement in some applications.


This was my December 2009 batch 1 pre-order, I upgraded the order..


Great job all around.

I orderd 1 oct 2008 and today I got an email from Michael, that my Pandora is ready for sending to me.


It was just a little bit more than 2 months

Assuming the "didn't upgrade" caveat? Then YAY! Definitive proof of progress!

I took that as a tongue-in-cheek jab at the "Two Months" meme.
