He is a liar! Pandoras where tested to be working in factory, so it cant be true...

Well, yeah, it COULD happen - but it would be weird.
First, they are tested in the factory, then we are testing them here, then we are assembling them and then we are flashing the Firmware... so yeah, of course, any unit could stop working, it ALWAYS happens with electronic devices, but it's not that likely.

hurray we have to tweak the mould once more! :ph34r:
nah. I'd prefer it looking worse. Less appealing - less prone to stealing.
I had this thought - deliberately make some of the 'special edition' units ugly. As in no paint, use a random mixture of different colored recycled plastic bits - preferably with lots of white, blue, green and red pellets - pushed through the mold to form swirly crazed cases. No two would be the same. It would have an almost grunge-punk look. Kind of like steam punk only more 80s. Yeah, this probably isn't going to happen.

Are we still talking about the troll's post about receiving a non-working unit that he canceled but didn't order in the first place? Or did someone have a legitimate issue?

approximate 200-250 on ed's list.
I asked my position earlier this year.
Hm, I got 263x and I thought I'm pretty much at the end of the list.

well if 27xx is indeed 200 - 250 then it's also waiting for me for the next shipment of cases :)

And yes, one more non German who ordered trough ED's store :)

Ho well, at least by then the software will be ironed out even more... :D

Actually the 80's represented the peak of the aesthetic and cultural elements that steampunk tries to romanticize and -- oh. Wait. You meant the 1980s. My mistake.

No, you will always be able to boot from an SD card or over USB/Serial to get a working image installed. It's unbrickable!

Here is one more non-german :p

Nice to know, my order number is somewhere in the 2400's, so that would mean that I would get it quite soon!

Whilst delighted as everybody else that it's finally shipping (hoping I get mine before the weekend, I'm about 300-400), I must say that I'm a tad concerned about that case blemish issue. I just assumed they were PERFECT. They obviously aren't. Oh well, lets hope mine looks better in the flesh. Enjoy your Pandora's you jammy tossers!
 
And another non-german here, although my case is slightly different (ordered pretty early on 30 SEPT 2008, then switched to ED´s shop after the bank disaster and being unable to reorder at Craig´s shop because of a dodgy IBAN code :angry: )

Order number 33xx, but reported my original order date and time to ED in order to keep my place in the queue so maybe I´m one of the lucky bastards to join the party next week :D
 
Did you get the USB cable to connect with PC? Squidge told once that such thing exists:

Squidge said:
It's the same cable as was provided with the GP2X, and it does exactly the same as the gp2x. Even if the Pandora doesn't come with one, you can use the gp2x one, or buy one for £2.75. All it does is give your Pandora an IP address which you use as a standard ethernet connection (ssh, telnet, samba, etc.. anything you can do over a regular IP address).

For reference, see:

So soon I'll know if it was indeed necessary for me to buy this cable. Or not.
