I Got It!

[laurens]

Laurens, what is your opinion of the device? Is it all that you thought it would be? What is better than you expected, and what is worse? Can you just describe what you think of it a little please?

I like how your asking us drooling onlookers for advice how to use it.

Thanks for the photos and your comments so far.

I really like it sofar IT feels very nice, buttons feel good; the nubs are a bit too sensitive, but that I can tweak (haven't yet). The text on the screen for chat & websites are larger than I expected, it's all very readable. The .pnd system works VERY nice, really awesome. As you can read above, there are a few minor things I came across, but nothing major. The thing feels great, and I'm glad I got it. The Quick start guide is a very nice touch; unfortunately I did need it (as I didn't know how to reset it), so it's great that it was there. It even had a (printed) signature from Craigix, so that's always nice

But the cripsness of the screen is something to behold The keyboard & controls are extremely nice, it's good to have a real volume dial etc

I do need to clip my nails a bit further, as the number keys are very close to the hinge and I keep hitting that

Awesome device, really worth the wait

Grrrr I wanted to be the first that had a Pandora in the Netherlands, Im at 550-650 and I thought that was good enough for being first. I hope I will still be the first in Gelderland/nijmegen.

Now I cant wait till I get, luckily that will be soon (ok I got airmail, thats alot slower than UPS)

For quake3 ..

I found until I tweaked the controls in the game .. set mouse sensitivity down a bit, set up the buttons to work how I wanted them .. before that I found it'd "Stick" a lot; movements seems funky (or to me it did.) So I use d-pad for strafe and fwd/back, and right-nub for freelook, and triggers for fire and weapon rotation, and works great. But if I use left-nub (say) for movement, it gets 'stuck' .. ie: it thinks its still going one way, while you're pushing another so the game gets all confused.

pickle -- if the demo files are small, you could put them in a 'foo' directory, and then on first run..

if ! -e baseq3
mkdir baseq3
mv foo/* baseq3
fi

Type thing, so that first run creates and populates the dir (which would be on appdata).

Theres probably a better way to do it, but works

for the record, I've got the issue where.. q3 (not ioq3) .. right nub doesn't work (can't move more than 1cm up/down), so can't fire the game up.

Be lucky you're in the first 1000.
I still need to wait a long time...

May you reveal your ordernumber of ED's shop to me? Mine is Bestellnummer: 2979. If I have yours I could at least have a coarse estimation if I have to wait much longer.

Did any of you Pandora owners have a screen protector ready?

I have ready a screen protector for Archos 605 for my future Pandora

Mine is ~3400 , 30th January 2009.

There were discussions about this on the german board, basically the order number system got a reset at around october or something 2009, also, included in these numbers are also all other orders, like wizzes, dingoos, extra stuff etc. so its very hard to estimate your actual position! ED has not really talked about this, he could have some hints like "the 100th order of the pandora was taken 13th november 2009" or something, but this never happened, so we're kinda left in the dark.

But he has stated several times that he has 500+ orders, contrary to the popular belief of ~700. Which is a good thing.

Mine is in 25xx range and I ordered on first day, one or two hours after it began. I've asked Ed about position but got only "Yep, you should easily be within the first 1000 ".

 

[Caine]

Don't post your ordernumbers guys. We can use them to cancel your order and speed up delivery of our own Pandoras

Besides, ordernumbers and queue numbers are not the same.

In linux, I usually alt-drag a window if I don't want to grab it's taskbar. I can't seem to pull that off on the pandora yet. I tried pushing start/alt together with dragging a window with the stylus, but that didn't do the trick. What does?

I'm trying to setup my email account; chat was a breeze, but I normally use pidgin anyway, so no surprises there.

I've got a Bestellnummer around 2310 and that was with spending 1h on ordering the second it first became available.
