Awesome to hear!
Guess you're going to write a review up after?
Maybe. I'm not so good at writing reviews, but I might try to put something together. I think my time would probably be better spent just answering questions.

That's good news God Ginrai. Out of most of the people around here I would've figured you to a quite the stickler for detail. So, I find it impressive that you "can't find anything to fault". Mine should be in the same sub-batch as yours, so this makes me happy.
Well, one thing I did notice is that the "warp" when the Pandora is closed that people have been talking about is still there, but just like everything else about the Pandora, it looked much larger in pictures than in real life. It doesn't bother me whatsoever. One nice thing is that my Pandora didn't have any problems with a low battery when I got it. I plugged it in to charge as soon as I got it, and the light came on immediately and it started charging.

just realized I was kinda hijacking God Ginrai's thread, sorry about that. I'm just super stoked and I didn't want to make a new thread till I had time to say more.
Congrats God Ginrai, what was your first downloaded and/or installed program?
Don't worry, I don't mind.
My first apps were all dropped onto the SD at the same time. I populated my cards while my Pandora was charging. The first one I ran was planned to be Mupen with OoT, but when I put the SD card into my Pandora, I realized I had forgotten to copy mupen over to the SD, so instead, the first game I played was Sonic and Knuckles, followed by Super Mario RPG.
Just some things to note:
- I noticed some slight lag in the sound which would quickly recover that happened every once in a while in Picodrive and Snes9x4d4p. I believe this was caused by waiting for a read from the card.
- The clock has to be set again any time you reset your Pandora
- That WiFi problem is annoying. I was using the WiFi pretty successfully from the far side of my house, where all of my friends complain about the WiFi, but it seems that IM and IRC was too much of a strain for the connection I guess. Toggling WiFi fixes the problem until the next time you are dropped, but I am definitely looking forward to when this bug is hammered out.
- Nubs as mouse will bother some people, because if you so much as tap the right nub, you might register a mouse click.
- That firetruck minigame in Pandora Panic is impossible to win.
BTW, anyone know a good tutorial for setting up MAME? (I've never used MAME before in my life, and this stuff about romsets and all seems to be throwing me for a loop)
