..........at 7:33pm!

Guess we all could have waited to pre-order afterall as gbax seems to be running like clockwork the last time I checked! Ah well.........

Also, maybe now the newsletter is being received the sales might go mad again like this afternoon?

Glad all us forum members seemed to get there first due to ordering info only being made available on here!

Cheers Craig!
 
Hello everyone, Craig here,

Well, this is it, the Pandora preorder email, I'm sure you have seen a lot of the recent publicity
on the net about the Pandora, it has taken us quite by surprise just how many of you are behind
us on this project - Seeing Ubuntu running really seemed to get the pulse going for some of you!

Right, no messing around for those of you waiting to preorder, you can place your order from here:

http://openpandora.org/worldmap.html

There will only be 3000 Pandoras made in this batch. No more until 2009. First come first served.

Or if you want to go direct to your local area:

make it worse!

The newsletter is lost somewhere in this very server.
Click to expand...
Yeah all the hammering of the site wouldn't let any of the mails through. I was chatting with ED and it was shortly after I managed to get my preorder in... only 100 emails had gone out.

I still haven't received my email, lol, if it's alphabetical, I have a long wait, my surname begins with W!
EDIT: email received: 22:22 GMT!

Got mine around 20:31 GTM+1.

Look at it this way, that means maybe 22.000 people ( minus the people who ordered already here ) are still potential clients.

Based on the load of the servers that link or host to the Pandora's pre-order event, its clear that its a raving success. Aka, when the newsletters are more & more send, even more people will order.

To me, its silly to limit the production to 3.000 if maybe more people order. If for instants 5000 people order, and pay up front, why not produce 5.000 units... The money is there, no need for a loan or any other financial backing... To me it make more sense, because that also allows for a larger capital to Craigix, ED etc for future development, and having a larger order then 3.000 at once, may mean a nice discount of a few % on the manufacturing. I don't think anybody at TI is going to be sad if the order is higher ;-)
 
No email here, yet. Good thing I just remembered what day it was. :blink: I probably would have been hiding under the bed crying for the next months if I hadn't got my order in. :ph34r:
 
Received the newsletter at 8.31pm GMT, fortunately was able to preorder during the mad rush this afternoon.
