Enjoy!

Wow some pictures !! So the cases already arrived ?

Hope everything will be alright and you can start mass producing them.

I guess there will be a few more pre-production pandora shipping to devs too (?)

 

[Vorporeal]

Hmm, judging by the "wider LCD cable slot" picture, these might have slightly better finish? It looks a bit more matte and a bit less "oily", but I can't be sure.

 

[kloplop321]

Well we aren't seeing the outer section that our fingers touch, just the important parts where it hinges onto the case it seems.

 

[renegadechic]

ooh and the mass production finish looks a lot smoother too!

cant see the slight deformities where the screws were going either.

how many have been received? 1000? is this is? production started after christmas?!

 

[jlepley]

I'm pretty sure those are from the factory.

Whoops, I was referencing the wrong picture. Meant the picture of the top of the base, not the shoulder buttons... my bad.

No, MW has to inspect them first. Then he will give the factory the green light to start the mass production (or not).

I think those photos are made by the chinese just before shipping the samples to MWeston, awaiting for his thumb up. And I personally don't think that those samples have the mass production finish applied on them, but I could be wrong.

Those are still pre-production sample. If there is no problem with those part then they will should start mass producing them.

I really don't know the exact coating on those parts. We've been told that the factory couldn't apply the same finish on small test runs as for the mass production... so it's probably not the same as what will be applied to the final production cases.

 

[renegadechic]

ah okay. its easy to get excited!

MASS PRODUCTION! Let's GO! Let's GO! Let's GO! :lol:

So these pics are from the factory right before shipping to Michael right? So monday or tuesday he will be able to build another small run and green light mass production if possible? Where so close I can taste it. If I get mine before CES, I would love to take it to the show, and parade around with it!

if this happens, i dare you and any other pandora users to stand right next to the stalls of all the other MID, handheld and smartphone stalls and just play on your pandoras for a few hours. just quietly and subversively take it all over. it would be awesome

mass production mass production!

 

[second exodous]

I wonder when Craig will be on to post here?

They do look like they have a 'more even' finish, but I bet it's the same because they can't do the final finish until they do 1000s.

Ohh Mah Gawd!
