Preorders Have Started. (Previously named starts in two hours)


Nice! 600 preorders, over 100 of them are US ones, not that it matters now with the frame contract.

I like that phrase too, frame contract. Something nice about how it sounds.
 
I don't think that'll be a problem, unless there actually is a problem, like it turns out they won't actually work reasonably well on any network.

And the constant re-statement of this fear is likely negatively impacting the sales of the US 4G option. This is likely to be an ongoing theme until a US 4G Pyra can be tested on one or more US mobile phone networks.

I'm in line for a US 4G paid prototype. I'm the last in line (#8) for a paid prototype, though I'm not sure that is as lock-ordered as the pre-pre-orders. However, this also means that DragonBox has my money on account for the value of a Pyra prototype.

If a US 4G prototype can be sent to me, even if as a 'temporary' one that I would need to return AND a set of AT commands that would validate operation, I can put an AT&T SIM card into it, run the scripts and report back to @EvilDragon.

I do not have an account with T-mobile and they do not have much of a presence in my area - no stores or towers. So, I cannot check against that one without additional planning and logistics. Not impossible, but I might need to plan more for that. However, if it works on AT&T, then it SHOULD work on T-mobile.

At the end of my testing, I would then ship the test Pyra prototype back to EvilDragon and continue to wait for my prototype in turn.

Would that help?
 
I am not concerned about it not working. I figure if the company makes modules that only work in the US they would make them right. If not I suspect a lawsuit would follow (not that I know much about business law in Europe).

@Grench just wants to get his hands on a Pyra even sooner. :p
 
Yes, that would be bad. Probably a bit expensive for just GPS and sensors.

It's probably worth it, for the convenience of using it just once, with a prepaid SIM picked up while travelling somewhere.

3G would be good enough for my needs, but may as well future-proof the devices by supporting 4G - I expect to be still using it in many years, it won't be thrown away and replaced after a year like typical phones.
 
Woo, 600 total preorders get! That's a third of a way towards an 1800 target in 10 days!

Also, US sales have ticked over to 101 4GB 4G and 1 2G unit, making 102 4G US units.

Hello, good morning, Do you know, more or less, how to get to the humor?

 
The tenth 24 hours of pre-orders is now up.

It seems we got :

350 Pre-orders the first 24 hours (350)
79 Pre-orders in the second 24 hours. (429)
49 Pre-orders in the third 24 hours (478) (Some double up Pre-orders were removed though)
29 Pre-orders in the fourth 24 hours (507)
18 Pre-orders in the fifth 24 hours (525)
26 Pre-orders in the sixth 24 hours (551)
12 Pre-orders in the seventh 24 hours (563)
10 Pre-orders in the eight 24 hours (573)
17 Pre-orders in the ninth 24 hours (590)
11 Pre-orders in the tenth 24 hours (601)

Note: Daily figures also include converted Pre Pre-orders. As such , actual new pre-orders would be a little less than quoted figures.
 
Yeah, but do you see a problem with selling 500 US units within a Year? Perhaps I'm also too optimistic.
I would switch mine over to a 4g one if it would help make things go quicker. I just didn't see the need in my eyes for it but if would help others that wanted one out I do it
 
I have to side with my girl on this one. Also, deconstructing jokes is often more fun and funny. My preferences in humor are quite atypical, though, and I am usually not amused by most comedy. Most people completely miss my jokes or find them to be in very poor taste. That just amuses me even more. :D

According to the IRC conversation about the frame contract, we should be fine.
 
Ahhh what? We lost orders?
