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


With the new numbers I have from ED, it looks more like 86% with prepreorder money.

In short (resulting from a much more complex calculation), I interpreted that ED is basically aiming for 950 preorders to produce the first batch, not 750, putting it at 75%... would be great to see more detail on your page though.

Maybe it could take a month to get there. But it leaves time to work on other things like the software while we wait.

And the US to EU ratio among the 4 GB LTE units is back to 1:3 exactly. Highly suspicious, I say. Highly suspicious.
 
What s the meaning of the unclaimed 65 pre preorders? Will the first batch of 1000 start if we reach 750 including those 65 or without them?
 
The 15th 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)
9 Pre-orders in the eleventh 24 hours (610) - Note , the number would have been higher, however a number of duplicate orders were removed.
11 Pre-orders in the 12th 24 hours (621)
8 Pre-orders in the 13th 24 hours (629)
16 Pre-orders in the 14th 24 hours (645)
10 Pre-orders in the 15th 24 hours (655)

Note: Daily figures also include converted Pre Pre-orders. As such , actual new pre-orders would be a little less than quoted figures.

It means we haven't paid the difference between the prepreorder price and the preorder price of the model we want. As for how ED plans to deal with us, no clue. He said our number was safe, although I don't know what that means if we don't pay for the preorder soon (I sent him a PM to him related to this subject). I thought the idea was the same, you don't have to pay the rest until it is ready to ship, but not sure how to tell him in a way that wouldn't require faith and trust by him in us. Maybe he will just hold onto the SN sticker for us.
[doublepost=1463352158,1463352037][/doublepost]Oh, didn't ED increase the required number of preorders required for a 1000 unit first batch from 750 to 880 or something?
 
Like I said (I just went to find it). I guess I tried to grab a number somewhere in the middle.
 
Thanks for the link

So whats this about a new touch screen. What does the new touch screen offer that's an improvement over the current touchscreen?. Is it just the flyscreen effect thing?
 
So at the current rate of sales we might reach the lower end of that range in twenty days. Thus, roughly the second week of June.

I don't know where I read it, but didn't part delivery take roughly 8 weeks? I hope I remember that wrong, otherwise parts would arrive early august at best. Holiday period, setup production, Testing, Production, Assembly, Testing, Fix problems, and shipping,... It's going to be quite a wait again guys.

I believe the current one was grainy. Naturally, the expected fix didn't work.
 
So the simple replacement of the touch layer did not fix the grainyness as ED hoped?
