Should I have received my final order eMail already?

The Auspicious Machine never hit the market, or did it?

As far as I know, there was no more news, so we don't know if it will be going or it is dead. Don't forget it was for Chinese market, so it could be it is going and we don't know of it.

I expect the pyra keyboard to be the best on the marked, but never could have tried one.

The best of those devices we can't but nor order

BTW we can buy Pyra keymat:

Pyra Replacement Keymat (Clean keys)

A replacement keymat for your Pyra.

dragonbox.de

plus a prototype case:

Pyra Case Set (Prototype - Grey)

A replacement shell for the Pyra from an earlier prototype production run

dragonbox.de

It is not the same than a function unit, but it could give some idea about usage according to keys/case size.

Yeah, they are like this... even while waiting for the PIQO on INDIEGOGO they were telling absolutely nothing, people for months shouted at the scam, reviews and blogs around the internet were telling the same, everyone wanted the money back, seemed like an Apocalypse... and at some point they silently delivered.

Things i bought:
2016 Pyra
2019 Fxtec Pro1
2023 uConsole
Still have no mobile device with a good keyboard at home since my N900 broke, as i just dont get a single device delivered.
As my order number is >600, i dont think to ever get a pyra now, as i dont see a second batch coming.
So i think about creating my own...

Maybe you should buy a used N900. Just make sure you have GSM or 3G available in your area. E.g. it seems like in the Netherlands 3G is gone in some places. The N900 is a fine phone. You are worth it (I presume (if not, then improve yourself before getting an N900)).

Hi.

Is everyone fine ?

I've heard of floodings in Bavaria, including Ingolstadt workers unable to get to work in some factories.

Is everything fine or are there Pyra cases and mainboards floating on the Danube ?

Hoping everyone and families are safe.

Everything is fine.
As I know, ED lives near the main station and there are no flood.
People in Germany are helping themself very well. Don't worry.

Have faith, it'll come. ED is now doing this at a loss, yet he is still delivering Pyrae. Nobody would do that if they intended giving up on something. He has proved himself to be an amazing person, just perhaps a little over stretched.

I hope so, I think I'm in the same boat

I ordered in 4/2021. No email beyond the acknowledgement of the preorder. I'm assuming I should have done something that I have yet to do (i.e., my fault). What do I need to do in order to get my unit?

Thanks!

Jim

ED updates the first post when he has more units available.

Your unit shouid be ready if you have placed your order before 05/02/2016

He is still working on orders from 2016. Your 2021 order will be a while.

Sheesh, mine is from 24/10/2016

I think that first post might be out of date. I'm sure he's sent more units since then, which I think he had mentioned on discord...

My order was early 2016 (only days after the limit on the first post) and I still didn't get mine.
So yes. It will take some time.

 

[pyrat]

I know most people here know, but in case some don't know...

Most orders were in the first days, because the project was open and some people knew what was being prepared and were waiting for it long before it was possible to order, so they all ordered a little while after.
Thinking about linear time is wrong. There are a lot of orders in the beginning and then a fast falling curve ...

No worries - I went through the Pandora process as well. I just hadn't checked in a while. Thanks for all the replies!

My N900 already died, was the best phone i ever had. But today i think its outdated.
Decided to get a Gpd micro pc now, as it fits my needs nearly perfect. Keyboard is better than expected an Linux runs fine.

IMO there are only a few problems caused by the N900 being old:
- No 4G (but where I live this is no problem at all yet because both 3G and 2.5G are available)
- No modern SSL, so many websites do not work (but the Maemo Wiki does and that is all you need)
- Old Anki, makes getting decks from Ankiweb a pain

Actually, there is work being done on a new OS for the N900, Maemo 7 (Leste), which solves at least the SSL problem. Though last time I tried it it worked so poorly that I still went back to good old Fremantle.

But the N900 is still pretty powerful. It can actually run Tux Racer pretty fast. That means it is Tux Racer complete in addition to being Turing Complete. To put this into perspective, even the Game Boy Color cannot run Tux Racer (I think)!

UPS just mailed me to remind that the price I paid was without tax
2 months is now officially 2 days.
(Ordered at ~day 1, but was slow to confirm my order and missed the last batch of cases)

Enjoy your Pyra once it arrives and don't hesitate to ask any question here

Hi ED and folks. I am away from the community for some years.
I need to know: is still possible to order (and receive) a Pyra?

Orders have been stopped whilst ED works through his backlog.
Devices have been going out but progress has been much slower than anticipated.

 

[Legodude522]

I appreciate the updates. Still waiting on mine. Order date of 23 March 2020.
