Slashgear article


Also the article gives the (false) idea that the Pandora cost is $499.


Edit: ops, sorry, looks like that's true...

I think engadget pretty much summed it up on how most of us feel...

That extra $150 sounds like quite the surcharge, but it's an option if you simply can't wait for your number to come up, and OpenPandora chief Craig Rothwell tweets that some portion of those monies will help support the project. Still, those extra units have to come from somewhere, and if you've been standing in line for months, we imagine you won't happy to hear that some rich kid can just swoop in and buy your Pandora out from under you without a care in the world.

Speak for yourself. Engaget fail to realise this is the price the Pandora has to be in order for the project to survive!

Thats a nice graph, but as I understand it there was not a unlimited pandora supply, so while build speed might not slow down, they might take pandoras from the end of the queue to give them to premium buyers eventually bringing the normal queue to a halt till they produce more parts.


Either way, I've waited enough and this, coupled with the 3DS, NGP and specially, PlayStation certified android cellphones have made me cancel my order. I've run it through my mind several times now and theres nothing that can't be accomplished with a playstation phone that can be done with the pandora. Perfect gaming controls, fits in pocket, build quality, open android platform.


I'm not trying to be rude or anything, its just that some people have limits. In the time I have waited for the pandora so much has changed in my life I don't think I have the time for something as niche as this, think ill stick to mainstream for now.


I wish the OP team good luck.


Good bye
