Status In Shop.gp2x.de ??

[Jacxz]

I would like to now how you doing over there ED.

Found any LCD probelms or so.
Hows the shipping going? (have you recivied the precious ones)
When do you plan to ship them to us?

Just a bit curious and thought you get alot emails so an answer in the forums would be a nice puplic notice... :blink:

 

[Jarska333]

I've gotten regular emails on the matter, but as my account is borked right now, I'd like an update, aswell.

Few questions, also: I assume the tv-out cables are back-order?

And, have you tried the SD's you sell, whether or not they are compatible, with firmware updating and the likes. (Would be rather embarrasing, if they refused to work with 2X )

And, happen you know, what "batch", or factory run your units are from? There was the first 500 korean "grandma" units, then units to Craig, are these from the same production run, or next one?

i got mine from ED today .. far as i know, he shipped out as many backorders as he could on Saturday, and .. well .. patience, i'd say!

(note: i was enjoying my gp2x this afternoon for hours, until the batteries drained and now it won't boot past the gp2x blackscreen .. gotta try fresh ones i guess..)

 

[Jarska333]

Oh!, I hope he got as far as 159 allready, and I hope the german post is fast...

I've noticed that Shop.gp2x.de does not ship to Italy (it does not appear in the list of countries at the checkout).

Why ?

Will this change in the future ?

Thanks.

 

[Jarska333]

I see to recall Italy having it's own distributor...

 

[EvilDragon]

I'll post an update later tonight, when I can test the firmware update on the flickering units!

 

[greven]

My order has been shiped saturday (i have the number 89). I hope i'll get it soon (well, i am allways told that German are efficient... ^^ ).
ED, if you test the new firmwares, can you explain if we just need to install the newest or all of them.

Lol, don't count on that. Mine was delayed three full days because of lousy 30cm snow (which also caused a huge power blackout in this region, which is just unbelievable).

 

[Jarska333]

It's rather strange... It seems, that western europe is "surprised" by snow every year... Chaos ensues. Learn, people! If history should teach anything to germans, it's "Don't mess with winter!" And "French are sore losers."

And "Beer is good in moderation."

 

[roguetrooper]

Well I'm eagerly awaiting mine, order no. 98 got the e-mail saturday that it has shipped but sods law means the snow has probably messed it up and I bet I'm not home when DHL deliver! Hope they will drop it off at local post office though...

Still this snow has meant sledding which is always fun (with a hot apfelwein of course)

Please let me go on pretending that beer is also good when consumed in large quantities

And there was a funny thing in the news today that those masts, which held the power lines which went down, were designed to endure 3 x their weight in ice cover. But the lines got 10 x their weight in ice cover this weekend and just pulled down the masts. Creepy isn't it? Hasn't happened since they designed these masts after the war and I would submit that they got every right to be surprised. But I bet the Finnish power companies calculate for harsher weather situations out of experience.

This is a telephone line with 12 cm of ice cover. And this is what happened to the above mentioned masts:

 

[Jarska333]

Ah, I think there's a special name for that kind of ice/snow, "freezing rain"...

You do like your beer, don't you...

Mine just arrived (order number 38 customer number 8) I just unpacked it so I haven't tried anything yet but it's here and it's working

Windows XP doesn't see it, haven't tried usb-mon yet. I have a Kingston 1GB card, formatted with my card-reader and everything is working just fine.

Going to play a bit now

I got the confirmation mail on friday so it took four days / two working days. Nothing special in the package, just the GP2X and a small treat (thanks ED )

I think (hope) you'll be quite pleased with it, it looks great IMO and so far everything I tried (MP3, video) is working perfectly.

oooh i just cant wait... aargh
