Weekly Pyra Preorder Stats


The oak is an ancient tree, it's year three!

Code:
Year 3 (01/05/18-01/05/19):   -21 preorders (1118-1097)
Year 2 (01/05/17-01/05/18):    63 preorders (1055-1118)
Year 1 (01/05/16-01/05/17):  1055 preorders (0-1055)

Seems I didn't actually make a year two post after threatening to make it. Year two was more preorders than cancellations, and year three has been the other way round.

So, the breakdown for year two was:
Standard units: +3 4GB units, +1 2GB unit
US cellular units: +27 4GB units, -3 2GB units
Euro cellular units: +31 4GB units, +4 2GB units

and the breakdown for year three is:
Standard units: -4 4GB units
US cellular units: -1 4GB unit
Euro cellular units: -15 4GB units, -1 2GB unit

Seems our US-cellular users are more faithful with their investments than us EU-cellular users. That's perhaps not so surprising; as far as I've heard the US economy is doing pretty well compared to Europe, and perhaps those in the US who heard about this German product made a bigger statement in the first place by preordering it.

A seemingly straight forward week; on Sunday afternoon the cancellation of two EU-cellular 4GB parts was processed. But, twist! On Wednesday evening someone preordered a 4GB EU-cellular unit. Unfortunately, twist back, two non-cellular 4GB RAM units were cancelled on Saturday evening followed by two US-cellular 4GB units.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: -2 4GB units
US cellular units: -2 4GB units
Euro cellular units: -1 4GB units (-2+1)

I have lost track of whether ED has sent out any new prototypes, or was waiting for the cases with lugs and somewhat improved shoulder buttons to arrive. But I still hope that once that does happen people will start to get stoked about this project again.
 
Glass half empty: @levi , can I return half-eaten apples?
Glass half full: sweet, I go up 5 spots in the pre-order queue!

Meanwhile, a prototype has been given to these two enthusiastic beta-testers. They said they will help with robustness testing. Something about a hammer and anvil.

Sorry to ruin it for you, but that's not even guarenteed.

It's also a very depressing trend (in both senses), and whilst much progress has been made, even I'm close to cancelling. I don't use my Pandora anymore and I rarely boot my GPD Pocket. The key features still for me are the GPS and Phone... but as I use WhatsApp and HERE maps, and something like a LineageOS or other AOSP based phone is seeming like a better option as it'll allow me to continue to use those.
Gaming-wise I can always tag on a bluetooth controller, or take my ODROID-GO, or even get (or make, if I get enough time) a cheap GameboyZero.
 
I was half thinking of creating a poll to gauge the feelings of most Pyra forum users are re the Pyra (i.e. excited, happy, disappointed, patient, cold feet / apprehensive, etc) but feel like it might be a bad idea at the moment... (too much pressure on ED and may end up rather unconstructive).

I do feel that this final stretch is the most testing of patience. It's just niggling bits and pieces that are left (millimetre adjustments to the case, case colour, how to produce the heatsink, software) although topics that have flooded the forums for years now...

I'm still excited though, for what it's worth. As before though, prototypes are key, and I'm curious what is preventing them to be sent immediately unless ED's wanting most/all fixes in place before doing so.
 
GPS and Phone
I pre-ordered a librem5, a bit of a race between them and the Pyra. (both slow projects). But I'm more idealistic than practical (carrying a Nokia dumb-phone, a Navigation GPS and a Pandora where ever I go). As such, I did not buy alternatives like the many other machines that were announced later than Pyra, but launched before the Pyra release. I did drool at them, a bit, until I read user reviews.

@ClockworkCoder I agree. I also think the results won't be that positive, we need the pre-order people to create momentum for the second batch (or ED will stay in debt). The last stretch is the last 80% of the project.
Exited? Yeah, still am! But then again, I still use the Pandora on a daily basis. So much so, that my colleagues ask where the Pandora is when I leave it at home. I preordered a few Pyra's, for the family. For me it's annoying when they want to use MY device...
Also, the Pyra for me will be comfortable, as a Debian/Devuan user. I also like the fatness of the Pyra, for me it's like an anti-fashion statement (functionality over form). Too bad the e-ink did not happen. And when the metal logo's get sold (as one forum user was willing to make), I'll get one.

Sorry to ruin it for you, but that's not even guaranteed.
Hey, it COULD happen, I am a very late pre-orderer. Half full, remember.

A quiet week; no action until yesterday afternoon when ED processed two US-cellular 4GB cancellations, and later that night someone preordered a 4GB EU cellular unit. And earlier today someone preordered a standard, non-cellular 4GB unit before a cancellation came in fifteen minutes later and was processed more or less immediately; I wonder if someone ordered the wrong unit and may be back later.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: no change (+1-1 4GB)
US cellular units: -2 4GB units
Euro cellular units: +1 4GB units

So, ED has built a good half dozen prototype developer units using the sloppy clear cases with broken shoulder buttons, and is holding on to them while he works on the best way to test them all quickly.

He is keeping those units for developers and is waiting on better cases being produced before sending the prototype preorders out.
 
Yeah, it's a little awkward that there are prototype preorders, yet I need to call these units going out to developers something else. In my experience, prototype comes after mockup and before alpha, beta and release candidate, but these prerelease developer units clearly aren't mockups so I call them developer prototypes (as opposed to prototype preorders), but I can see how that's compromised terminology.

So take, these broken nubs. And learn to prototype, learn Godot and C
When we hear, the forum ping. We refresh the browser and read Pyra news for free.
Yeah Yeah...

Baby, I don't understand
why I can't just hold a Pyra in each one of my hands?
This time, may be the last, I fear.
Unless I can preorder a Pyra's case that's clear
I need it soo o oo oh.

A busier week this time, starting on Saturday evening US time (but after midnight EU time, so it counts as being this week rather than last), when someone preordered a 4GB US-cellular unit. Then we fast-forward to Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, when someone preordered a 4GB EU-cellular unit. This was relatively short-lived however, because on Thursday morning ED processed the cancellation of two 4GB EU-cellular units. On Friday morning however, we received some good news when someone preordered a 4GB non-cellular unit.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: +1 4GB unit
US cellular units: +1 4GB unit
Euro cellular units: -1 4GB unit (+1-2)

I wonder if this marks a local minima, suggesting this is where we are to stop at this point pre-release. I'm sure things will pick up once people can show their prototype units actually doing stuff, but it still feels to me like we've still a fair way to go yet.
 
I was half thinking of creating a poll to gauge the feelings of most Pyra forum users are re the Pyra (i.e. excited, happy, disappointed, patient, cold feet / apprehensive, etc) but feel like it might be a bad idea at the moment... (too much pressure on ED and may end up rather unconstructive).
I'm not about to cancel my (pre-)preorder, but this project (together with the Talos II which shipped 8 instead of 4 months after preorder acceptance IIRC) has made me VERY wary of preordering anything in the next few years …

I pre-ordered over a dozen different things via Kickstarter and Indiegogo and Pandor and Pyra. The most consistent thing is that all of them are 'late'. 'Late' is nothing unusual in these, 'lets fund together and build X' projects. What is unusual is for one to continue on more than a year without outright failing. That part does make the Pyra (and Pandora) unusual. In many ways the continuance of the project shows the determination of both ED and the community and the pre-orders. We still want the Pyra to happen - and succeed.
 
definitely don't give money to preorders unless you can afford to lose it. what i appreciate about the Pyra, that i can't about other devices that i get, is that it will be supported many years into the future. every month it will become a better device, i.e. with more ports and more games to try out. other devices are as good as they'll get when you get them. and then when the new-car smell fades out, you wonder why you got it in the first place....

We kick off on last Monday morning, early hours with the cancellation of a 4GB standard non-cellular unit, but that very evening that was undone by someone preordering a 4GB EU-cellular unit. And then on Thursday, a preorder for a US cellular unit with 4GB of RAM came in as well, rounding out the week.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: -1 4GB unit
US cellular units: +1 4GB unit
Euro cellular units: +1 4GB unit

Pay back one euro, get paid three*; I like that maths

To be fair, I can't remember the relative prices of the different pyras off the top of my head, and can't be bothered to look right now, so my ratios might be off).
 
Something seems to have gone wrong with the stats I use, probably because of the source they use. They're currently showing that people have preordered -2 US 2G units, which obviously isn't true. It does that because it uses the remaining stock on the shop pages to record how many units are left versus the original allocation of 2000 of all of them. The US 2G page is currently showing that 2002 are remaining, which leads to that.

So, what to take from this? Has ED refunded two people preorders for those units when they never actually ordered them? Or has he added two preorderable units to stock for some reason, and the stats pages are misinterpreting that? Curiouser and curiouser.

Edit: Maybe I should flag @EvilDragon. He's the only one of us who can answer this definitively I guess.
