Will The Pandora Ever Arrive?

[cd78]

wrong troll is wrong.

why do we get so much of this? i guess the internet is just full of morons

You are the idiot for thinking im a troll. you sad sad person.
YOu only have a few more posts than i do, and im hardly on this forum!!

I bet you have just jumped on the bandwagon in the last few months - and you are about 12 years old!

It's coming, once the final cases arrive the first 100 can be sent out.

Will the first 100 be sent to who ordered them first?
I hope so because I'm in the first 100...

 

[Sphinxter]

Ah the sweet mysteries of life. Questions like that are why I still get up every day.

 

[amf66]

I preordered a month ago so I guess I haven't had to wait as long as most people but I'm still confident that I'll get mine in the mail in the next month or two.

I agree. I hope the first 100 are not shipped out to users. These are the 100 that the factory is digitally beating the snot out of to ensure they hold up. If the expected lifetime of a Pandora is 10 years (before the NAND loses coherency, the CPU starts heating up, things start breaking), the ones coming out will probably only last 8. Both numbers and all "facts" created by anal extraction, so take them with a grain of salt, but you should get what I mean.

Someone please correct me if i'm wrong, but is this 100 part of the 105 that mweston mentioned probably wouldn't leave the factory for a while because they were going to be rigorously tested?

Edit :- Thanks WizardStan, you answered my question whilst i was typing it

 

[Squidge]

didn't we have a poll about the first 100 a while back? with some people saying they want there paid for pandora ASAP, and others saying they should go to developers?

 

[ScottChegg]

Will the Pandora arrive? Well I put £279 and 70 pence of my hard earned sterling on a pre order in late June after following the project from the initial pre order back in Sept. I still ordered even after seeing all the problems the team have had. Why? Its not because im loaded and can afford to lose nearly 280 squid, its because i actually trust the OP team and at the end of the day (god i hate that expression) they have a LOT more at stake than me. So yes im sure the pandora will arrive, but when? I dont want to jinx it with my guesstimate

Just because you disagree with someone doesn't make them a troll, nor does it make them a moron. It's understandable that after this amount of delay time people would be skeptical.
such a thing, and I'm sure a lot of companies have noticed that.

you know, you have a fair point, however considering the stage we are at now and the plethora of news on the devices production, it is a fairly ignorant thing to say and yes maybe i was harsh but then

You are the idiot for thinking im a troll. you sad sad person.

maybe i wasn't being harsh

since when did post volume count for anything? so i dont feel i have much to add on this forum, so what. i post occasionally but most of the time i am happy and thrilled to watch the great things going on here. my pre-order has been in since the first day, which incidentally is irrelevant anyway, because there is plenty of news stating where the project is at. there is genuinely virtually no reason for thinking that it wont happen. creating yet another threat going on about a device you havent even ordered, without 5 minutes of research of whats going on, in my book, makes someone a moronic troll. frankly i am disappointed someone hasnt been here to lock this thread already.

 

[supaimposter]

Are there any more pandora's for pre order (maybe a cancelation or something) if so i would be interested.

There might be.
According to www.openpandora.org:

When and where can I buy it?
There are a small number of Pandoras left from the first batch - if you are interested in buying one please email openpandorasales@gmail.com.

OT - why does page 2 of this thread make my browser crash?

I don't think it's a browser problem, after all that part of the thread is in flames.

 

[hobbyman II]

as a Linux user, I have to ask, what is this "crash" you speak of.......

prolly cos you are using Internet Explorer under Windows?

install Firefox and use a secure, standards compliant browser instead.

better yet, install Linux and reclaim your machine.

note: Linux does not support several common and popular programs/features available to Windows, for example most antivirus, windows update, bitdefender, drwatson, drive defragmenter, media drm manager, unstable networking, BSOD, system lockups, spyware, adware, security holes, web script exploits..... etc, it does compensate somewhat by supplying most of its software for free.

 

[Exophase]

Okay, who ordered the Linux evangelist ;p

BTW, Firefox 3.09 (ran in Ubuntu) crashes on me ALL THE TIME. I think it's flash video causing it though.

:rolleyes: wow - think i'll stick to the gp2x part of this forum, seems like a totally different place! :lol:

 

[pawprints]

Odd, my computer said "Tape Loading Error please rewind tape and try again" Must be because I'm using a moron128 with troller load.

Maybe you should use firefox? Linux is great but for me doesn't have to cutting edge creative software (just yet.)

As for the calling people morons bit.. well everyone has an opinion and in fairness it has been nearly 12 months in the waiting.. I mean even human babies pop out quicker than the pandora will. Lets hope we don't have lots of screaming and tantrums once the pandora is born. But .... I'm sure we will have the sleepless nights.

Then we'll have Craig promoting attachable human nubs (actually you know this might just work).

Peace and pandora!

I placed an order on Monday (8/17), so likely yes. Email them per instructions in middle column of http://openpandora.org/ and they'll answer questions on availability, price, etc... and prepare an order for you if that all works out.
