Will The Pandora Ever Arrive?

[Monk]

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

Hope you get one mate ill keep my fingers crossed for you

im guessing the one i got was someone else's cancellation.

There does not seem to be any shortage of units available from the first batch.

I can't see it ever arriving tbh.

Its how many weeks (or years) overdue now? I was interested at first, but now only check back to see if people still believe this thing will be released.

To be honest, anyone buying this device will still have to carry two gadgets around, (this and a phone), so I see little to no advatange to the PandorA over a fnacy new smartphone + a DS.

Dude, the first 100 boards are made and the case mould creation is underway - it's practically just around the corner.

Heh, also he hasn't been following the Pandaphone project.

 

[atomicthumbs]

Pantora will NEVER ship.Crag ix took your money and ron! He are an scam asrstist!

Edit:

Team Fortress 2 has been "in production" for nine years I can't see it ever arriving

To quote a recent thread:

Nice update. So when the hell am I getting my Pandora? Surely the project has progressed enough that you have a fixed date in mind.

Not really
It's still depending on so much things. If we were a proper company, we'd say December, as then everything that could theoretically happen AND some safety time to DOUBLE ensure nothing could go wrong would have to be added

We prefer to continue as fast as we can and deliver as fast as we can. That could be September, that could be October.
But it surely will be

I am expecting to receive mine in December. Any date earlier than that is a treat for me

I thought 100 untis are going to be tested....but some mould thing is first, that also takes 30 days.

"some mould thing"? Really?

Pfft, molds!
Back in my day, we hand-carved our game consoles out of Egyptian granite and it was STILL cheaper AND more durable than plastic!

Damn that Moses, so hard to get good game carving slaves now.

+1. I'm expecting for SOME people to get theirs by November, but I was further down the list so I'm guessing Dec / maybe Jan for mine. Back in June when craigix said "I'm prepared to say July", I said "Well then I'll give him half a year extra on that one." So if no one has gotten one by end of January I'll get a refund. But that's extremely unrealistic now.

Has no one yet commented on the oddity of this statement? If you're carrying two devices, wouldn't you rather carry a phone and a Pandora than a phone and a DS?

 

[Prometheus]

Actually, I must admit that I don't quite see why I should need to buy a phone in order to carry a Pandora...

 

[gruso]

I'm carrying a phone and a DS right now. It's not helping. Then again, my phone isn't all that fnacy.

 

[lulzfish]

If either my phone or my DS had actual Internet or an SSH client or anything even resembling useful software...

I'm expecting the Pandora to pleasure it's end users around the time hell freezes over...

Have seen so many dates and estimates about it now

I'd rather caryy an axe and a shotgun. The movies have taught me that's a good survival strategy.

 

[valhalla]

No, for freezing $330 EACH in OpenPandora Ltd's bank accounts for up to 9 months to enable the Pandora devs to complete the device in the first place. Imagine the interest they'd have had to pay if they had taken a bank loan instead of taking preorders...

Actually, most of the time said money was probably
* frozen by the bank (in the beginning)
* back in the accounts / on the cards of buyers (how long did most of the people wait to pay back when they were reimbursed?)
* used to pay for components / pandora work

anyway, pandora will arrive in exactly two months, as usual

Yup, expecting by Christmas. Anything earlier is sweet. Hopefully they can ship the US/Canada ones from within the US/Canada.

It is frustrating, but what to do? Either ask for a refund and hope there is a second batch or just wait the standard "two more months"

Surely we can find a way to vent the frustration in the meantime. Craigix is an easy target.
