Congratulations to all of you who are finally getting your shipment confirmations. I hope you all enjoy your Pandoras.
There's certainly plenty of things to try out - I hope you've decided what to do first.

in case you dont find out, let me know how long it takes to get it in ohio as thats where mine will be shipping.....someday....some looooong happy dayTom` said:If any other Ohioans are reading this, how long did it take yours to get here from the time you got your e-mails?
I didn't pay extra - wasn't it like $50 for UPS? I guess I can get along for another ten days or so... I've avoided shooting myself so far, at least, though it's been difficult.

I emailed debs ( Who has been brilliant through this) 2 weeks ago and asked if I would be in the 350 boards and she said I was right at the end of them so would be end of the 350 or start of the next ones, i guess the extra 200 boards solved that for me,

WOW, that was a long wait. But technically, they just got the new boards recently, so it wasn't to bad. Jackie had me wait to send mine back. I'm guessing she knew they couln't do anything until the new boards arrived, so she had me wait until the new year. My unit got to them 2 days ago, so hopefully I'll get a return email soon.

I upgraded to the ups shipping and got it within 3 days, worth it for me. I believe I remember people within a 1 state radius waiting about 2 weeks to get it by standard mail at the time. There's also the customs I was worried about, which ups handles better than usps. Namely they pay any customs required on your behalf and then just collect it from you when they deliver to your door, whereas usps waits for you to make arrangements to pay the customs before the package moves another inch. At least that was my understanding of it about 7 months ago...
btw, congrats to all the proud new Pandora owners

So what are the major advantages a new Pandora would have over the first batch? If nubs/other hardware broke on a first batch Pandora it could be repaired under warranty anyway. Is there anything else in particular? I guess the bumpy bezel at the lower part of the screen has been fixed? (Which I believe was a problem for most first batch units?)

I dont believe the bezel issue has been fixed as of yet. They are still using the same molds for now and probably will do for batch 2 pandoras aswell. There are some fixes/tweaks in the planning stages. Main advantage is the new nubs being way more durable according to tests and the fact zero have been found as defective at present. Lcd cables have the benefit of hindsight and a tool to place them better, plus possibly a slight redesign to make them more sturdy. Though that maybe planned not implemented at this point too (?)
Well, I believe the bezel issue was only a problem due to the shielding material they had to put around the LCD ribbon to keep the radiation numbers down. They are now using new ribbons, but I don't know if the bezel is still present or not. The case was fine until the extra material was added, and that's what causes the problem. The shoulder buttons have been improve, which was my only real complaint, so that is good. Last of course is the nubs which have been greatly improved, and well tested. A better and more solid unit all around.

The bezel is unrelated to the cable. It's suspected to be a result of the paint and some shrinkage. The bezel bowing issue is still there in varying degrees on new ones being shipped, according to the reviews: some people have no issue, others see it straight away, same as before.jumpman said:
The LCD ribbon is believed to be responsible for the left side of the lid still being up ever so slightly when it is closed. I don't know if they are actually using the new cables or if that was still being discussed, but either way at least one review has pointed out the lid is still lifted slightly on the side when it's closed.

Been a while since i visited the forum, but my replacement pandora apparently arrived at my mothers house today (Don't trust my neighbors here)
So seems ill be visiting here again.
I sent mine back in september / oktober i believe, long time ago anyway. Nice to have it back.
Hopefully i'll also be motivated to work on Panjoust again
Cheers!

Yep, it's present on mine, but it's not noticeable - stands out less than 1mm from the screen.
