Strawp Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 March? I haven't been told that. As far as I'm aware the majority of shipping will be done in January if everything goes to plan. Ace! I was just trying to manage my own expectations given I didn't have much else to go on. Hopefully I'll have mine before my hols in Feb then.

SqueakyG Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I've been nipping back in to check on this every once in a while. Hang on... they're still at a concept art stage? Has a real-life genuine version ever been photographed? Has there ever been a handheld device that existed as concept art for so long without ever being real?

Strawp Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Jesus. Is this going to hold things up again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngchol Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Jesus. Is this going to hold things up again? This is now sounding really dodgy. If Craig didn't have such a good rep I'd just assume it was a scam. But then, Bernard Madoff had a good rep... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, Bernard Madoff had a good rep... Surely this would be the most incompetent least successful scam ever conceived? Don't think it should delay things any more.

zektbach Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I've been very interested in this for quite a while now but to be honest, the only one thing that is stopping me paying and making me think "they could make a tidy sum of money right now by just nipping off with it all", is the fact that I still haven't seen one video of a final product running and doing what it should do, showing off all the features and showing that the thing actually works properly.

gingerling Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thank god I cancelled! It sounds like a right cock up. I had such high hopes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawp Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 If I get a G1 I think I might cancel, possibly reorder if/when this thing materialises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawp Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Well, I got my G1 last Friday and there's too much overlap with this puppy TBH. I'm out. Might re-order if/when it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debsss Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Sorry I haven't posted an update fo a while, things are very busy here. Just a note to let you know that there is now a cut off date for re-ordering, so if anyone hasn't yet re-ordered who does want to re-order (by the sounds of things none of you) then you should do so within the next 7 days.

des Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Right, so as to demonstrate a bit of positivity/stupidity, I've just set-up a bank transfer and am currently waiting for the authorisation text before forwarding the money. This whole thing may end up being a very poorly planned confidence scam but I really don't think it is and I'd like them to be able to make a go of what they're trying to do.

des Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 That's me just had the reception of my payment confirmed. Is anyone else on here still going for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunrock Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 No, I never had the money, but now I have a little, I'm harbouring a desire to get one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm getting married in five weeks time so probably don't really have the money either. I've justified it by the fact that I still have the £207 credit sitting on my credit card from when I originally made the purchase. That and the fact my missus to be is spending £600 on a frock that'll only get worn for a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunrock Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Risky Des, very risky! The wife will want to know why you haven't saved that for a rainy day! So, is there anyone here who has one on preorder but needs the cash or has got cold feet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentient Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Current estimates suggest a May release, gloomy forecast if ever there was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Current estimates suggest a May release, gloomy forecast if ever there was one. So I have to wait 3 months to find out I've been ripped off? Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, is there anyone here who has one on preorder but needs the cash or has got cold feet? I will wait until there is something out there to actually buy. I'm still interested, but the amount of time it's taking to get released, I may as well keep the money in the bank accruing that fat interest for me () instead of handing it over. It's probably the bank's faults but 6 months is just silly, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonfool Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 So I have to wait 3 months to find out I've been ripped off? Bummer. No, I can settle that one for you now. You haven't been ripped off. Language like 'ripped off' isn't helpful at all. Surely that's only designed to irk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
