Judging from the poll results so far, the decision for the new design was right smile.gif

Actually it's sure that "Next Weekend" means this weekend (13rd-14th) because in this week we didn't have any news so now it's the time. tongue.gif



P.S: Ok. This is the last time I write about this argument.

On third thought the curved surface will surely eliminate any possibility of customization by sticker since it would now pucker at the edges. Not sure if that's a bad thing but the logo should be recessed if the aim of this mod is to actually, "make it easier to slip into a pocket or case.". I still don't see it as adding value.

The keypad has not arrived yet so we can't put the whole pandora together, when it arrives you will all know within minutes!

This is the problem of us being open about things, manufacturer tells us '2 weeks', so we tell you '2 weeks', then they miss the estimated time and we look like the lazy bastards.

It's tricky and I can see more and more why other companies might keep quiet.

no, you don't. by reading some individual comments one might get the impression that this is what the majority thinks - but there are 3000+ preorders and just about 10 or so people maximum who voice their very critical opinion. i think most are just overanxious confirming that they really like the pandora.

well, anyway, just wanted to say that probably noone thinks you're lazy, for some the wait is getting on their nerves and probably all of us really like to be informed.

Don't worry Craig. It seems like most of us understand and get tragic little stiffies from any scrap of info.
I'm so pathetic that i just woke up from a dream about watching a documentary on the making of the pandora. Yes really. No wonder i'm single.
Can any of your readers beat that?

If the keypad still isn't here by today, could we see a sneak peek for the final case? It's only the keypad that's holding things up, and a photo or two of the final case would be nice to see.

Like hch said!

A forum is never representative and I've the strong feeling, that most members are happy about every little info regardless if it is positive or negative. The majority of the level-headed members seem to have switched to lurking mode, that leaves far too much room for moaning. But talking about the weather is no solution either biggrin.gif

But please, don't ever change that quality of being open. Dealing with loud people is tough, but the quiet are the ones who will continue to support. It is this quality in which I look forward to in this project and this is the only project that I have supported BECAUSE you are open. I am sure I'm not alone. Thank you for your efforts in dealing with disruptions on both sides.
