Small typo in the blog:
" Now, it if you’re coming... "

Everything seems to go well thus far
Can we expect a photo from the PCB of the finalized Pinebook Pro with the next batch?

Looks good, I looking forward to the release :-)

There is a mention of not releasing the PinePhone until there is an OS ready for it. I ask, why wait for that? Why not sell it with a caveat of no OS is ready, if that is the case when the phone is ready for delivery?

I am sure many techies (including me) would love to get their hands on it even if an OS is not ready. It may even encourage some to make their own.

Its tricky ... we may end up doing that and call it something to the effect of "early adopter edition"

Thanks for the response on this, and consideration. This phone is a huge deal! I wanted something alternative to Apple and Android (as many others do). The only response has been forks of Android, and a few other Linux based phone OS which are limited to function only on a few old cellphones.

The release (estimated) of this would be perfect timing as I have been holding on to Windows Mobile 10, and support for it ends come December 31.

Excited for the pinebook pro! Will there ever be ANSI keyboard option?

The first two Pinebook Pro batches will be ISO keyboard and currently evaluating on ANSI type.
