What do you think about a "shipping time" thread, where people can post when they ordered and when they received their PinePhone?
I see the value of a 'Shipping Time" thread as a rather crude way of showing lead times - I don't intend it to be something to be used as a "hurry up and ship" type of thread/post.
I've used/seen these in a number of applications, mainly dealing with US government wait times on licensing.
You are, of course, welcome to start one. However, when you receive your PinePhone is not dictated by when you order, but rather the region you live in. As you know, PinePhones are shipped in batches, so - as an example - when the US portion of a batch ships, it is likely that the 1st person and 1001st person ordering from the US will get their units at the same time.
The reason for the shipping update threads is to unburden support and provide everyone with up-to-date information on shipping status. If you think that a shipping time thread is of any value to further unburden support, and is of value to end users, then go right ahead.
