Only KS backers get those update e-mails. But now that they're selling to people who are not necessarily backers we don't have any clue what is going on.
They have not sold any boards to anyone except kickstarter backers. The only reason they opened the shop like... Yesterday, was because people were asking for it. [Whoever writes the e-mails] Said that he will not be doing anything with those orders until ALL of the kickstarter stuff has been shipped out and has had a vacation. (Joking about the vacation.)
I'm sorry to make you sound like the bad guy, but if you're not a kickstarter backer then you're not going to be receiving your board until probably september so there's no point e-mailing them unless its important and your question cannot be answered here. The pine64 crew is doing the best they can, and wasting time answering e-mails that could have found their answer here or in the newsletter is silly.
If you (And anyone else) PM me your e-mail, I'll forward all of the kickstarter e-mails to you. Including new ones, if I get the chance. That way you'll be able to catch up on goings on. When you signed up for backerkit or whatever store they're using that should have also signed you up for their newsletter (imo). Again though, you wouldn't have gotten the old e-mails, that had an entire paragraph about how frustrated the team was because they were working really hard, but many people were sending angry e-mails or showing up at their door step because they don't have their boards yet. Barely a quote but similar meaning: "I should be happy at my success, instead due to all the pressure/stress I feel like jumping off a bridge".
