I too emailed the web shop (and a FIC employee whom I saw popup on the community list) and got an instant reply + quite a number of correspondences since (and a your credit card has been charged message!).<BR>
<BR>
Go OpenMoko!<BR>

<FONT COLOR="#000000">It does not take a genius to work out that with 2000+ orders, that they are not going to be able to meet orders. </FONT><BR>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">This needs to be communicated to potential developers in a timely fashion, not once the guy sticking the labels on realises that he's out of boxes. </FONT><BR>

<FONT COLOR="#000000">I do agree with Ian. My ticket no was over 3500 after 4 days from OpenMoko Shop opening. I belive that it has a least doubled. So as soon they received over 1000 extra orders they should run next batch at Factory. But we can assume that they didn't. </FONT><BR>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">I agree that OpenMoko is very important project and we all have to be patient but there are some basic market rules that have to be obeyed. Some of people who are not patient enough will just spend their money on iPhone or other concurrent product and will leave OpenMoko. Still besides OpenMoko's euphoria there's a great commercial deal for FIC which is still *the only one* OpenMoko's platform manufacturer. And FIC should have more respect to people who are involved in OpenMoko and still interrested in buying their phone.</FONT><BR>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">Other aspect is that the more NEO's will spread throught the world the faster OpenMoko will be developed. </FONT><BR>
