More Information on your Shipment Date - Read if you are in the 29th Batch

I just got this wonderful email from Notion Ink and now will be contacting my Credit Card company to cancel my order! I am also relatively sure a lot of people got the same email who was in the 29th batch (I was originally suppose to be in the 9th batch then got bumped to the 15-22, then got bumped to the 29th batch).
"Dear XXX
Greetings from Notion Ink!
We understand that you have been eagerly waiting for the arrival of your Adam. However, we regret to inform you that a fraction of our touch-screens got damaged during transportation due to which your shipment has been effected.
The Chinese New Year holidays that are in the first week of February further add to the delay. However, our touchscreen partner, Sintek, have agreed to work through the holidays and deliver the screens as soon as possible. We are afraid that until we receive these touchscreens, your device would not be ready for shipment.
The estimated date of your shipment would be 14th February 2011 (Buffer included).
In case you need any further assistance, please contact the Notion Ink Support Team at [email protected].
We thank you for your continued patience and co-operation in this matter.
Warm Regards
Notion Ink Support Team

Update: Just sent notion ink support an email asking to have my pre-order canceled and my money refunded. I will let anyone know the response as soon as I get it.
Update #2: Canceling my order officially took one day but I have to wait 10-21 days to get my money back (hopefully no delays there)
"We have taken note of your request for cancellation and have processed the same.

Same here, was going to stick with the adam but at this rate the xoom will be here first.

My thoughts exactly.

has this effected the 31st batch as well? Just wondering as I am was in the 29th

Yes this has effected 31st batch also. I am in 31 st batch and now it shows 14 feb 2011.
Atleast you people got emails from customer care. I got nothing..

Also bumped to 14th of Feb. Originally 9th Jan. 3rd delay.
BTW XDA "Notion INk Lpves you" so send them a rocket for the complete farce that this is turning into.
Rohan Shravan "nominee for Adroid person of the year" Sorry but NO NO NO!
He misinforms, delays, sends out smoke screens, let's loyal customers down and does not care about them at all. He is out to make a fast buck it seems and I think it's gonna bite him in the ass and NI will be bankrupt within a few months.

I wish there was some way you could transfer the order over to me.
He posted a few days ago about the broken screens and said there may be a delay. There isn't much NI can do about it. Its a small company, not motorola or htc. They're doing the best they can I'm sure, and they've made a few mistakes along they way.
I would be curious if someone priced these out to determine how much NI if making on them. I bet it isn't much considering how much they've invested. Its going to take them years to turn a profit.
I'm shocked they got the screen supplier to work through the new year.
PM me if you think they will transfer the order

Sirchuck,
My main problem is not the delay its the fact they had to know about this at least a week prior to when they wanted to ship them. Because it takes time to build and ship the devices. This shouldn't have been a shock to them they day after they were suppose to ship. And honestly as an upstart company you don't want you companys image to be of delays and a disheartened customer base. I work in IT and was hyping this product uptown my friends and coworks who really wanted to check it out. Now I have to tell them its been delayed again and I am trying to cancel my order. Think they will give this company a shot in the near future??

What do you want them to do?
Use the possibly damaged screens and ship on time? Sell out to Steve Jobs so you can order an Adamapple? Wait till you can buy it at Walmart, and be shipped in their thousands so they are like every other tablet?
Currently you are in the front of the line. Relax and enjoy it. Read. Learn. When it gets here you will be far more knowledgeable than if you had one in your hands right now.
Again, currently you are in the front of the line.

Hey John,
I am pretty relaxed at this point and really not upset the least. I just feel like at this point this is a company I don't personally want to do business with anymore. Assuming they cancel my pre-order, with out tons of aggravation at this point I will harbor them no ill will. And no I will not be going to go by an Ipad! lol's I dont know where you got that from. I will probably get a Xoom depending on how locked down (which most likely will be extremely locked down) it is or just hold off until I can get something from HTC.
And I 100% agree with you, if I were them I wouldn't have used damaged LCD's but they knew they weren't going to use damaged LCDs before today. Being someone who has now had his date pushed back 3 times I just feel that personally I deserved to know this before, not after my tablet was suppose to ship for the 3rd time. In fact if they had just said initially that the devices were going to ship in late February, I would have been ok with it.
And thanks for the advice but I always read an learn

Let us know what happens with your cancellation. I'm curious if they'll try to charge you the cancellation fee -- I'm tempted to cancel mine and pickup the Xoom. I was pretty stoked about the pixelQi, but the reviews so far sound like it's not worth the extra cash. Based on Motorola's history, it's pretty likely that their screen will be good quality.

Never thought for a second you would
get an iPad. I was saying, should they (NI) sell out to Steve for the Adamapple. A crude attempt at humor. I am a 5.31% fractionalist as well and wish I had the little begger right here, but not. I will read and learn until he lands.

The Pixel Qi is only worth the extra cash
if you plan to ever use it outdoors in the sun. I use one daily and it is wonderful. I live in Florida and will never have a portable device with out one. Is Adam the Pixel Qi device to own. Can't say that. Is Adam the only commercial production device right now with one. Can say that.

Updated my original post with some info about my cancellation.

Too bad, they're going for a premium on ebay too. May have been worthwhile to just resell it! But that's a hassle and probably not worth the hundred or two extra they're going for.

Honestly I thought a lot about doing just that, and the reason I didn't is because I canceled due to my personal doubts on of the companies integrity. If I had sold the device at a premium on e-bay and I had the unfortunate luck of receiving a faulty unit or something else along those lines and then passed that unit onto someone else, I would of been kicking my self in the ass for doing it in the first place. For me I viewed canceling my pre-order as a cutting my losses move. Now all I have to hope for is I get my money back with out any further hassle.

[Q] How to (back)order an Adam?

Tablets are appearing left, right, and center these days and I think I have decided that I would like to support the innovative little guy. However, I have sent several emails over the course of the last month inquiring how someone could place an order.
I am in the US (if that matters) and was wondering if anyone had successfully ordered or put their names on a waiting list recently (and if so how?), and how long it takes from start to stop to get your adam.
Thanks!

RE: pre-order windows? existance is futile?
I've been wondering the same thing. Every time I talk myself into grabbing one I can't seem to locate any way of pre-ordering.
Aside from the few that are marked up/snarked up on *bay... I too would rather support the little guy. Though I fear that once I get around to talking myself into picking up a tablet again, an iPad2 will head my way.

I believe Notion Ink has finished taking orders for their 2nd pre-order.
http://store.notionink.com/subscribe.php
This link gets you on their list of people who have interest in purchasing one. If they have any left to sell they will contact you.
The first batch of orders in Dec were across the map as far as time from ordering to delivery (Some got theres in Jan, others not till recently)
I don't believe anyone in this second batch has gotten delivery yet. I ordered mine on Feb 9th and the estimated shipping date is March 3rd-10th (but who knows if that will hold true).
There is a reason why they are calling these "Pre-Orders", I think it is taking them some time to produce them which is certainly a risk us consumers are taking. But have faith if you think this device suits you the best.

iPad 2 really doesn't look like it offers much more then the iPad 1
Yes it is thinner/lighter, yes it has two cameras, and yes it now has a dual core processor....but the main reason I gravitate towards the Adam is the fact is offers most of that along with more consumer friendly inputs/outputs, a physical design that will be easier to hold, and of course Honeycomb which offers so much more for me over the Apple OS 4.3

iPad 2
I agree the only thing I like about the iPad 2 is the cover, which if I am honest really is brilliant in its simplicity, utility, and awesomeness. Other than that...
Still, I am not sure which device best fits my needs (I just know I want to support small innovators) My problem is that I am a grad student who is trying to go paperless. I try and read my articles, grade my papers and read my news on a monitor, and it might be nice to have something that I could hold rather than put on my lap.
Also pretty sure that 7 inches is just too small (maybe 10 is too big) who knows...I wish there were more brick and mortar stores where I could try them out.

The Xoom is available to try out at best buy. So you could at least get an idea of what 10inch's is like as well as Honeycomb vs. the Apple OS.
The LG Optimus Pad and supposedly a new Galaxy Tab are coming out with 8.9inch screens.
If you are focusing on the Adam for its Pixel Qi screen for reading I would research more reviews on how it does indoors vs. outdoors. I opted to order the LCD version only since I don't plan on using it as an e-reader or for outdoor purposes. I mainly want it to replace my personal laptop that i lug around whenever I travel just to check email/surf the web/ and watch movies.

I ordered mine feb 5 and received it yesterday if it helps any.

I consider that good news for 9th orders. Means that the promised 3rd March shipping date is still realistic.
Edit: Actually, bad news. Means I'll have to start checking the pre-order site multiple times a day now out of sheer compulsive curiousity.

My Feb 9th order has shipped

I realize that Notion is a small company, but how can they think they will stay in business when people can't figure out how to order or have to wait a ton?
I like the idea of the Adam, but not the idea of waiting to pre-order then waiting a month or more for my unit.
So is it worth the wait?

Depends on what your needs/wants are in a tablet.
I came to the decision of handing my money over to Notion Ink instead of any other company for the following reasons:
- 2 x Full USB 2.0 Ports
- Tegra 2
- 6 Physical Buttons (4 on the face, Back button and Power button on the side)
- Full HDMI Out
- Ergonomical Design
- Promise of Honeycomb
- $425 price tag

I too am wondering if this tablet is worth the wait. I ordered mine Feb 14 and I am tired of waiting. My original estimated ship date was now pushed back to 3/3-3/10. This is insane. I have no idea how these guys intend to run a successful company doing business like this. This is absolutely unacceptable. If this estimated ship date is pushed back one more time I am going to cancel my order. And if they give me any sh*t going that route I'll simply refute the charges and let my AMEX deal with this B.S.
Of course, I hope I don't have to go that route and I hope I will receive an email shortly telling me my Adam has shipped. I really want this device but refuse to wait around like a scorned lover begging for attention. I'm paying good money. It's not like I won this thing in a contest and am waiting on them to ship one once they have extras. This is INSANE!!!

I bought the Adam because of the reasons I posted above. No other company is putting a tablet out that offers the same functionality.
With that said....
There is a BIG reason why they are calling this a "PRE-ORDER". They are a small company, they did not have the money and means to start mass producing these. But from what we read from Rohan they are growing quickly and starting to strategically plan for a larger roll out that also includes better support.
Adam is their first product, they are dedicating resources towards designing the next one. This kind of innovation is a beautiful thing. I don't understand how people "expect" this ordering experience to be similar to that of purchasing an Apple or Motorola product.

What are the price-points of the various options?
My friend and I both just recently signed up for pre-orders but who knows when the next batch will roll out....just trying to plan ahead!
Thanks.

Of course I wouldn't expect it to be like buying an Apple or Moto product. The surprising part is their website is a little too filled with mystery. The tech audience in general is not a patient bunch and signing up for unknown pre order dates and long waits wont fly with everyone. For their own sake I hope they can step up production a bit. I do believe their pricing is very good from what I could find but having to google them vs being front and center on their site is kinda lame.

Cell2get.com 620$ gnote in USA

Hi Friends,
Any body tried this website cell2getdotcom. Gnote over there is 620usd plus free shipping and i have found a 25usd coupon as well. When i applied the coupon it was redeemed successfully, but i didnt go on with completing the order. Anybody ever bought anything from them.
I will call them in the morning to find out if they have any retail location. Google customer reviews are good and one customer was referring to a retail location in newyork.

Damn that's a good price. Lowest on Amazon is $699 right now. Tempted to pull trigger on this but still hesitant after returning my first gnote for screen issues. Let us know if you talk to them tomorrow...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

the review is somewhat mixed for the site :x but ppl do get the phone they ordered. some come in perfect, some are locked, some are refurbished etc... so it's a gamble i guess. But since the note is still quiet new now, chance for a refurbished phone is pretty rare i suppose.

Definitely post back, please. I'd do a pickup too. But from their online rep, I'd wouldn't be surprised by bait 'n switch tactics. Most of the "good" comments are obviously manufactured - eg
Nice company to do business with. I don’t do reviews too often but felt compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experiences so far these past four purchases. I just want to let everyone know that if you like shopping the old-fashioned way, then this is the way to go, with these folks!

Be careful!

I don't like the website it seems like they have everything.

Be very cautious of NYC based electronics websites. Unless it's a B&H Photo or other recognized business.
PATIENCE is the key. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain by waiting awhile.
Prices will go down, Development will be more matured, Many more used devices to chose from. Maybe something new comes out that's better. I have never been an early adopter. I respect those who are and love being the first on the block. I have saved hundreds and had far less headache waiting a while. Just bought the wife's SGS II used for $400 with a lot of accessories chargers and batteries, I bought mine used, Warranty new was not an option in the US anyway, May as well buy from someone who made it work for them.
Probably buy a used Note as well.. in a few months or when I see used prices below $500.

I ordered through cell2get, after reading reviews I was nervous. Online it says nothing about being out of stock but after making the charge and ordering it I received an email thanking me for my order. About 2 hours later i received another email stating they were out of stock. The money is still "pending" and I have not been refunded yet.
Edit: After 5 days my money has been refunded to my account.

"Cell2Get is one of the Nation’s largest cell phone retailers and is generally regarded as offering the best contract-free phone deals on the web"
Orrrrr, they could be a crappy fly by night store in Brooklyn that I've never even heard of (I'm from the area). That quote was from their "about" page. Dishonest on the page, dishonest to the customer's face.

Yep, i was on the verge of placing my order until i read the reviews and changed my mind.
Got it on craigslist factory sealed last week for 670 cash. Probably the cheapest you can find
And don't forget to send the link to the cell2get price to convince the craigslist seller to drop the asking price Works like a charm
Or use that link for anyone who promises price matches.

T-Mobile Order Tracking

There are a bunch of us who ordered 64GB Nexus 6s early on 11/19 (or late on 11/18), who still don't have their orders, despite many others who already have their orders who ordered AFTER us. T-Mobile doesn't seem to think there's a problem with this, can't tell us anything about when we could possibly see our orders, and has more or less told us that they won't do anything because there's no evidence that their system screwed up. To that end, we've started tracking 64GB Nexus 6 orders in a spreadsheet, here. We're hoping, that by collecting this data, we can show them that we know we're being screwed over, and that they need to get straightened out.
If you, or a loved one ordered a 64GB Nexus 6 on or around the morning of 11/19, please feel free to add your information to the spreadsheet. Also, if you happen to have ordered after about 10AM PST on 11/19 we'd really like to have your information, especially.

In case anyone missed it @askdes gave quite a response last night. He did make one very good point. What we are doing here is helping to make everyone that ordered a 64gb Nexus 6 feel that they are entitled to receiving their phone in a timely manner. Please remember that the issue here is that people that ordered during the early launch time frame may have been missed somehow while others that placed orders later are receiving their phones. We should all know by now (or at least have an idea) that Google/Motorola are having some kind of manufacturing issue. The only reason we are upset with T-mobile is that they have not been forthcoming with accurate information as to why some people were "accidentally" skipped over. That is it.
@casbar no one has been intentionally skipped. I have enlisted a great deal of people to make sure any errors are found & fixed it takes great deal of time and effort. Days not hours, and the manufacturer has not helped. I am trying to not throw anyone under the bus here. The problem is now there are people who ordered much later and think they are entitled to deliveries earlier and that is not the case and it makes it more difficult to help the people who may have had a legitimate issue but we will help every customer because that is what we do! - Des

I do believe that T-Mobile is attempting to correct any errors on their part. We should be as patient as possible and collect any information that will help us build an understanding of what may have happened if for nothing else to help T-Mobile resolve this situation.

I added my info as well.

Added the following info:
Ordered from: www.tmobile.com
Ordered: Motorola Nexus 6 64GB Blue.
Order date: 11/19/2014 at 07:24 AM PST
Delivered On: 11/21/2014 at 1:10 PM PST

if tmobile establishes an order of responding then the company is intentionally skipping over certain customers by design, albiet it is a temporary skip since at some point in the scheme they will be filled. so, in my opinion des is still perpetuating a huge lie. the way tmobile can come clean is to just fill the orders as they were placed.

Added my info. At least I got 50$ credit for cyber Monday. I implore everyone who has not already done so to call and get credited if you ordered before Monday.

whats funny is that i ordered mine for next day delivery, and the delivery information only showed up for me 24 hours after i received it.

Just added my info.

Same here, I guess we were both in the same shoes. I ordered on the first day (Wednesday) and received it the following day.
Although for me I keep my music on local storage and still have space to work with. I take the train so music in the cloud isn't good for me.

Don't throw anyone on the bus? Really... If I have to go on the interwebs and find out this information on a forum when neither T-mobile rep on call or webchat have any clue and deny everything and the sytem says absolutely nothing, they are more than complicit and not truly "fixing" anything wholeheartedly or taking responsibility for their mistake.
**** happens? I believe it. Not going to be mad about that. Continuously lying, ignoring, trivializing, or shirking blame? **** you.

My cyber Monday order says backordered but pending shipping.

T-Mobile 19er 64Gb BLUE
well after reading almost 10,000 post in both "Nexus 6 Waiting Room" and "T-Mobile receiving limited stock" I think we people who ordered 11/19 from T-MOBILE or there abouts, then put on backorder to 11/25, are getting lost in the orders from GPS and MOTO.
I have neither received on read about anybody have any info on these orders. Does any info
exist on these orders Anyone, Anything.

I ordered on the 20th..backorder 21st...in same boat with no estimates..tried executive CSR, store CSR, and website with no luck.
I sent another email to the exec team as some people have time frames for shipping populate using website order tracking...but my order shows nothing
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

I put out a Twitter (twit, tweet, twiddle?) today for T-Mobile sort of publicly asking for any sort of shipping status. They immediately got back to me and asked me to direct message them but then was promptly asked the same questions on my order that the phone and chat reps have asked me all the time about my order.
As far as I know I'm still on backorder from 11/25 (ordered the 19th) and nobody has any idea when I'll get this phone.
I'm patient and don't care if I receive it in February, I just want to know if I'm going to be receiving it and when. Especially with holidays and travelling coming up I don't want to risk having the thing sit on my doorstep for days/weeks while I'm gone. Just any little drop of info would be awesome.

So we know that at a minimum Google, Motorola and T-Mobile are having issues with managing orders for this phone.
Either hundreds of thousands are ordering or this is the "demon core" of smart phones.

System Generated Message
Just got the system generated message from TMO that my order will be delayed until (between) 1/9/14 and 1/23/14... and that is anything changes, I will know because it will ship... (duh) I'm lucky that I got a 32GB and at this point really don't need the 64GB but its just a matter of principle now..

T-Mobile via Twitter has told me 6 - 8 weeks from order date

VZW Info

From what I understand it will be available Dec 13th.
This is what the chat rep said when I just asked her when it'll be available on VZW
EDIT: asked her about pre-orders too and she said she is unsure, but to check on Thursday cause that's when they expect it.

I spoke with a rep also at Costco about 4 days ago and he said they expect to see them in a week or so

The 13th is a Saturday not Thursday. Chat reps are extremely unreliable sources. Seems unlikely they'd launch a device on a Saturday anyway.

That's what I said too, initially.
Skeptical, I asked her why this is. She said the phone is in such high demand that they haven't been able to get stock ready to release it both in-store and online (which is another reason she said they may or may not do pre-orders.) FWIW, I would take it with a grain of salt, but this is a lot better than the response I got last week with them saying it isn't in their system so they do not know/have any idea.
VZW has done it in the past, but just confirming what was said by the redditor.
EDIT: for that reason, I will be watching Wednesday night and Friday morning of next week.

I'm still sporting a December 15th, 2011, Galaxy Nexus from a local corporate store, no repairs or replacements, and it was unlocked and rooted on day one. It's got a few problems, but still works everyday. I'm just wondering what VZW is up to with the Nexus 6 at this point. Is this just another "additional testing" delay, a supply and demand delay, a device QC delay, or all of the above? Or maybe something worse like additional "lock down" software changes? Yes, I know there's only one US model, and yes I know about the carrier software install at setup and how to avoid it (I've read just about everything I can find), but I just don't trust VZW at this point. This GNex still works because of the work done by ME, not because of VZW support of a hobbled Nexus device.

At this point all we can do is speculate until the Nexus 6 finally shows up at Verizon. Could be all of those things you mentioned. Could be they wanted to give the Droid Turbo less competition, or it could be none of those things. Time will tell.
Just crossing my fingers that they'll have the 64GB version available.

Our moto rep just said not to expect them until quarter 1, maybe February. I'm hoping he's wrong...

As stated anything is pure speculation, but if that was the case VZW would have a weird timeline with phones in their history. Historically, they have always gotten devices close to last. I think they were one of the last carriers to have the iPhone, but I don't think that dealt with stock/holding off because they wanted to push their other phones. There was an article about the iPhone and how most carriers lose money with the subsidized price on the actual device, but make more than enough back by the contract. All phone companies are about signing contracts, as that is where they make the most of their money. If you cancel your phone, there are not too many external costs associated with that, but they want to ensure that they get their moneys worth for losing that device/the profit from your remainder of your contract. Holding off on devices actually just hurts them in the long-run, as more devices = more appeal to more demographics = more contract sign-ups, but I think it deals more with contractual agreements, like securing the phone, branding the phone, etc most of the time, but I feel like this might just deal with the low stock. This thing is practically sold out everywhere and hard to find.

Just visited the local verizon store and they said Nexus 6 will be available in the next week or so.

It's got a few problems, but still works everyday. I'm just wondering what VZW is up to with the Nexus 6 at this point. Is this just another "additional testing" delay, a supply and demand delay, a device QC delay, or all of the above? Or maybe something worse like additional "lock down" software changes? Yes, I know there's only one US model, and yes I know about the carrier software install at setup and how to avoid it (I've read just about everything I can find), but I just don't trust VZW at this point. This GNex still works because of the work done by ME, not because of VZW support of a hobbled Nexus device.

I'm rocking my GNex as well, no issues, on shiny KK, and awaiting a new FML build to jump to 5.0 or 5.0.1 as the case may be.
The fun part is waiting, and reading, because even IF I left it encrypted - I'm coming from a GNex, I don't think I'be able to tell that it may be lagging a bit
(But I'm unlocking, rooting and reflashing that bugger for no encryption anyways .... depending on how VZ does or doesn't screw us again)

We just trimmed my wife's GN sim for her new N6. She wasn't happy with her GN, too many issues (poor reception, etc), and way overdue for an upgrade.
