So the "definitely not mid November" will become "best case scenario is mid November"?
This reminds me the jolla updates a few years back. People didn't care about updates for new investors, they cared about software and device updates.
Same thing here.
People want to know when the device is going to ship to them, meaning like a week or so to have it in your hands.
They don't care when the device is going to ship to this or the other warehouse, waiting for customs etc.
Sure, any update is welcome at this point when you have delay after delay, but it should be phrased correctly.
When you deny November and you say 29th of October we will ship, that means that the device is ready, certified, inspected, free of customs etc, and it will be shipped from the company's warehouse the given date.
I understand that many people here will be willing to pay high end price for an outdated device cause of the hardware keyboard, but I don't appreciate tricky word-plays about dates.
Anyway, best of luck to all supporters and the company.
