Good open communication from Chen, hoping he can turn a bad situation into a success.
The new Q-device (aka "chenphone") does seem like a better technical solution overall, with a much simpler organisational structure - so there should in theory be fewer points of failure.

haha yeah people were super unfriendly last time when i said there were serious red flags in modkbd campaign, thought i'd ride it out
how's life here?
Now that the Mod hit the fan, yeah its great to be the one having warned first. Congrats. Victory granted if you insist. But again, thats the problem. I was hoping for a "together" kind of spirit.
We are so few, why hack on each other?
btw, great work with your EV. I'd buy one if you mass produce

Sure he offers refunds, but how many people are going to do that effort AND will meet this two week deadline? Oh yeah and while 1653 people were waiting I was actually working on another project! What kind of bs is that I mean really. People ask in the igg page to extend this refund period untill after this new phone is available for sale and that is the only question not answered. It fits the picture.
But yeah who am I kidding, making a kwkbd phone is a lot easier that just making a kb obviously. Q4 release is obviously a realistic timeline and this time just give him a bit more money and he superpromises to not let you wait for a year before cancelling this time. Sure
Why hack on each other? Why give your honest opinion when you want to protect your guys from burning 160k?
Dave, I leave the honours of starting the 11 day countdown till Q4 starts and qphone deliveries start to you

around a year?
It did not quite fall from heaven and the Mod was seen as a step on the way (at least here, igg dunno). Sure, what Mod fail means for Chens Phone is to be seen.
Anyway, glad we have the "super unfriendly" out of the way (i guess?).
Ah yes, and robbed is maybe the wrong word.
I got robbed of my Nexus 5 yesterday (I bought it from tommo here on the forum)
Carelessly left it in the hotelroom. A cleaning personel must have mad a quick snatch. So... now i feel insecure and will not leave anything of worth in this hotel.
Do i feel insecure because Moto Mod failed? Make a guess.
