I have had mine for a while now, very well made! I bought a nice case off amazon for it. I added an external cellular antenna which looks nice. Where I live, adding the big 10 decibel gain cellular antenna gives me great 4g reception. I could not be more pleased. Very high quality device. Loads of fun, because you can do so much with it. I always wanted a portable linux device like this and now I have one, and it works perfect! :slight_smile: I highly encourage you to hang in there, as it is very worth the wait. Good luck!

Cool… another order after mine and I’m still waiting.

But imagine how it would be cool to receive and install Pi6 module into it!!!

I think this won’t be easy without buying or making a new PCB for both, the compute module and power suply. But at least now is posible to upgrade the RAM in the CM4 module.

Now THAT’S annoying.
I’m Black + 4G + CM4 (ordered Jan 17)

Silver + 4G + CM4 ordered AFTER mine received first (thought maybe they out of black)
Now you get yours before mine and it’s black! WTF.

The problem is the CM4 core. If I hadn’t removed it, I’d still be waiting.

That is really annoying

I ordered the same config few days later than you.

Last status i got from Alex this monday:

ā€œPacking process shall be done in a few days, then the carrier will kick in to ship your order.
Shall be delivered in a couple of weeks according to our experience.ā€

Let’s hope… I really didn’t mind the waiting until seeing people who ordered after me getting the parts required to fulfill MY EARLIER order.

ooof, good luck! Hopefully you’ll get it by next summer.

if you can find the core around you, remove the core from your oder, it will be much fast

I did. I emailed them with my order number and requested a partial refund. We’ll see what happens.

Thank you for the tip

I made two orders recently:
Silver
Wifi only
CM4- no core
Placed on Nov 1st
309xx

Black
Wifi only
R-01
Placed on Nov 6th
310xx

I decided to order 2 different configurations with the hope that one would show up before the other. I want to use the R-01 to learn a bit about RISC-V, but I’m hopeful that there will be support for CM5 at some point in the future. I know I have a while to wait, so I’m gonna read up on some mods that I might want to do and maybe start gathering hardware.
