may the odds ever be in your favor!
This is totally randomā¦ my order is 194XX, CM4 matte black placed on oct 26 and it wasnt even sent yet
Might want to email Alex.
Already did. He said it was in 17/09 batch, but I think it wasnt true.
mine is 1945x, black cm4 +4g, and itās not in the third batch. i guess probably they only have silver cases produced this batch? anyway i just wish more information could be providedā¦
Pure speculation, take with plenty of salt:
I wonder if the 3rd batch is being partially held up by the 4G module issues some people are reporting. If CWPIās packing plant people are trying to find and replace as many faulty 4G modules as they can and only shipping orders filled with ones they think work or are wifi only that might explain why it is so erratic.
Did your order include the cellular radio or was it WiFi only?
my order is wifi only
may my order be in this batch(late sept) 
I think if you havenāt heard about it yet, youāre not in this batch
Iāve been told over the last 4 months that i was going to be in the next batch. The last email i got said either in the third, or the beginning group of the fourth. Iām not in club doubt over the existence of the uConsole, but Iām not a fan of being led on without new and accurate news. Thereās also holiday in production land right now, that doesnāt help anything.

@AlexDuan do you have predictions on the next batch, are batches getting bigger now that you are mastering production after 3 waves? How big is the backlog? Gives us some more information, we all know that something might change but having any information from the above would help to keep up

I emailed trying to gain more info because became a bit nervous after my order when seeing some post here of people waiting an almost a year.
I got the following:
The uConsole orders are still suffering from former delays. But there isnāt significant delay any more.
We are speed up to meet the needs. For now, the most uncertain thing is the supply of CM4, which is effecting not only us, but also the global market.
But the main supplier has promised us that the supply will become stable in a few weeks.
So sounds like CM4 is the biggest hold up. Which of course isnāt surprising.

Iāve been following the uconsole for a while(have a Game shell and devterm) but was on the fence because I didnāt really need oneā¦
Now, my son is asking for one for his birthday next year(August). With production possibly increasing, what are the odds that if ordered today Iād get it close to next August? Is wifi better than Wifi/4g for shipping times? I know the CM4 is the biggest hold up and I donāt think I have one around that he could use.
Thanks!

We canāt tell the future, but the first round of orders typically takes the longest. I ordered a uConsole in early November and will probably get it by November, and eh, if itās what you want thereās not a lot else like it.
Though I suppose you could find a used PocketCHIP. I loved that hunk of e-waste but the keyboard buttons on those are terrible.

I would go for it. Itās not super expensive for what it is and you can warn him now that it might not come in time. And theyāve been super good with refunds so far if he changes his mind later and desperately wants a bike or something

I had one of thoseā¦briefly, like you said the keyboard was pure trash.
Iāll probably put a order inā¦ worst case he isnāt interested in it when it comes in and Iāll have a new toy to play with.
