[Saygus V²] t3chfan:
Apologies for length...

Totally torn now on whether to stick this out or not. The longer this goes on, the less of a bargain the device looks.

3 months is a long time in the world of smartphones (I'm assuming 3 months by the time I have it in my hand, that's without any further delays), and the specs will look much less enticing at that point.

By that time I expect I would be able to pick up a Note 4 for around the same price, which is currently the best phone available, is tried and tested, also has the best smartphone camera ever.

As I've stated before, I want the V2 to be a success.

I want a phone that I don't have to cheapen by putting a plastic case on it.

I want a phone that doesn't force me to choose between deleting videos of my daughter and deleting music because I am constantly running out of space.

I want a phone that I can pair with the Pebble Time Steel that I've ordered without massively compromising battery life.

I want a phone that allows me to speak to somebody, and for them to hear what I am actually saying!

But, most importantly, I want a phone that exists. I want a phone that has gone through an extended period of testing to ensure that the hardware works in all scenarios - I've been burnt by this on both my last phones, specifically in terms of the camera images when both were promised on release to offer the best camera available (Z1 Compact with flash bleed issues, Z3 Compact with pink spots in images and also glass panel cracking issues)

Software issues I can live with, these can be updated, hardware issues are unforgivable. This requires an extended period of testing in real life situations, something which I can't see can be done between now and 22nd May.

So while I will keep my pre-order live, and I applaud all others who do the same, the undeniable facts remain.

Saygus has ZERO track record in producing a phone. They do however have a track record in hyping up a phone that never got released.

No review has been posted of a fully working unit, because today, just over 2 months from the promised shipping date a fully working sample does not exist.

At this point, we actually know nothing about Saygus. We know that there are 2 gentlemen behind it, Chad the excitable hype man, and Tim the awkward technical guru, but behind these guys, is there anyone else? What experience does Saygus actually have in the mobile phone market, both in terms of hardware and software? Some detailed information on this would really put my mind at ease.

So to sum it up, without offending anyone, at this point we're just idiots who have parted with our cash on a promise, based on nothing but blind faith, when all available evidence seems to suggest that we are not going to actually get anything like the fabled Superphone we've been promised.

Honestly, if I didn't want this damn phone so much I'd just cancel right now and look on from the sidelines with my 3D glasses and a big bowl of sweet and salted...

One last thing, which I don't believe anyone else has spotted, if you google map their address, you can actually take a walkthrough of their office (which looks like any other generic rented/serviced office block)

P.S. Keep up the good work Andreas! Danke!
