Is this from the first batch? I'm stunned at the delay, but glad you've (nearly! 
) got one finally.

Yes, first batch. Two years later. Not that techs are so much further in the field of umpc, as far as I know.

It's home.
And, err.... it's not your ordinary, mainstream device!
First impression: it's bulkier than expected from photos. XFCE that's onboard is quick enough. Both midori and arora crash in the first few minutes of use on quite simple sites.
Can't see how to press left and right mouse buttons - resorting to screen tapping.
No tv cable in the box. And that's all for now.

If you don't know how to right-click or where you TV out cable is you should probably go have a look at the official forums @ boards.openpandora.org.
Chromium and Firefox seem to be recognised as the best browsers despite neither being pre-installed. Flash even works in Firefox with a little help from Nokia.

Good to see you got it.
I had mine on pre-order for well over a year and canceled it December last year. Bought myself a new trail bike helmet and some weights! Big heavy plates! A much better deal I thought! N900 is far superior!

But if you forget your experience with the N900, you see that the Pandora is quite a complete and very portable UMPC and has enormous potential, due to the openness of the software & hardware, and the good performances.
Plus, on the forums there's the same relaxed and constructive mood that once one coud get here.
I am not the one who can install maemo on it, I lack the know-how, but since they are similar, hardware-wise, it's very likely it would be easy for one of the fine coders here. Maybe throwing in on a sdcard is enough?

I've flashed the latest beta firmware, and I'm bootingfrom an SD card (experience on N900 convinced me to never boot from SoC NAND
). Everything works beautifully.
