Why don't you forward your shipping confirmation back to me, and I'll see what I can do about taking care of the problem.

Hi Fake,

I have still not received my order.
I have forwarded the Shipping confirmation email back to you.

Please can you make enquires from your end to see what the problem is

Thanks

There is next to nothing I can do about tracking these orders, so I'll send you another one. Email sent.

Maybe I am just daft :D


:)) I have something in mind, I hope to announce really soon. I think everyone is going to be really happy with it.

Unfortunately my laser is not powerful enough to cut metal. The bottle-opener suggestion above was pure genius. I'm talking to some shops with water-jet cutters....

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
@fake: My university ordered 6 stands a while ago, at my suggestion (I'm an undergrad doing research using N900s), and they arrived today. I must say, I'm impressed. They work better than I'd hoped, and are well constructed. Well worth the money (although I didn't spend it... :P). Ironically enough, we ordered an extra stand, and then two more phones came in today from Nokia.
Nice work, and fully recommended - if the pictures and video weren't recommendation enough.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
I am also looking for a suitable stylus to replace the cheap plastic one that comes with our beloved N900. I so miss the quality of the N800 one...
So far I have bought two different ones on EBay. One is practically all metal and is also telescopic, but has to be unscrewed to be used and it hangs from a lanyard, and that makes it less than practical, thought it is still very nice indeed. The other is the one from the N97.

An all metal or wood stylus with a plastic tip covering would be fantastic. For it to be perfect, however, it needs to fit into the N900 stylus receptacle. If you make one, please let me know. I will buy at least 5.

Oh! Make it Bluetooth also. Because everything can be made better if you add Bluetooth to it.

Jaem, do you mind telling me (PM is fine) what kind of research you're doing with N900's? I hope to do some computational photography with them.

oops, uhh, see you can't go into detail from this post: http://ffejery.wordpress.com/2010/02...nd-fresh-code/ -- no big deal.

I will see what I can do -- I was going to announce something today, but I'm not, due to unforseen flood-related circumstances. Hopefully tomorrow.

I am super-excited about it. I just need to confirm some things with a friend of mine. I am going to be gone the next two weeks, giving talks at Harvard and in Canada as well. My friend Matti will be handling orders during that time -- I want to be sure everyone is cool with everything, both him and you, and that all order fulfillment stuff is cool. That way I won't have to shut down the store when I leave.

Thanks -- some flood-related stuff happened today, so tomorrow will likely be when I announce things. I have a lake view now.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
Here's the announcement I posted on the front page. Looks like the YouTube demo video is still processing. Don't anybody buy anything until you see how cool these things are. :)

+++
So, today I'm happy to announce that I'm finally able to offer something people asked for right away -- high quality black acrylic stands.

http://danreetz.com/for_maemo/Black_Acrylic_Stand.jpg

These gorgeous, glossy, piano-black stands are even better than the old clear stands. They are now non-slip! They stay put on a desk very well.

See a demo video here.

The best thing, though, is that I now have two package deals with stylii. Right now, you can buy a black acrylic stand plus a stylus for $20 -- or you can buy a black acrylic stand, a black wooden stand, and a stylus for $25. That's a steal.

http://danreetz.com/for_maemo/Black_..._And_Phone.jpg

Remember, these prices include worldwide shipping. I will be gone for the next two weeks, so my friend Matti will be handling shipping, but customer service will still come from me.

There are only 25 total packages with stylii. 10 of the mixed sets, and 15 of the single acrylic + stylus packs. When they run out, I will not be able to restock them until I return to Fargo in the beginning of April.

These new wood stands fit extra-tight. Please watch the video to be sure you're ready to assemble them when you get them.

Thanks for everything, everyone.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
Any plans to put felt or rubberizing on the bottom of the stands - where they contact the surface of whatever they are on - to minimize loud vibration noises?

Or am I just a ninny and that's already there?

Well, the non-slip coating is rubbery in a sense, but not padded. I think that may have been discussed, though - search the thread.

This new acrylic stand is non-slip but will probably still vibrate against your desk because the rubber bands are only on the back. One possibility I've been investigating is little microfiber mats that could be included w/each stand.

I would probably have to see a little more interest, though. Orders have almost stopped, so it doesn't make a lot of sense for me to do yet another redesign.

Any suggestions welcome -- I will look into more substantial stylii.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
Just received my stands and stylus in today’s mail. I really wanted a spare stylus but figured I would order a couple of spare stands as I had misplaced my stand weeks ago. Quite unusual for me. So while visiting my son at college I asked him if he was using the 3rd stand I’d ordered. He pulled it out of his coat pocket and said he kept it there but quickly and graciously handed it over when he learned mine was MIA. :) His stand has since been returned--mine had fallen out of a bag of charts in my vehicle; the weather warmed up enough to clean it out.

My black acrylic stand is gorgeous and the stylus is awesome. It looks just like the original except it doesn't say NOKIA and it fits in my n900 perfectly. No more worries about losing it!

So five stands and one stylus later, maybe Fake could run a loyal customer special on styli!! Three for $10 maybe?!:)

Thanks, Dan. You rock!!!

I am going to be simplifying my store -- probably selling only black acrylic stands and stylii from now on. When I go through that process this weekend, I will set up a 3-pack stylus special.

More soon.

Anybody got an N900 for sale, cheap, or does anybody know if it's possible just to replace the top half? I'm good at building and fixing things, I just don't have much money.

:(

Maybe I'll do some kind of fire-sale and empty out my store to make back some cash.

Yep, casio ex-f100 -- the bezel is trashed, too.

Does anybody know if that "touch window assembly" includes the LCD, or is it just the touch screen?

Hey fake,

Just noticed you smashed your phone screen and ordered a 2-stand pack immediately. I would be glad to add couple of styliis to the order if you setup that option.
Don't think you need some sort of clearance sale - your prices are good enough already. Maybe some freebie or special personalization would do a better trick.

Take care!

P.S. Your case just reminds me of my e71 falling out of my hands from 3rd floor - spent $100 for spares and replaced the whole casing+screen myself. Shouldn't be much more than that for N900.

Hi,

I wanted to order, but I am missing some good information, and I am missing the 25$ Deal of 1 acrylic 1 wood + stylus.
I would like the option to add more stylus pens like for 1$ each or so, provided they are ordered with at least 1 stand.

I want a stand at home, and 1 at work, one acrylic one wood, both with stylus on standby.

You think you can arrange something like that?

The information I am missing : Does this come built? or I need to assemble it? (worried about it getting wrecked on the way here.)

Thanks.

They cost me just under $2 each, and so I can't sell them for less than that.

Please see the above link. I will add some items to my store in the next hour or two. What it will be is an add-on stylus for $3, so you can add one to any order. But you will not be able to order it by itself (need to figure out how to do that with my store).

Hi,

Thanks for all the information - I decided I want 2 acrylic ones with 2 stylus pens. The moment I can order that on your store, i'll post the order! I think it deserves a nice deal to it : "Home & Office complete pack - Acrylic"

If you can PM me when thats on your store, or something similar i'll be glad!

Thank You So Much!!!

All orders have been shipped. Awesome. Thanks everyone for your orders and support. And little_beat, don't forget to email me. :)

I added a 3X stylus pack to the store. Still can't figure out how to make a stylus that you can just add to any order... it looks like I'll have to upgrade to a higher price level to do it, which is not really worth it.

3X N900 stylus pack, $10 including shipping!:
http://usethelaser.myshopify.com/pro...00-stylus-pack

I only have ten of those packs in stock because I want to save stylii for people who are ordering stands.

I bought another N900 from a member of this site. Is anyone interested in buying my broken one? Everything works, even the touchscreen -- just the LCD is broken.

I got an easy solution for your problem,
Add to the catalog a few more sets :
- Acrylic + 1 Pen
- Acrylic + 2 Pen
- Acrylic + 3 Pen
- Wood + 1 Pen
- Wood + 2 Pen
- Wood + 3 Pen
- Acrylic + Wood + 1 Pen
- Acrylic + Wood + 2 Pen
- Acrylic + Wood + 3 Pen

That would probably cover all the needs of your customers,
and would prevent from someone ordering 1 pen :)
Anyway, Just ordered the 25$ deal. Thanks :)
