I saw this 24 minute exhaustive review before ordering one last week: https://youtu.be/1qp78fiDD5M

yikes that guy has sub dermal implants - is this common in your country?

It's not common in any country, it's a fringe biohacker kind of thing.

There's a small group in the US that does this kind of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grindhouse_Wetware

As someone who just ordered one to the EU, you people in the US finally get a taste of your own medicine :) I can't even recount how many times I've wanted to order something, and not until the final step before doing the payment they put up a "Sorry, we only accept orders within the US & Canada".

Wanna create a parcel bouncing service? One address here, one over there, charge for shipping and handling

We'd get a bulk discount on shipping sending containers of goods. But the sorting and re shipping sounds like Amazon level logistics

I just got mine a couple of days ago. I'm really impressed with how well its built and how polished the software is. It is much more polished than any other similar (useful!) hacking/debugging hobbyist devices I've bought. Its clear a lot of thought and care has gone into it.

Just received mine (today).

What is also amazing is the community, there are already custom firmware, extension and guides

Just wasted 20 minutes trying to figure out how to order. It kept saying no shipping rates found for my address. Turns out they aren't allowing US orders at the moment but they don't actually say that on the website you just get a cryptic shipping rates message. Not the greatest experience.

I'd like to order one as well (EU, too), but I'm a bit repelled by the $35 tax on top of the price. Did you pay the same tax? Did you research whether you'll have to pay customs fees as well?

Well they did a really good job then, because the physical product in my hands is well made and functional.

But the website clearly says that shipping will start in August. How did you get yours?

Mine arrived earlier today. I was one of the backers of their Kickstarter campaign, which I think ran two years ago. They've shipped thousands of these already.

Anyone else having issues ordering? Apple Pay fails, and manual checkout says it can't be shipped to my address. It's a normal US residential address. Edit: According to their forums, "There are no US region (R02) flippers in stock at the moment." https://forum.flipperzero.one/t/unable-to-place-order/4251/4

I'm still waiting for my Kickstarter version (suposideley by July 26th) and as one of the first few backers I would hope I receive mine before others can just go buy one... Yes I live in Switzerland but it's not at the edge or the world. Most have received theirs already but Swiss people had to wait a while...

Yep, still waiting for mine too. Got the delivery code a good three weeks ago, no movement after that.

I've waited for 2.5 years, so what's a few weeks more =)
