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?

It seems to be available from resellers, lab401 seems to be their official reseller in Europe: https://lab401.com/collections/flipper-zero

Even though it states on web page on big letters, that it ships to Canada. It does not. Canada not available. (I suspect same with USA)

I'm glad that's hackable. I have an extra class ham radio license and can play with some additional frequencies, and want to at least have the option to enable them.

I've been rather curious as to what the license would legally allow one to do with this. Should this end up applying for some of the capable but disabled frequencies?

Context: I have a flipper zero and have been thinking about testing for amateur radio licenses.

I have a passing interest in wireless hacking but I have no idea if I have the skillset to make any use of it. How useful is this for someone with zero pen testing and/or wireless experience? I'm curious to know what it would take to hack my garage door or key fob for my car

Out of the box it supports limited raw rf capture and replay. Your garage door (probably) and your car key fob use rolling codes which change each time the button is pressed. This is not supported, and likely won’t be in the official firmware. I’ve used mine to make copies of all rf and ir remotes in my home. Fans, tv, bidet, AC, etc.

TIL some bidets can be controlled remotely. I feel like an ape.

For those of us who crowdfunded this a couple years ago (when it was a no-brainer muti-tool for the startup I was in at the time, dealing with fancy NFC/RFID/etc.), but don't have hobby time to play with it... where's the best place to sell it, and feel like a winner? eBay?

If it's ape-like to not be able to detach from your own ass and walk around, I guess I'm in that group too.

I'm more concerned about why you would need a remote for something that depends on you being there...

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...

> suposideley

I was confused by this until I saw you were Swiss. Then I realized it was just a bit of involuntary yodeling.
