#2There is a lesson there - you cant sell a lot of kit (available at some future date) at a price that is over 30% more than a ton of other folks got it for. The reward price "spread" is an attempt to reproduce that initial enthusiastic sales surge but I wonder...
Might come off but it feels like a marketing "cock-up" to me.

#4I am struggling to justify buying a phone now that won't ship for 10 months. By then Apple, Samsung, HTC etc will all have far superior devices

They've missed their target, I don't think a single kickstarter has been successful having only reached 20% on day 1. (Most successful drives have well over 50% done day 1.)
Here they haven't even reached that after a few days.
Unless shuttleworth decides to stick the money in himself this won't be happening.

You clearly haven't read the specs: Fastest multi-core CPU

And even if the software sucks, it's got a screen made of synthetic sapphire and a body made of an alloy so hard that when civilization collapses around you, you can use it as a hand-axe!
(I ordered one yesterday: I am a sucker for this sort of shiny.)

Very curious to whether that's allowed or not. Run a Kickstarter campaign, buy your own product to fill in demand. You'd think that if they get within 90% of total and the option is there they'd take it - the 10% of the items they buy themselves they'll get to sell on anyway.
Can someone read the Kickstarter T&Cs for me? :)

It's Indiegogo, so a bit more Wild West in that regard. I'm pretty sure it's allowed.
