View Full Version : Notion Ink Adam Pre-order 2 Announcement

February-05-2011, 08:27 AM
As many of you may have noticed, Notion Ink has slowly begun to send out email invites for the Notion Ink Adam pre-order 2. Some members of NotionAddicts may have received this invite already, while others have not.

To those who have not yet received an invite to pre-order their Notion Ink Adam:
DO NOT PANIC! Please, take a deep breathe, exhale, relax, and continue reading below. :)

Those who received a pre-order 2 email received it as part of batch 1. The goal of batch 1 of pre-order 2 is to ensure that the orders will be trouble-free. By allowing only a small number of people to initially pre-order, Notion Ink can ensure that the information is appropriate and the system is easy for customers, in addition to being able to quickly address any bugs and/or issues that those who pre-order might experience.

The next batch (batch 2) of pre-order 2 will begin in a few days after batch 1 is successfully fulfilled. So, if you were a NotionAddicts members as of 11PM Pacific Standard Time on January 23, 2011, please (patiently) keep an eye on your email inbox for your invitation link.

NOTE: If you were not, please DO NOT reply here asking to be added to pre-order 2. We have already sent Notion Ink the list of NotionAddicts' members as of 11PM Pacific Standard Time on January 23, 2011, and (unfortunately) we will not be able to add you to the pre-order 2 list. Any replies which ask to be added to the pre-order list will be deleted. :)
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but you will get to order your Notion Ink Adam soon.

Maybe you need to be happy. As maybe NI knows 3g works for US but not for other countries yet. What's the point in ordering something which won't work.
I would be happy to know if things will work or not before ordering.
Please don't look at things all being bad. I think NI is realy working towards a stable product. ;)

Will there be a European adapter / connector included for the European countries in the next pre-order? I think it's silly to have some kind of powerconnector converter inbetween the US adapter and our European Wall Socket. All in all it is a high-tech gadget....It's funny to show it to my techie friends, what's that ? Ow, that's the US adapter with a converter....

Yep, months later and no Mastercard. If this cannot be rectified, I think I'll just go elsewhere. Shame, too... I was kinda looking forward to buying one of these.

Thanks for the info. I thought I had missed out again. I was so frustrated last time since I had been a fan from the beginning. Being a small business owner I too share the dream with Rohan. Yea but Rohan also said "people that did receive the link and ordered they were real orders with ship dates and all." Just feeling a little under appriciated...lol

February-05-2011, 08:26 PM
I was holidaying for the week from the 21st and I hadn't been signed up as a member. When I got home and saw there were invites for those signed up before the 23rd I was devastated. I signed up right away just in case there were any other offers in the future. Surely the invites won't take up the capacity of new stock. Will there be Adam's available for purchase for people who weren't members early enough? I really don't want to miss out again :(

TheMix
February-05-2011, 08:41 PM
I'm pretty sure I'm correct in assuming the Pre-order will work much like the first in that the pre-order is closed to those who got a link for the first hour....then it's open to the public.

pbo1228
February-05-2011, 08:51 PM
actually Rohan said this on the wordpress site:
Rohan Shravan said, on February 5, 2011 at 22:21

It is a REAL order. The numbers were less because we wanted to test the load, process, banking issues, fraud detection, new customer team, etc. You have ordered real product, and have real shipping dates.


So assume they did a small mini-pre-order2 to test there new process for these pre-order2. Can someone share the link they had????

I am quite frustrated to hear some pre-order 2 emails have already been emailed out - i have been following Adam for over 1 year, posted comments on their blog site and have been patiently waiting for the next pre-order email, having never recieved anything when the first pre-order email went out, much to my frustration.

It appears that I am in for a replay of preorder 1 with no email of notice from NI. Guess, someone at NI does not want me to get one and I will need to start looking at alternatives :(
This is not what I want to do, but I can't wait forever, especially since it appears that the process of selection for getting an Adam seem to be totally arbitrary and random, and that at this rate, my chance of getting an Adam before this summer is very low....

I guess I will wait til Feb 14th when Rohan promised his PreOrder2 emails will be sent out, and hope for the best....

Preorder II batch 1 LOL:
This is the biggest BS if seen so far on this board and you are repeating it. NI sold off their canceled and returned units.
Preorder II batch 1 section A: That is the only purpose of this and that is why they can ship on the 15th and that is why they can sell only a few devices.

Instead of Preorder II batch 1 section II OR Preorder II batch 2 section I we just need a working ORDER page and sufficient stock in their shipping department.
This is all totally crazy.

I agree with you. It is sad to see Rohan doing this. For people who have been commenting on the blog right from the beginning, the original pre-order invite didn't come.

And all this BS of multiple batches and no invites yet for those people. How do they guarantee that the model a person wants won't be sold out by the time their turn comes to order?

And the estimated shipping date of 15 (Was it Feb? and was it Feb 2011?, LOL!!!)

I wouldn't get excited with the dates that NI comes up with. The guys who've already ordered and that too long time ago are yet to get theirs.


I tried at least four times to order it and my AmEx is not accepted. Somebody else having this problem this time?

This happened to me when I tried to order in preorder I when it was opened to public. Twice and Amex didn't accept it. Call them up and ask them to allow the transaction to go through. It was mentioned in the email invite that came out for preorder II (as posted in page1 of this thread).

Or use a visa. I haven't seen people having those issues with Visa. If you don't have one, then please buy a Visa gift card and use it.

Could you please mention which option did you choose? (Calling Amex or using Visa/Visa gift card). It would benefit others too.


But seriously, anyone know if NI has plans to ship to retailers anytime soon?

There are lots (at the NI blog, here, NIFan blogs) that are waiting to order. I would expect it to take a while for NI to get them through the ordering process, then finish manufacturing and complete shipping/delivery. So retail option would be available only after all this is done.

they will, but not without getting genesis up and having a stabilised version of Eden(with or without honeycomb) and having the basic applications from their partners ready that they have talked about. Say 3 months. :)

To help answer your questions:


NotionAddicts: Can we expect Adam to be available at major store/online retailers in North America any time soon? In Europe? In Asia?
Rohan Shravan: Answer is yes, and we are working with a very big firm on this. But when is something which I have no idea.

I'd be excited to order once I get my email, but the no Mastercard option is pretty sad. I mean come on, SO many people don't use Visa, get with the times.

My wife has a Visa but I'd prefer to not use it if I could avoid it. Is there any chance that they will be able to make M/C available for preorder 2?

can i order 2 Tablets? One for me and one for my mate, or is that link only valid for one tablet purchase?

Congrats! Please be ready to be infinitely patient. Now those of us who've been waiting a long time to order, will continue to wait for the invite.

I am really patient. I've been following pre-order 1 very close, and I expect to see my Adam delivered sometimes in April. If it will be sooner I'll be happy, but regardless of any estimation from NI I am prepared for April.


Could you please mention which option did you choose? (Calling Amex or using Visa/Visa gift card). It would benefit others too.

Actually neither ... on order page AmEx and Visa have different icons. I think AmEx link has a problem ... First time I clicked on AmEx icon and I tried several times, every time with an error message. After I got your message I followed Visa link, and on the next page I was asked if I want to use AmEx or Visa. I chose AmEx and my order went through from the first attempt. On short, doesn't matter if you want to pay with AmEx or Visa, at the beginning choose Visa.

Rightly said. I am also sailing in the same boat with a flag written "Wait for the invite".

Those who received a pre-order 2 email received it as part of batch 1. The goal of batch 1 of pre-order 2 is to ensure that the orders will be trouble-free. By allowing only a small number of people to initially pre-order, Notion Ink can ensure that the information is appropriate and the system is easy for customers, in addition to being able to quickly address any bugs and/or issues that those who pre-order might experience.


Thanks Ownad. Further explanation as to how those initial few were selected and not others would be helpful. Also how NI is going to ensure that people who're going to order in subsequent batches will have the opportunity to select the model/variant that they're interested in.

If that variant is sold out because the previous batch(es) used them up, what's going to be done by NI?

When preorder 1 opened up for public, I tried to place orders twice and it didn't go through. I don't see NI doing anything yet to many such people who had a order# but couldn't fulfill the transaction. They could've been included in the batch 1 of this round of order.

Please feel free to pass on this to NI or Rohan.

I am totally confused atm!

Reading this (http://www.notionaddicts.com/forums/showthread.php/1741-Just-got-PREORDER-email!?p=21111&viewfull=1#post21111) it seems to me the whole batch is done already? And everyone who is not invited yet shell send a message to notion ink support?

The start post still tells "hold your breath" - but maybe this is a little bit outdated?

Please, please make this clear to all of us!

Well think of it like this:
The later you are in the preorder, the longer they have to work out bugs, and the more likely you are to get a adam thats not defective.

That likely is double for pixel qi pre-orders. The origional batch of screens is likely gone, and hopefully qi's warehouse is empty of that older model or nearly empty.
It would mean a newer version screen would likely be shipped to NI.

Its funny i've been a part of notion ink community for more than one year and After get to eap2 and get refused and get an email that said to me i'll be one of the first person to receive adam as a developer but since there is deception after deception! i not only didn't get any mail for the first pre-order but nothing up to now concerning the 2nd pre order!!! :(

beside of this i don't believe that this is the real pre oder II, its as rohan said, just a test to see if they can do better than the last time or not?! let give them a chance maybe this time everybody will be satisfy(what i don't really believe in it but let say a miracle is possible)!

well the Adam may be the 'anointed one' with reference to innovation and performance, but it certainly rates as poorly with reference to availability and clarity of ordering. never before have i seen such effort put into making the purchase of a product so difficult. the website is a masterpiece of obscurity, if you wanted to order one then it is mystifying on how to go about it. if it does not become available soon, then i will purchase a Xoom at least they are transparent on availability and release dates.

Looking forward to a Pixel Qi with 3G.

Lucky you. Till date I haven't received any such communication that I'm on the list of people who can order next. And I've been blogging on NI blog for more than a year. Goes to show how incomplete their process is.

Well Riffer as i said to you i contact notion ink support team and they respond to me really quick it seems that if haven't been part of the previous preoder if you send them a mail they will put you in the priority set but anyway if you wait for a bit longer you will be able to command it online as a usual costumer! (last post of rohan) actually i receive an email from notion ink team and i already command my adam and normally it say that i will recieve between 25 feb ~ 10 march! have a good day!

I'd be excited to order once I get my email, but the no Mastercard option is pretty sad. I mean come on, SO many people don't use Visa, get with the times.

My wife has a Visa but I'd prefer to not use it if I could avoid it. Is there any chance that they will be able to make M/C available for preorder 2?

Other than i dont have amex/visa and only MC , another concern is why would nt NI

get approval from MC ?

Makes one suspicious ? What is it about NI that MC would nt aprove ?

I believe i read here or somewhere , Rohan at one time said NI had applied to MC

then recently i believe he/someone said MC was ready for pre order 2

Now its not available , more double talk ?

Not only does the no MC scenario put me 100% out of any pre orders , but it also

raises suspicions

Can any kind folk bring some clarity to all this situation ?

Thanks

you gotta watch out, the info you enter at notioninks store doesn't properly transfer to the ccavenue website (esp. phone number and names)

so double check that

and after the ccavenue page it took me to a Verified by VISA (http://usa.visa.com/merchants/risk_management/vbv.html)page where i had to activate that, but it went well like a breeze


my concern at the moment is though i can't check my order status with the check preorder status link on their homepage, but i guess that'll come soon enough

I wasted enough time on this product.
