Notion Ink Adam Pre-order 2 Now Open

[ownad]

Ah, the moment many have been waiting for! Notion Ink has begun the second round of pre-orders for the Notion Ink Adam. As previously mentioned, all NotionAddicts' members as of 11PM Pacific Standard Time on January 23, 2011 should soon be receiving an email invitation from Notion Ink for a chance to pre-order a Notion Ink Adam!

The options available are the following:

Notion Ink Adam with LCD & WiFi (no 3G) - $375 USD
Notion Ink Adam with LCD, WiFi & 3G - $425 USD

Notion Ink Adam with Pixel Qi display & WiFi (no 3G) - $499USD
Notion Ink Adam with Pixel Qi display, WiFi & 3G - $549 USD

**Shipping is flat-rate globally at $50 USD**

SPECIAL NOTES:

1. You MUST call your bank and tell them that you would be doing this transaction, specially in the case where you have not done a high value transaction in the past. If your bank issues a chargeback, Notion Ink will not be able to resolve the issue, as it can only be resolved after your Bank gets your confirmation from you about the transaction. Your bank’s system might still show that the transaction has been processed in such a case, but wouldn’t be actually.
2. Please check the Terms and Conditions and Warranty Policy carefully.
3. The order placements are done on first come first served basis.
4. Notion Ink follows one price policy for the world and will be directly shipping from China. The end customer would be required to pay any customs duty, if applicable in their respective countries.
5. Currently there is no other source of buying so you should be beware of merchandisers calling themselves as authorized distributors of Notion Ink’s Adam, nor is there any other way to pay for the devices except CCAvenue Payment gateways.

For more information regarding the second round of pre-orders, please visit the official Notion Ink blog.

Will you be pre-ordering during this second round? Let us know what you think by replying!

@Ownad
Could you confirm whether I was on the list or not. I am *name removed* and I registered on December 16th. I haven't received any e-mail yet from NI. I am getting a bit restless because, if I am not on your list, the chances of me getting the invite are low.

Tried to order but transaction was denied. Got a call for fraud. Told them to its not fraud and now will try again in some.

I was very happy to finally receive the pre-order email ( I never got the pre-order 1 email) and was looking forward to placing my order for a Pixel Qi Wifi model.

However, when I tried to place my order, I was stymied by the order form which refused to accept my phone number because it was in the wrong format and not long enough!
In Singapore the phone format is Country code (+65) folllowed by 8 digits. This apparently is not accepteable by the order form which kept asking me to correct my phone number because it was lacking the phone format and length of a us phone number.

I thought of padding the phone number with leading zeroes but I was worried that putting a false number here would automatically block my purchase since the clearing agency sometimes verifies the phone number against their records.

I sent an email to the support address to ask if they could fix/suggest something but I got no feedback.

So after missing the pre-order 1 , it appears that I will need to miss the pre-order 2 as well, because of this.
I am very disappointed that such a silly thing like a bad formating in an order form can block my ordering.

Two suggestions to Notion Ink
1. Don't assume all phone numbers around the wold follow the same convention of length and format.
If you want to make phone numbers manadatory in your order form, don't validate the field based on format and length - only validate that it is numeric.

2. Don't make the State/Province field mandatory - Not all countries have states/provinces either.


Bottom line, I wanted to order, but I cannot order so I will now probably start looking at the Xoom or other alternatives...
I cannot wait any longer - I postponed my purchase of a tablet for over a year, since I first heard of the Adam... now I am no longer wiling to wait for pre-order3!

I had the same problem with the city field... Since I have to ship it to [ 's Graveland ] (with the apostrophe, without brackets), which resulted in "Your order has been cancelled. Try again."

Did you not already pre-order yours in the first batch?

[boozy]

Well, I received the invitation to pre-order, and i followed the link.
Everything went just fine, but the form is a little restrictive...minor thing IMHO
Now the long wait will begin, estimated shipping date is 25th february to 10th of March....
