Well, the top comment says they waited for 6 months until they requested a chargeback. The grand parent says they got theirs after 7 months. Not a contradiction.

The have been numerous such alternative phone and tablet projects during the last 12 years or so. Crowding funding or with a bit more of a commercial touch. All have failed to to deliver on time I would claim. Many if not most have failed to deliver at all. I would not call the founders dishonest. But whoever starts such a project lacks realism. It's incredibly complicated to make a phone, let alone a good one.

(I don't say the world would be a better place without optimists and over-optimists.)
