Sure he offers refunds, but how many people are going to do that effort AND will meet this two week deadline? Oh yeah and while 1653 people were waiting I was actually working on another project! What kind of bs is that I mean really. People ask in the igg page to extend this refund period untill after this new phone is available for sale and that is the only question not answered. It fits the picture.

But yeah who am I kidding, making a kwkbd phone is a lot easier that just making a kb obviously. Q4 release is obviously a realistic timeline and this time just give him a bit more money and he superpromises to not let you wait for a year before cancelling this time. Sure

Why hack on each other? Why give your honest opinion when you want to protect your guys from burning 160k?

Dave, I leave the honours of starting the 11 day countdown till Q4 starts and qphone deliveries start to you
Well, Refund does not seem as easy as it sounds. I have covered all IGG platform cost, bank wire cost, PayPal cost and most importantly, the R&D and molding cost myself, plus the unused components and PCB costs.

But I chose to refund, despite all the above. There are a lot of projects that was undelivered on IGG, but I don't think everyone chose my way.

This project was cancelled for various reasons, but obviously the most of it was lack of support from official side. This one was too much relied on a nearly dead platform, I learned my lessons.

I don't see the point of extending refund period, if you don't trust, fine just ask for a refund. If you choose to support then support. There are more than 2 weeks to make the decision why that is still not enough?

Moreover, there are quite a few members here has received a unit of Keyboard Mod for free, the project was intended for delivery, there is just something we cannot get easily and putting blame on me is unfair, to be honest.

There are quite a number of members have also seen the pics and videos of the next project. I don't want to comment more at this stage, but time will prove.

I also feel ashamed on you. Yes you delivered, but that was a unusable crap and not even closer to the Keyboard Mod's prototype quality. I respected you, but what I see is a gloating clown.

I wish you DO NOT edit what you've said. And I would not.
