Having less than 200 votes here will not necessarily mean that the missing people gave up on the Neo900. They might have. It may even be likely. But they might just have not answered a poll in a forum they barely follow, asking them a question too difficult to answer until they know the release date and price.

Investing in the project was a gamble in the first place, but answering Yes or No to the poll at this time is like flipping a coin unless you already know for sure that you don't want the device and prefer to let go the initial down payment. Some people are in that situation, but not all, and even if Pichlo was very careful in the way he asked the question, the bias is still here and it is a lot more difficult to tell that you will wait and pay "no matter what" if you're a potential yay, than say no if you're a nay.

Finally, categories 1, 2 and 3 are not mutually exclusive, and users that fall in category 1 may or may not fall into the others, so I still believe it will be very hard to draw any sound conclusion from the outcome of the poll other than "some people lost interest". Even that would have only little relevance, since the plan is not to limit devices to those few backers, but demonstrate a working prototype thanks to their investment and use it to start a crowdfunding campaign. The objective is to involve new backers that wouldn't take the risk we took years ago, but would still pay for a Neo900 once its production is secured as long as the minimal crowdfunding goal is reached. If the team goes for one of this kickstarter/indiegogo plans where people can back the project and be refunded their money if the goal is not reached, then it seems very feasible to me to get new people commiting, as long as there is some media coverage about the only open and secure hwkb phone around.
