I thought I did an update on this, so let me repeat the update, and add some details.
The DVT run, the design verification was completed a bit ago and the design has been verified. For a short Time I had some worries about landscape mode, but Engineering figured out that the issue was driver setting. PVT is proceeding. At least 3 PVT runs are planned and phones from PVT are headed back to Tiawan. During PVT there are always minor tweaks. This PVT will be no different than any other PVT. You build 100 phones, you find out that 85 work, you tweak the process to improve that. You build another batch. Since DVT is passed all that is left is production details. Running the lines, tuning the process. Trust me This is not a time to bug an engineer and ask " is done yet?" "are we there yet?" So what happens from here on out. First we have to complete PVT. That means we have to review all the PVT builds And then we have to decide to start Mass Production. And then we have to schedule our start date. Finally, if people want an early sample and can convince me that they have a good business idea, send me mail. I have a very small number of samples headed my way and I want to make sure I listen to ideas and proposals I havent heard.

Hello, Just wondering, is there any news regarding the status of the PVT runs? Will a new design be needed / is the current one good for mass production / minor tweaks needed / whatever?
