Re: It's still rather disappointing
Second production run is under way this week, so another 1000 or so backers will be getting Gemini.
Keyboard problem is identified in some sub-standard rubber spring-mats and some new ones have been sent out to some people, a doddle to fit.
And the feedback from the first batch is going into the QC on the new batch, so expect a few of those teething troubles to reduce.
Surprised nobody has mentioned the X25/X27 chipset issue. Midway through the campaign the SoC spec was upgraded slightly from Mediatek Helios X25 to X27 with a little bit of extra clock speed and some power management features. But the Chinese SMT contractor used up its old stock of X25s on the first batch so the early backers got a downgraded SoC. This was not even noticed until the devices got into backer hands.
