Damn, and I just put in an order for the PinePhone 1.5 days ago.

Just emailed them to see if they can make this work, and upgrade appropriate for the difference.

Well, the "Explorer Edition" units haven't gone on sale yet. Right now only developer units are on sale, and those are strictly for developers who will contribute to the kernel, firmware, drivers, and shell. But I'm sure they will be willing to process a refund for you if your device hasn't shipped out yet, otherwise you'll have to return it minus the cost of shipping.

I just received the email indicating that they've issued a refund.

Hopefully, I'll be included on the early batch, and can contribute to helping make the overall GUI experience better.
