Shipping Started

I backed their Kickstarter and have 5 to be shipped, hopefully in the first batch since there were only 148 backers at that level, which corresponds to 740 at the highest backer level. I suspect they will try to meet those orders first if at all possible, but regulatory approval and variance in shipping from Asia will make it unpredictable, but I’m still optimistic.

I believe the US is slated to get 20k of the initial 50k of the first worldwide shipment, of which 5k is supposed to go out ~February or so from the looks of it. I just got verified as a backer on their Discord. I’m pretty excited!

I had to poke around a fair bit to figure out what this thing is. You won't:

Since HN automatically replaced the title: this blog entry describes Flipper Zero assembly, QA and shipping process.

Very interesting look into the backstage of electronics mass production.
