Keept checking it mate - mine didn't hit Milton Keynes depot until 7:30 and was put out for delivery at 7:35 ... there's hope.

From what I hear, those who've had their orders cancelled have to take part in the lottery again today when "apparently" the Vega goes on sale again.

Good luck to everyone.

May the schwartz be with you.

Paul, based on those details I'd say out for delivery today - Hatfield is just under a 100 miles from Norwich and they left Hatfield at 5am ... their trunker vehicles are artics so they are limited to 55mph - slower still if they have other stops on the way then a little later. I'd not give up hope - besides if it ends up held in depot then you could also ring your local depot and collect if you bring ID ... I've done that before.

In case anyone feels the need but, be warned they are "challenging" to get in touch with ... (recall from my missing Xbox360 saga when they came out first).

Paul,

My parcel arrived at Hatfield at 19:58 last night and departed a few minutes later. I'm from Ipswich and my parcel arrived at the Ipswich depot at 2:35am. It isn't showing out for delivery yet, as my last status is "Scanned as part of secure process".

Hope this helps!

Hmmm, not gonna go out today then I would assume!

[Guest Paul]

If it doesn't come today i'll survive waiting until tomorrow... just! B)

Don't know, but mine is still in Ipswich depot now (not out for delivery), so maybe they'll go out for delivery later this morning?

If not, I'm probably in the same boat as you, the only problem is that I'm about 80 miles away at work in Cambridge, so even if it does arrive in the next ten minutes, I'm not going to able to play with my new toy until about 7pm tonight!

Told ya ... keep watching. All depends how close you are to the depot ... if its too late for the regular first runs then they'll get it potentially on a second.

Remember though - its on their regular trunking vehicle so these are the timings that they are used to operating under.

Yup - by close of day I bet you're holding an Advent Vega ... whether you're trying to understand why you purchased it or not is a question we all want to answer. B)

[Guest Paul]

Not wishing to state the obvious... but until we have a confirmed way to backup / restore, be VERY careful when hacking your shiny new device!

Trust me, I know from experience how easy it is to break things... B)

[Guest shutdown]

i wish someone would have one and tell us what it's like!

i'm considering taking part in the lottery later (if it happens) but really want to know if it's any good

[Guest JingleManSweep]

Mine is now showing "Out For Delivery" from Ipswich depot (at 9.10am)

[Guest ricwales1]

[Guest bewA]

[Guest]

[Guest Paul]

I've started 2 topics for people to post their initial impressions and for devs to post hack progress... B)
