OQO shipping and UNBOXED


Now I know I took a bunch of c&%p for stating that the OQO Model 02 was shipping and well I guess this shows you OQO wasn't lying.. For those who bashed me over at jkOntheRun including James Kendrick the webmaster. James comment.. ..

OEMs rely on sites like ours to help promote their products. They do not get to pick and choose what we post so that only positive stuff gets mentioned about their products. If we did that we would be doing our readers a disservice. The only thing new to come out of the OQO response quoted above is that instead of the 2 week delay there is actually a 4-6 week delay.

As of today we are seeing a good friend of Mobility Today received an actual production OQO Model 02 shipped to them today! Well how about that!

According to the Boy Genius....…Now shipping to only the freaks who ordered it the second it went on sale customers everywhere, the OQO 02 will finally be in people's hands. There has been an enormous amount of improvement from the prototype model we have and that's always a great thing to see. A manufacturer that actually fixes things before shipping. We won't get into the nitty gritty about specs and details as that's been covered before, but I can say that I'm waiting for Sprint to shut down my data account due to over usage. It's that hot!



Hmm.. James now tell me the OQO Model 02 isn't shipping?

Thanks Loke. Your comments are very generous. Mike I am sorry for your disappointment and hope you continue to visit. I have been around for almost 7 years and one thing I will not do is report based on my own feelings. If a site has a hidden agenda it should be announced at that time, case closed. I myself have no hidden agenda at all other than reporting the truth not misleading my audience. I think I have done a fantastic job of this.

Am I outspoken? Hell Yeah! Why not? I don't get freebies for positive reviews. I don't review crap products (but I will let everyone know I dont like it).. Either way I am sincere and passionate.

Btw, I saw the OQO Model 02 this morining a matter of fact at RCS. So can OQO make everyone happy at once? Hell no! But I would rather wait my turn (first come first serve) and receive a product that I know alot of QC went into..

BTW, I noticed your only comments at MT are complaints about Dualcor?

Just my 2 cents..
I would beg to differ. Some is whinning, but other of it is passion about what he does. You cant be monotone and just stick to the facts if you have a passion for it. I dont think this site would have gone anywhere had just the cold facts been discussed. And just for the record, anyone of us would probably go back to 3rd grade at a drop of a hat because it was simple and fun, maybe you should visit. :)
This is getting ridiculous. Mr. Ciccone- i admit, you are a staple in the world of tech reporting, but you've got to let all this 3rd grade name calling go. Just report on tech stuff and let it end there. I'm sure you have a HUGE following of people, but frankly the only reason i read Mobility Today and your personal blog is to review the mad ramblings- your personal blog (and again, i understand that it's your blog and you can do with it as you please) is 90% whinning and offensive-defense.

i don't know you, and i have no right to say this- but having followed your website since the early days, you seem to have lost your way- you are so angry about something that you've stopped concentrating on your strength- reporting about tech

that said, using "BoyGenius" as proof for whether or not a product is shipping is not a good defense. he gets final production quality products way before anyone does.

Not that it matters, but this will be my last post- i'll just quietly sit back and watch all the fighting and name-calling from the sidelines.
Also you can pick one up on Ebay!
