Re: ZX Spectrum Next Discussion
Yes, a batch went out yesterday. Henrique said the other day:
“Hi folks! We're shipping the first batch of the Accelerated units now. It's a lot of machines to ship, so it's going to take us a few weeks to do so -- but some of you will receive an email with tracking info tomorrow. We're now shipping by country due to the disruption, so first is the UK (including Scotland and Ireland). We're sending 360 units out this week, then again next week, and then the week after -- it's going to take 3 batches to deal with the UK before we move to the international ones, so bear with us!
If your backer number is #1302 or lower, and in the UK, you're in this batch. Almost there...
Phew! Back to work we go!!!”

I'm 2200 & something. Not had any emails about delivery in inbox (or spam) yet.
Re: ZX Spectrum Next Discussion
I know it's been said elsewhere but blimey the Next is physically lovely in the flesh. It does look and feel like a Spectrum, and the modern concessions are all hidden away discretely. The size is surprisingly small too, but not cramped. Bloody lovely. Rick Dickinson left us something very beautiful.

I won’t say anymore, or those who have not yet had theirs may get a little upset...
Oh, I have now managed to get my hands on a Pi Zero

Standby alert
“There are four lights!”
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

Mike C says:
"Are you looking at images of people receiving their Next's and feeling down, because you're still waiting on yours?
Another batch of accelerated models is due to be collected by our logistics partner tomorrow. They will then speed out into your hands.
Again, this is fulfilment to UK addresses only at this point. Deep apologies to those who live further afield but we will get to you, we promise.
If you are in the UK, and your backer number is between 1304 and 2406 (inclusive), you're in the list. Shipping information and the emails should start arriving on Tuesday/Wednesday.
We can't wait to see your unboxing photos!"

I know! Imagine being #2406 and not getting the extra delayed gratification that Mr Reynholm will be enjoying!

Look what arrived just now!
I did not get any sort of dispatch notification.

Re: ZX Spectrum Next Discussion
Are Spectrum Nexts considered essential deliveries, then?
Re: ZX Spectrum Next Discussion
The SMS factory has not been advised to shut down. They make all kinds of electronics including medical equipment.
Regarding the lack of emails, these are coming directly from the courier. A lot have been disappearing into spam folders, and even more have been rejected by people’s email servers. It seems that Yodel’s SMTP server is not trusted by some cloud email services, maybe because of how their DNS is configured. Also some people have reported the email arrived after the package did.

My only disappointment is that the internal cardboard was ripped.
