No more "PINEPHONE - “Community Edition: UBports" ?

libremax

When you try to checkout you get this message:

"Sorry, we do not have enough "PINEPHONE - “Community Edition: UBports" Limited Edition Linux SmartPhone" in stock to fulfill your order right now. Please try again in 4320 minutes or edit your cart and try again. We apologise for any inconvenience caused."

(4320 minutes = 72 hours)
What does it mean ?

Hopefully it means the Ubports edition is selling well.

@libremax
sure glad i ordered mine a.s.a.p.

@libremax I think you can order now !

Please keep in mind that the campaign is running already for some time and PINE64 needs to limit the batch size. So, if you you cannot order it anymore you will need to wait for the next batch.

And even if the next batch might be one for Plasma Mobile or Sailfish OS you could buy one of those and easily flash the OS of your choice.

@Flohack My question was more about the lack of consistency of the selling process:
PinePhone was first displayed in stock and in the next step the message appeared
suggesting the opposite and inviting to try again at a later date.

Could perhaps be improved.

@libremax Please redirect such things to PINE64 directly, we have no direct influence on them, and we do not relay such matters through UBports organization

Hi Everyone,
It does seem that indeed the batch is nearly completely sold out (for the past 72hrs). The reason why I say 'nearly' is because some people have either added a phone to their basket and not checked out OR checked out but the payment didn't go though. As of 48hrs ago there wae approx. 100 such phones stuck in a limbo. Phones are held in such limbo for a period of 12 hrs before they are release for sale again. If there are still any left, then there are likely no more than 20 left.

PinePhone CE UBports in now out of stock.
But, good news, it seems it will come back.
To the question on pinephone tg group "Does anyone know if and when the Pinephone UBports Edition will be avalible in the store again? " Lukasz answered: "It will be a little while - subscribe to the blog [pine.64] to stay up-to-date"

@libremax There will be some PinePhone announcements soon - they may not, however, be UBports related.
As for the number ... you're very close.
