I remember being interested in this years back... and soon gave up.
If I had placed a pre-order in 2016, I'd be seriously p***ed off by now.
OTOH, they could've just given up, so kudos for that.
By the time it comes out the hardware will be almost as out of date as an N900...
This is basically a 'hobby project' and most people paying upfront are still enthusiasts and love this product.
Unlike other projects you could get your money back as well without any problem. Clearly a lot of pre-orders haven't been cancelled and once it is produced new orders will follow as well. It is still a unique device.

Pretty sure there are still folks here who would love to see a Neo900 in 2021 as well, but that is a dream that will never come through...
The Pyra is built with updates in mind though so who knows, maybe an improvement will follow soon for the more demanding customer.
