This is what I think the situation is, based on the information we have. We know the live chat is run by another company and staffed by reps who have nothing to do with Saygus. Initially they were telling us exactly what they had from Saygus, and possibly filling in the holes with what they thought made sense. Now after all the backlash they've been receiving as a result of them giving out misinformation or more accurately outdated information, because Saygus hadn't updated them, they have taken a "we don't know either" approach. That's probably the safest thing they can do to avoid making either side unhappy. It's not the chat reps fault so don't rip on them too bad, just give them the facts and don't make it personal.

Wow...
The response from Mr.Rhodes highlights just how dysfunctional this whole process has become. One can suggest "don't shoot the messenger", however it seems to be the only avenue for information from Saygus one can hope for. It appears the call center employees really don't anything, or they are getting better at spewing white noise, much like their masters in Utah.
Sadly no one is any closer to the truth... Queue the theme from X files here...

Haha, seems like Saygus has communication issues with their communication agency.

I don't disagree. I'm pretty sure the folks behind Samuel Rhodes avatar were given scripted answers to common questions but not really provided much more detail than us. Some might be more comfortable freelancing with their answers while others just stick with the "I don't know anymore than you" approach. I don't blame them at all. But at this point 24/7 chat is all but useless, they just don't have any answers to questions beyond "watch your email in the coming days." oh well

so if saygus had to do a change of manufacturer would not that mean that someone would have to pack up all the stuff to move to another site or do companies now lease a site and then the manufacturer sends in a team and in the event of changes it is just a matter of swapping out a team? also, i am thinking there is now a strong possibility that many if not all preorder phones will have issues. is that just the risk of preorder units?

even if it su**s that we don't know yet anything about the delay it's been 1 week only since last email (including a 3 day weekend). we had some ''news'' on twitter saturday . I think we will receive some infos before the end on the week.
let's just hope it's going to be usefull not something like: we are primed and we are working hard''

As other forum contributors have pointed out already, even for seasoned smartphone makers there is always the risk of the initial batches having defects that are rectified in future batches - almost always those early adopters who support the device immediately will end up with 'worse' devices than those who are late to the party. The Xperia Z1 Compact 'flash bleed' issue springs immediately to mind as an example that burnt me.

Given how late this phone will be, it is practically certain not to have gone through rigorous enough QA, and this does not bode well for the initial devices.

I have been extremely skeptical about this entire project, and have attempted to make my feelings known on this forum.

I fell in love with the phone when I first read of it early in the year, and paid $549 on Feb 3 in hopes of getting my hands on it soon, but that hope faded in the following weeks and months, and early last week I asked Saygus for a refund. I was very unsure they had any cash left at this late date, but they sent me an email saying they had handed off my request to their credit card outfit.

I just learned that my credit card company received $549 on Sunday, and credited it to my account. I wanted to let everybody
know, once again, "just for the record."

I intend to follow this project, and if the phone eventually gets produced and performs at or near its intended goals, I'll probably purchase one because it seems to have all the specs I'm very interested in having in a single device.

As with everyone else on this forum, I'm still hoping for the very best.
Would you mind sharing how long you waited once you opened a ticket for a refund? I've been waiting almost a week at this point and haven't gotten any replies on the ticket at all.

"Seth Parker" told me in live chat that their usual refund response time was 10-15 days.

Call Saygu directly, ask them.

Duration of Refund Request

Would you mind sharing how long you waited once you opened a ticket for a refund? I've been waiting almost a week at this point and haven't gotten any replies on the ticket at all.

I made the request to "Samuel Rhodes" on Sunday, May 17. He directed me to a link where I could fill out a request. On that link I included my number in the Saygus ordering queue, and the date of my payment to Saygus, Feb 3.

On Tuesday, the 19th, I received an email indicating the matter had been handed off to Saygus's credit card outfit. On checking my credit card account on Monday or Tuesday, I found that $549 had been credited to my account by my bank on Sunday, May 24. Front-to-back, the funds were back in my hands less than a week after my request was made.

Needless to add, I was pleasantly surprised.

I preordered the g4 from tmobile today. Free 128gb card from tmo and free battery and charger from lg. Zero down, 25 bucks a month. WiFi calling and lolipop out of the box. If I had the v2 in my hands it would have been a difficult decision, but I don't so it wasn't. I love my gwatch R and the gpad 7 lte I've been playing with. I really wanted a v2 but I don't need the drama. I'll probably cancel my saygus preorder tonight.
