[Discussion] SAYGUS V2
- Thread starter esimon311
- Start date
I have been quite polite about Saygus up until now, but ...
Saygus are now promising to ship the "first batch" of phones at the end of this year, and then to give a free exchange to a new version of the phone with a Snapdragon 820 at a later, unspecified date.
I think that is an offer that could be superficially attractive to some of Saygus's long-suffering customers, so I would just like to point out that there has to be a strong risk that none of this ever happens. In other words, the V Squared may not ship at all, and even if it does, customers may never see the promised upgrade.

Just sayin'.

They will simply ship nicely printed specs sheet with the blank field for CPU details where you could put your own desired chip model.
yeah, kinda hard to believe that it's been close to 2 years now. i think there were close to 2,000 pre-order customers, the ones that bought in right at the start. i wonder how many of those are still onboard ?
LOL! Yeah, I can't imagine anyone believes a word they say after the hundredth time they've claimed their "review devices" are in. They haven't even fake-promised a shipping date yet, so I'm sure it will be another few months until they update their customers again.
What would be incredible is if they actually did ship phones one day and it actually lived up to all the promises the company made. I'd say the chances of that happening are 1 million to 1 at this point.
Anyway, I'm glad I already got my refund and moved on; I can't imagine the stress of waiting over 2 years for them to release a phone. I'm just looking forward to hearing the story behind the scenes about what happened at Saygus, if it ever gets published. I'm sure it would make for an interesting cautionary tale.
Over a year and a half after cancelling my order and on a hunt for the third new phone since, I suddenly remembered this disaster and decided to check up on it. It's like I never left. All that time and they're still making the same exact claims. I really just wanted to see some progress one way or another, to see that either this was finally determined without question to be a scam or that they'd finally done it. Now I'm wondering if we'll ever know. Part of me wonders if they're really, truly trying to release it and just having a hell of a time, but still pushing onward, and that part of me actually feels for them. But I still think it's just a scam to make interest on other people's money.
Also a year and a half since I got my refund. I'm looking for my 4 phone since that time. They would have to drive to my place of work and give it to me free to except one now. And it's only 22miles.

Interesting... I'm always a bit baffled by Chad's interviews. His frankness in this article is a welcome change, but I always wonder why his company doesn't communicate this attitude more clearly to their customers.
A little humility, ownership, and honesty on their Twitter account and update emails would go a long way in helping with their PR problem. Instead, they just spread false optimism and lies, covered up with piles of excuses. Why do they keep making things worse for themselves?
Eleven letters.
P.O.N.Z.I. S.C.H.E.M.E.
"The Snapdragon 801, as solid a CPU from Qualcomm as it is, is basically at the end of its life. Saygus promises a lofty, free exchange for V-Squared owners. Sometime after the current-spec model is released, those that pre-ordered will be able to trade in their V-Squared for a new device with beefier specs, namely a Snapdragon 820 CPU (same device, upgraded components)."
What an absolutely insane comical joke.
I still remember way back when where Saygus was all upset because they didn't think KickStarter or IndieGoGo or whatever it was was under a requirement to refund money. They thought "buyers" were just giving them free money without any liability.

Yeah, I don't see how that will ever happen... I don't think Saygus has the competence or the money to be able to give away free phones with a completely new chip that they have no experience with. This company's promises always smell strongly of the old saying, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

At this point, I don't see how these people aren't in prison yet. They've stolen millions.
How is Saygus still in business?
When faced with another V2 delay back on May 21, 2015 Saygus tweeted "We are smartphone specialists who have launched many phones." It appears that all they have launched are refunds (with some delayed for months, according to posts). The handful of orders that remain can not possibly save this project.
It'd only make sense of it was an investment scam, not a retail scam.
That they missed their latest Christmas deadline didn't surprise anyone.

it's been~ 2 months since that fellow in germany updated his saygus site so i guess this adventure is finally over for him also.
