UPDATE

The dates on Dynamism have changed, the 3g version’s shipment is expected to be on the 15th instead of the 19th. So for those of you who purchased the 3g version, we may be getting them a few days earlier. Only a few more days to go.

Had to stay up until 3am in Australia to pre-order the Viliv N5 from Dynamism. Made sure to get in early so I could get one from the first batch of units being sent out. It has been a long time since I was so excited for any mobile gadget, the last time being the release of the first generation iPhone.  I really can’t wait for the 19th to come any sooner; being the expected shipping date. I will hopefully be posting a quick unboxing followed by a lot of hands on demonstrations.

The hype for the N5 has been huge since its initial announcement but its seems as though the excitement for the product has dramatically dropped since the official specifications were released. Many users are complaining about the lack of video out functionality while others are disappointed at its high price point. Personally I have been waiting for a device which can run a fully functional OS which can also fit in my pocket and this fits the bill perfectly. The UMID range cane very close but the built quality and the aesthetics of Viliv’s products really caught my eye.

Does the lack of video out really bother you that much and is $649USD really too much to ask?
