X70 delayed
Received an email from Dynamism at 3.59am this morning:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your recent order of the Viliv X70. We had hoped to be emailing you with the tracking number, but unfortunately that is not the case. Our shipment has been delayed by the factory. For the record, the delay is due to a components shortage: the recession has been less severe than suppliers expected, and MIDs have been especially popular this year. These factors have led to constraints on some components. We are sorry about this delay.
We know this delay is an inconvenience and we apologize. It is frustrating for us as well when something which is out of our hands comes up, after we work very hard to create a great customer experience. Please know that we are doing everything within in our power to push for fastest possible shipment. We estimate the delay on our first shipment to be about two weeks (August 11th), although we are hoping for less.
Although any order can be canceled for a full refund prior to shipment, we hope that you will bear with us as we do everything within our power to minimize this delay. Nobody should have to wait, but if any device/ deal is worth the wait, this is it. This is a uniquely cool device and a really fantastic package. You may have heard it many times already, but we hope you have not become inured to the value of this device with its great spec and low price point–especially with all those free accessories/upgrades.
We will send another update within the next week, but please let us know if you need anything else in the meantime.
Thank you,
Dynamism Sales
The Viliv boys 
It sucks that they waited ’til the day it was suppose to be shipped to notify us of the delay! It’s not like something happened at the very last minute, they probably knew about this for weeks!
Another take on this is that they didn’t sell as many X70s in the first few days as they had hoped, and decided to save on shipping costs form Korea by including all the orders together. I mean, come on, were they really gonna have the “special” for only the first 777 units?? How would they have determined that anyway? 777 total?….or 777 for each of the 4 choices? And anyway, they had the August 11th ship date on their site before for people who didn’t get in on launch day. Also, why isn’t this “component shortage” affecting the S5s? Is there really a shortage on 7″ displays? Just venting!

Just got of the phone with dynamism today. I was told that my order is still schedule to ship august 5th.
Which one? The S5 or the X70?
Hiyah, what are you requirements for a Viliv? Let us know and we’ll give you out 2 cents’ worth if the S5 or X70 will suit your needs! 🙂
Hi there….I was just asking Mr. Roosevelt if he had ordered the S5 or the X70. He said his order was still scheduled to ship Aug 5th. Looks like it doesn’t matter anymore since my X70 was shipped Aug 4th! YAY!!
