    I'm interested in purchasing one of these and would like to know where's the best place to buy it from? A European seller would be great! Anybody have one and where did you get it??

    I have mine about two week's. Very, very, very pleased with it. :)

    Sorry I can't help you with an EU seller because I orderd it from Hong Kong and had to wait over a month for it to arive AND had to pay tax on it.(you dont get taxed if you order from within EU) :(

    Did you order from DealExtreme (based in Hong Kong)? I did about a week and a half ago and got a customs letter today. Unfortunately I've read that theres a problem with the d-pads of this seller :(

    Yes, from DealExtreme. If your talking about not being able to press 'y' ect and use the dpad at the same time I think that's been fixed in the latest bios.

    Nope I saw a review over at gbatemp where they got 3 of them from DealExtreme and there was a problem with pressing the down button on all of them. Could be bull**** but they said you can't press the down button rapidly in succession. I won't know for sure until I get my one tomorrow.

    Well I got my Dingoo. There's nothing wrong with the D-pad unlike what that gbatemp review said. To be honest I'm a little disappointed. I installed Dingux but I've had no end of problems with it to be honest. It was constantly corrupting the MiniSD card filesystem or whatever. Another problem is sometimes I start up Picodrive and the game doesn't play correctly and it crashes. I have to reboot or power off and the next time it usually works.

    All in all it's a little too buggy for my liking. Regret not paying a little extra and getting a PSP or Wiz.

    I was extremely disappointed with the Wiz, sold it and bought a psp slim which I'm much happier about

    The sucessor to the wiz is due out in August. It's called the Caanoo. Might be alright...

    Never knew that. I was going to get a Wiz but I'll hold off now. Thanks :)

    I was in the same position as you a few months ago. I liked the cheapness of the A320, but was dubious about it's abilities. I wasn't sold on the Wiz's button config, and extra features that were unused. I decided to hold off on either.

    The Caanoo should be an improvement. It'll be no pandora though... oh baby...

    I googled and found a thread about Caanoo at gp32x.com forums and unfortunately there's a lot of negativity. We'll have to wait and see.

    What's the big deal with the Pandora? I mean it looks awful in my opinion but it seems to have a great rep?
