Gaming K101 up for preorder!

[RyanRDLPS]

1. We will update FREE SHIPPING to the Flat rate one- these orders will be provided tracking number after delivered. Normally it will take you about 10-20 business days to receive it after our delivery. As Christmas Day is coming near, there may be a little delay for the shipping. We suggest you wait patiently. Kindly get back to us if you need any help.

I'm afraid there must have been some mis-communication. This product was supposed to be delivered the end of September. We are now approaching the end of November. And, if I understand this right I will see the item in about two, to three weeks? I shudder to think what "FREE SHIPPING" consisted of, in terms of delivery time.
When I said you should provide free shipping for orders I didn't mean a two-three week turn-around. All orders should be sent out via the service that will have this to your customer base by the end of the month. In other words, one week. We are not new customers, I payed for multiple units back through the end of August. I believe in this product, and have been looking forward to it ever since.

Believe me, I wouldn't be even raising a single issue if this was still October even. However, I payed over seventy dollars a piece for this product that could of gone to something else for one of the greatest video game release seasons in history. I hope you see my point. I would like to see these delivered in one week.

Once they are on my doorstep, then you have my permission to ship to new customers however you would like.

Sorry we do not test this kind of battery. So we can not tell you if this battery can work for K101. You will take your risk when you replace other battery on K101. Make sure you got enough skill to do this. Thanks.

Totally understand, my dear customer.

We had updated the shipping to the Flat rate one. Normally it will be there within 10 business days if you are in USA. It may be a little longer for other countries. Possibly it is 10-20 business days. Apologize for this delay. It is coming near to Christmas Day, shipping will be a little delay. Hope you can understand. Thanks.

Made in China Nokia BL-5B "clone"

Here comes the battery from a prototype :

Looks like the same type of battery so should be fine.

Not all that important, but why is the revok101.com site a knockoff of Skyroam's Gmate site?
The product pages are where it goes a bit too far.

I have full confidence in the product, and I hope to hear that mine shipped soon, but this isn't very professional.

My wasn't shipped and my order number is in the first 30.

Thanks pyromaniac123 for the info.its very easy to remove the battery because its not solder to the pcb so i dont need skills.im glad that my preorder shipped today :-)

I saw this over the summer and thought it was a pretty neat idea. Makes for a great evolution to the GBA. Those games are still great!

I didn't order one until now, though. I moved back home recently, and living with my family has made me feel particularly generous this holiday season. My sister likes the Pokemon games, and for her to be able to have them all, on one device, that plays them with no problem, will be fantastic.

Hopefully my order will get here before Christmas. With any luck, this nifty little piece of hardware will be just as nice as it looks. Keep up the good work guys!

Revok101.com is still being making. It will be OK in this near days.

We had shipped out 30 units Revo K101 yesterday. The next 30 units will be shipped out on next Monday. The shipping company will not arrange shipping during weekend. Kindly wait patiently. Orders in August and early September will be shipped out at that time.

As the first batch Revo K101 has the quantity limited, we can not ship out all orders this time. But the next batch will be available soon. You guys will receive your item soon.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

I am seriously considering getting one of these for my cousin for christmas. Thing is, he already has a shitty PSP ripoff that plays GBA and SNES games very laggy with shitty controls, and doesn't seem to mind it. Also, he's only 6. So there might not be much point. This thing also won't play SNES very well/at all AFAIK so to him it may be worse than what he has now, even though the one he has plays the games terribly.

I might have kept my old DS lite if i knew GameStop would pay so little for it, and give him that and a flashcart, plus my EZ3-in-1. I could still give him my old phat DS but I'd rather keep that in case i need it if I accidentally update my DSTWO before my 3DS and can't use it.

 

[pyromaniac123]

@ruilong , can you post an updated picture of the battery? Want to know the exact type so I can buy a spare.

 

[sukoshi]

@pyromaniac123: it's a Nokia form factor battery : BL-5B.

Ironically, let's remind us that this battery also was the battery in the Nokia N-Gage :-)

Hey, really, what's the problem, my order number is < 30 but I haven't got my shipping email yet

Don't worry, my friend. All orders placed during August will be send out till tomorrow. We do not arrange shipping today as it is in weekend. You will be reminded and offered the tracking number after that.

I had asked the factory for the picture of the battery. Once I got it, I will release it here.
