Pandora gets a hands-on review

“The recent reports on Pandora’s case design and controls have
been nothing short of glowing. It’s pretty satisfying information
for the most part; there is no doubt that what we’re hearing from
the team is genuine delight in what they’ve achieved. But the
question has been asked – what would some guy off the street
think of it? (What, is the youthful exuberance of a Newcastle upon
Tyne rooftop matinee not enough for you? Fair enough then.)

“Well, the day has come. Last week, both Craig and EvilDragon
invited forum users to their homes (seriously) to see Pandora for
themselves. This resulted in two great things. One, the image
above. Two, a 500km train journey to ED’s lair undertaken by
guy-off-the-street Balzac2m. Sadly, Balzac2m couldn’t bring a
Pandora back with him. But he did bring back a detailed 2,300 word
report. Are you seated? Let’s begin. .

“Hands-on Pandora preview by Balzac2m

“Today I am invited to a birthday party in berlin, so I took the
opportunity and invited myself to EvilDragon’s home in Ingolstadt
to have a look at his pre-production pandora. While Ingolstadt
isn’t exactly on the way between Karlsruhe and Berlin, I figured
having a premature look at the pandora is well worth a 3:30h/500km
detour. I had quite an early start having to get up at 5:30 in the
morning after 4 hours of sleep. The trainride was as beautiful as I
hoped the pandora would be, the whole country is covered in fresh
white snow, the sun was shining, the weather was sweet (and
freaking cold).”
