Agreed on both points. I love the swing down arm as well. The added benefit, it protects the device. And...if the size of the final unit, remained the same, I'm good with that too : ) I've seen units much bigger than that one ; )
The thing I really like about the swing down arm, is when the arm is in the down position, it covers the switch and the dial. So when you put it in your pocket, it wont accidently fire. I am really digging the performance and I too am waiting to see the final design.

And too be honest, even if this was the design they went with, the layout is user friendly and it feels good in the hands, so I would be happy with this, but still excited to see how and what they change on it. I do know that the rubber strip around the unit will not be there anymore and that the channel they machined for it will not be there.

OMG ugly or not...and it's not nearly as ugly as I had it in my head LOL. I would take this baby, right now...as is...I NEED it!!!! ; )
Nope. I am more than capable of taking my own pictures, and even editing them. The wife works for her friend who owns a tattoo shop, and she uses the camera to take pictures of the new ink work, since it's a pretty nice camera.

That being said.... behold the RedneckDarwin!

Yes, as you can see my all my replies...and I better stop or I'll get accused of spamming LOL...that I'm going through this thread page by page. I'm only on 11 and there are 27. You are right, I do like the duct tape, always have...but the camo is particularly nice!!!! I can't wait to be blown away : ) FYI I really love your post on page 11 that begins "It's kind of funny. A guy comes on here, has both a vv device and the Darwin, tells you its different, and everyone still wants to say, its the same thing. The Darwin IS different. Period." Niiiiiice ; ) Also I saw a post that eluded The Darwin may be ready mid to late December. Well we are at that point. I'll have to do more teading, (I've been to the website) to see if there is any new ETA on this baby. Nuff said...or like I said...I'm gonna get in trouble LOL ; ) Oh wait, but b4 I go I would also like to reply to Candre23 here as well...I too am wondering what the initial price range of this baby is going to be as well. Well....time to read on : )

yeah the duct tape is nice...lol I liked the camo tape better. If the first design didnt bother you at all (and for me, it really didnt) the final version will blow ya away

Nope. The only indication was from Angus last night saying possibly tonight ( meaning last night). I would think it is imminent.

The post by the supplier is imminent... or at least, it better be. Guess I will have to call him again tonight and rattle his cage a bit. (Hear that, Brandon???)

Release is very close. It won't be in time for Christmas, but it won't be long after, I'm sure.

At the risk of getting in trouble for spamming LOL...Angus, it has taken me all afternoon, on and off, but I just got to this part, and I think I've proven my love and affection for the camo duct tape, therefore I deserve to win it ; ) Man and just to think 2 pages ago, I almost "capped" on you...being a man...and owning a chihuahua. Thank God, I dodged that bullet...D'oh!" ; )
Small update:referring to pages 16 and 18.

Also, instead of returning my Darwin at the end of the beta, I talked Brandon into letting me use it as a prize in some sort of contest or giveaway... complete with camo duct tape. Hopefully it will end up in the hands of someone who can appreciate it's "redneckiness".

Hey, don't hate on the Chihuahuas. They're funny little guys. Does it help to know that we also have Irish Wolfhounds, which are the tallest breed of dog in the world? Does that buy me any "man points"?

You like the camo duct tape, eh? Then you're gonna love this... Brandon thinks his anodizer might be able to double hard anodize (just like the black) in a camo pattern. :shock: (As well as leopard print, etc...) While black may be the only color available at release, it's possible they'll offer some really nice colors shortly afterward.

I got off the phone with him a little bit ago. He's gonna work on trying to get his web site up and running tonight so he can upgrade his supplier status here on the ECF. So no announcement tonight. :(
