Fatih and his trusty translator are making their presence felt in China, and they’re all out of bubblegum. EvilDragon reports via Twitter:
Fatih and his friend are constantly phoning up the chinese company to make them work faster. Not easy dealing with chinese companies…
Fresh news from Fatihs chinese speaking friend. He phoned with the company.
he wanted me to explain you that you will thank him when you see the case he had to make a lot of working on current mould. and tested a lot
“now they are 100% sure, it’s perfect. he will send the samples tomorrow morning.” It’s night in China already. Let’s hope…
Wait, wasn't New Years like a month ago?

I can confirm it. That statement(including the assurance that everything will be ready before the New Year) came from Fatih this morning after his friend had asked for confirmation in Chinese.

Maybe we’ll finnaly get those delicious images some time next week!
We spoke to the factory, they confirmed the moulds are finished and they are shipping final samples this weekend.

We’ve learnt something. Chinese English and English is definately not the same.
Good thing a friend of Fatih does speak Chinese. For the company, he’s now our official represantative. As he could speak with them in their native language, a lot of things cleared up.
Case Update

Update (to the update?):
The boards will be done before Christmas, there is no delay there.
At least the Chinese don’t have christmas in the way of their work.
They are already working on fixing the issues. We expect an update on Saturday.
No, it’s not a green light. MWeston has found a few issues with the cases that need to be solved before mass production can begin.

Craig uploaded a neat video showing off an unrelated Chinese PSP clone and an early cardboard mockup Pandora (starting at ~1:40)
EDIT: Oh yeah, and there’s also an assembled (real) Pandora in there too 
Video after the break.
