Howdy!

I was honored to be picked as one of the first 50. I got the order information on July 31st and immediately ordered a black chumby. The store was VERY easy to use and navigate, and I had no problem ordering it. According to the store, it hasn't shipped yet, but I've been told it'll ship early next week. I'll post some pics when I get it. So far, two very hardy thumbs up for the experience!

My pearl Chumby is on it's way! Will have photos up as soon as it arrives.

The ordering process was quick, and intuitive.  The website was clean and easy to navigate.
Very pleased!
I can't wait until Friday.

My black Chumby (aka Chumley) is en route from China in the company of 49 other brand-new Chumbys.

As was noted above, ordering was simple and straightforward.  The web store acted just as I expected; just like any other well-mannered e-commerce site. All of the familiar metaphors (shopping cart, check-out) were there. Were it not for the fact that I was ORDERING A CHUMBY it would have been a typical, run of the mill, on-line shopping experience.

I'll post more (including picture linkage) when the eagerly awaited Chumby arrives.

One more thing...can people who have virtual Chumby become "Chums"?  I'll want to put the Chumby through its paces when it arrives and I'd love to have a few Chums to help me test out the social networking features.

I'm also one of the First 50.  Hubby and I are excited, but he might have to order his own come public release.  *wink*

Mine was shipped today, but won't arrive until monday!  WOE!  Woe is me.  Ok, it's not that bad.

Chumby store was nice, except that it wasn't stocked full of other fun chumby stuff for me to spend money on.  And they spelled my name wrong.  But I'll forgive them, that wouldn't happen in a real situation.  I did, however, enjoy that each Chumby color had its picture taken next to a different object.  Obsessive much?  I picked a pearl.

The only thing I definitely forsee me needing is more AC adapters, one for the bedroom, one for the living room, one for the kitchen, one for my office.  Those 4 at a bare minimum.

What are the rest of you 50 doing until yours get there?

I just recieved my loooovely chumby today. It's very cute and squishy, etc. I will post pictures soon. I have only one little problem and that is that it doesn't have a charm hook. I already spoke to customer service about it. Does anyone else have this problem? I don't want to void the warranty by adding something on, just in case I need help later on.

So far though, this has been amazing! I can't wait to see what everyone else is doing with their chumbys!

Does altering the soft case void the warranty????

The transition from one widget to the next is very smooth.  A little pie-slice-clock shows up faintly in the top left corner as the new widget loads.  The change from widget is very fast.

I'm starting to think about how to organize my channels into useful categories (News/Weather, Entertainment, etc...) for more efficiency.

I got my chumby  yesterday, and after some initial problems connecting to the network I finally have it up and running today. this little device is so cool!

Here are some pictures I wanted to share with all of you!  some are not so good, but oh well.  http://www.flickr.com/gp/11258305@N07/2KZ9E7

About the alarm clock;  Is there a "weekend" setting so that it will not go off on Sat & Sun?
