I went ahead and preordered the U 22 from the Minix US store, also bought the backlit A3 remote when I found out it was available from Amazon. I understand completely what John is saying however I realize what I have done. If I should happen to get my device early common sense tells me that I'm not going to come here on the forum and speak about any issues that I have. This is for two reasons, number one obviously I will have the item prior to the official release date and number two I know if I wait I will get official firmware on release day. The main reason I decided to preorder is because I will most likely be working when the box is released and I didn't want to have to remember to order it.
I'm just so glad that Minix has finally made a worthy successor to the U9H and U1. The support that Minix provides for their products is unparalleled. That's why since I discovered them I have been a loyal customer ever since.
