This is a double post. Here it is the previous discussion : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1177080

On that discussion somebody asked for proofs that the device "advertised" existed for real. We realized that it was something needed to get credibility, so we updated our web site with new pictures shoot today. Please visit it at :

Your feedback of any kind is greatly appreciated as always. Thanks a lot

Not to belittle you or anything, but this feels pretty scammy.

There are no specs on the site other than the memory capacity and a list of 'goodies', no information about which networks it works on and so on.

Maybe you should start by sending out some review units to the usual suspects before attempting to sign up customers ?

Elsewhere you admit to not even having a prototype (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1177199), so really what you are asking for is money in the hope that one day you'll be able to deliver.

Also it seems that overnight the memory capacity has changed fourfold.

Hi, thanks a lot for your comment, here is my reply : 1) I don't take your comment as an offense, that is my first rule. Otherwise i won't be posting here on HN 2) On the website http://enso-now.com you can find detailed specs, like memory capacity yes. What do you mean by list of "goodies"? do you mean the 3G usb dongle ? i can get it for almost any standard in the world. Don't forget that i am in China, here is where most electronics goods sold in the world are manufactured. 3) Today 3 March i bought the prototype finally and placed a gallery section on the enso website. I think you can easily reach it from the main index : http://enso-now.com; I am not asking money to anybody, i am just selling my products. I guess you are not really the "entrepreneurial" kind of guy, but i can tell you that starting your business is a nice thing to do in your life if you have the opportunity. But you need to maintain integrity, always when doing business. I think i am working hard on this, but you are free to have your point of view and express it by any means. 4) What do you mean by "Also it seems that overnight the memory capacity has changed fourfold", we offered since the start, 2, 4 and 8GB models. that did not change.

Look, if you bought the prototype today you are not ready to ship.

And as to '4', that's in response to yesterdays thread when the maximum capacity was still 2G.

And me not being the 'entrepreneurial' kind of guy is hilarious, thank you.

You write you will send some 'prototypes' to influential tech blogs, but you seem to completely get the terminology wrong here.

Prototype, pre-production, 0 series and production are all well defined terms. If you have a prototype today you are not within a week of shipping 500 of them, you still need FCC approval if you wish to ship to the US and similar for other countries, and you don't normally send out prototypes (that cost a small fortune to manufacture) to tech blogs for reviews, you do that with your first pre-production run, or if you're pressed for time with the first production batch.

As long as this unit has not been reviewed by a (respectable) third party I'd strongly recommend against people sending you their money.

Scammy and spammy.

Where are the specs? Sure, you can get different storage sizes, that's nice. What about the internals? Screen size, resolution, and technology? Battery life? 3G data bands? Weight? Dimensions?

Has anyone reputable reviewed these?

The name and logo both look to be ripped off from http://humanized.com/enso/

The OP's account is brand new, and has already spammed it up a few times: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1177080

The Google cache for http://www.onedollargold.com/ is http://bit.ly/dALAt1 which is just a -wee- bit odd.

Spamalicious.

I've found a specs page:

http://enso-now.com/n/info.php

It looks as though the phone portion of the functionality is a complete after thought, using a dongle, which makes the device pretty much useless as a phone for everyday use.

Funny how the email address for returns is 'retuns@enso-now.com', I'm guessing they don't get a lot of returns :)

Hi, thanks for you comments. All the specs are visible in our website, i do not what's wrong with you, if something is not clear please just send an email to us at info@enso-now.com I advice you not to use the words Scammy and Spammy, because we are a legal entity, and i might taking legal actions against you, because you does not have any solid argumentation to call us spammy. Regarding the logo issue, i am getting tired of this, i hoped HN would give out smart comments for startups, not the way around. The Enso logo is already popular. Check it out on google with a simple research. Anyway i like it and i choose it. The Post has not been spammed, i stated clearly at the start of the post ( did you read it or you are just trolling here ? ) that we were double posting for a PURPOSE. Finally, regarding the google cache delirium with onedollargold.com, ( that's the blog of my girlfriend totally unrelated to enso-now.com ) what the heck does that mean ? it is a domain i own, i am a web developer too, i use that for testing, than ? you found a link? what is that nasty bitly stuff ? You look like as a teenager honestly. I hoped to get more serious feedbacks from HN. it is a real pity. Anyway thank you. Alberto
