The black version of M92 will be available at the end of March. I could activate preordering in our shop for this model if you want. |

Second... Is "end of March" for sure? Because in some other thread you've mentioned that Onyx needs something like 1000 orders (worldwide) before they start to produce M92 in Black... Did I get it wrong? If it is for sure then YES, please!!! activate preordering!!! Hope to be the first in the line!!! |

Icarus announced a new reader today, the eXceL, which to all appearances is a rebranded black Onyx Boox M92. See http://www.icarusreader.com/. Estimated delivery date: March 1st.
The company is based in the Netherlands and ships Europe-wide. |

To be honest with you it would be great news to find out that they are running a different OS on the same hardware. That would give us a second option! |

there is usually some "tailoring" of the branded version's firmware. there have been instances where they were not compatible on the 6 inch models but for the most part were. generally the onyx branded ones get updates faster/sooner than the branded version but having that branded usually means glitches get fixed quicker

Selling the reader without a cover is not without precedent; it is also what BeBook did with the 6" Onyx models.
I'm 99.99% sure that the software is the same. |

ICARUS eXceL looks really promising...I haven't been able to find any reviews to confirm whether it has the default, generic firmware from Onyx...perhaps someone would want to start a new thread so we can keep track?
@Booxtor Why is the black M92 slightly more expensive than the white one (but then again those 5 extra Euros are well spent if you ask me!) |

Except of the logo there is no difference to original M92. Clear case of rebranding. I think this offer just confuses customer Black M92 is not slightly more expensive - M92 White is slightly cheaper now. We have just a little reduced the price of M92 White (sale) In any case we have a better offer At the same time we got better conditions by DHL and could reduce shipping prices (30% less now) Last edited by Booxtor; 02-27-2012 at 11:23 AM. |

when is the m92 price gonna drop to say 300USD? Maybe 6 months?
right now it's way over my budget, and there are none on the second hand market. how many m92 have you sold so far? Last edited by xxtraloud; 02-28-2012 at 08:14 PM. |

It will probably drop when there will be a similar device for around 300$ or Onyx comes out with a new and better device

I'm having troubles with Verified by Visa, so have to arrange an alternative way of payment...
Luckily I have time, as the shipment is only in March... |
