You posted more than once on the other Trident thread. That is why I made that comment. And as I said, we get it, it's not for you. I'm sorry, but there is nothing that I can do to make you happy as a customer in this regard. The Trident will require the new Apex. It's not a money grab. It's not greed. It's not a conspiracy. We are simply trying to move the technology forward.
me too
I'd definitely would like to be on a list if one exists.
Ok then u still can't say that the trident cost 1500-1600 dollars also the other thread wasn't your thread to be worried about. This is ur thread and I read it didn't respond to it until ur sales pitch for people who own a classic apex buy a new one u will eventually need proves anyway. And I must have said something to make you only single me out which is fine with me( also tell Jon Mosnacher thank you and his solenoid is in route to him and I truly appreciate everything HE did for me)
Do you have the new Apex? I do. It's way better than the classic.
Why should Neptune be expected to reinvent that wheel?
To be fair, this isn't on him to answer - it's on you; the consumer. If you don't think it will be ready on day 1, don't buy it on day 1. Wait until others have put it in their tanks and provided feedback. When you've seen enough to trust that the product is worth the cost, then you can (if you choose) add it to your tank. Or perhaps you never will - that's a choice you have as a consumer.
No; you haven't. But you have also not given him any reason to want to answer you. Right now, you are acting the part of an aggressive consumer who, basically, demands that their money is more valuable to Neptune than anyone else's. But the thing is; it's not - your money is worth the same as everyone else's (less than some, in truth).
I'm sorry, but a data sample size of one is hardly conclusive. Just because your buddy doesn't want to buy it at the asking price doesn't mean others won't either. This is also true in the other direction, of course - if one person sells their classic for $600, that doesn't mean that's what they are worth. That's why Terence gave a number you could "probably get". That "probably" assumes that you try to sell it to more than your buddy and that you're willing to wait for a buyer who IS willing to pay that price to come along.
Let's play this out... He says, "Yes; I would" and you could either believe him (best case) or just claim that he's just touting the company line or something and rail on about how he's not talking to you "like a hobbyist" or that he's just trying to "sell you" on it (hint: he's a hobbyist and trying to sell people - not just you - on the product; that's his job and a major reason why he's here - and entirely why he started this thread). If he says, "No, I wouldn't", then you keep harping on him about how the pricing and such is unfair.
Do you have any old phones laying around? Try and run some new apps on it, see how well that works.
That is a fair assessment and we can do a better job in this area.
We are continually improving connectivity on Wi-Fi, including an upcoming release of AOS that has many new provisions to deal with difficult non-compliant wi-fi networks. That said, I will ALWAYS recommend a wired over a Wi-Fi connection for any piece of connected equipment - especially one that is mission-critical. That is not a slight to our product, that is a comment pointed at the very unreliable nature of wi-fi networking itself. Someone at MACNA came by the booth who had a photo-copier business for many years. He told me about how a number of years back, wifi for copiers was all the rage, now he said the pendulum has swung back due to all the unreliability.
I do understand these things. And your points have some merit. But we are not forcing anyone to do anything and there are plenty of issues we see ongoing with the Classic as well that is the nature of technology. But understand that the curve of issues over time is not linear - it is always steepest in the first year of any new technology product.
