i'd be up to take part in a group purchase.

I had the v1 nanocom for my td5, nanocom Italy were very helpful when it came to doing the crystal upgrade for me.

As a forum sponsor I'm shorty going to be able to offer a forum group buy on the Nanocom evolution.

It will be in the new year when stock arrives, final prices will be available in the not to distant future.

419 eu + 18eu shipping = 437eu this is from nakatanenga, like I said a little bit cheaper!


Things to look into and I am sure Peter can confirm (I remember from talking to him before Christmas):

-18 Euro postage..... This is his 'base rate' which will cover you up to several of these units. Possible bundle 3-4 units in one package and then split and post out to individuals at a cheaper rate in the UK.

-Have them posted to me in North Germany/ I could go down to Peter and I can send them to UK with Forces post which is cheaper (Will take a few days longer though).

- As with the last Nakatanenga group buy- I could transport back to UK for free and then post out/ meet on route.

There is always ways of making things cheaper/ more affordable. I am interested in one myself so would be looking at taking a trip down to Peter and the team at some point when I get back after Chrimbo leave (They make a great coffee).

No problem I'll keep you updated, I need to speak Personally with the supplier a little more when they are back in the office after crimbo to find out some of the finer details.

I appreciate cost is important and will be a deciding factor for all.

The BBS product get support from their dedicated support forum, this forum can only be seen if you are a tool owner.

Thanks Pete, ill look forward to it

Having used that forum for support - i would agree Nancom to be "better" - whilst i think BBS could be a better product, nancom (certainly the original) was far superior for its intended application - i hope evolution continues the trend Thumbs Up Mike

Hello Lorryman100

I am really utterly stunned to hear that, especially as BBS is not some one man band and i happen to employ no less than 5 people permanently assigned to answer any and all E-mails.
It has understandably been really busy in the lead up to Christmas, but to the best of my knowledge not one e-mail remained un answered or un responded to, so i really would like to chase up your comment and find out what happened, so it never happens again.

Can you please PM me your E-mail address at least so i can look into this matter more deeply.

Interestingly, the very fact that i am here and making this post on Boxing day, should tell you a lot and it was only after ensuring on our own MSV-2 owners only support forum that none of our owners needed any form of help or technical support i was able to find the time to do so.

Might i humbly inquire which day and ask you to post up the text of the response you got from nanocom

Warmest Regards

Colin

Hi Colin,

thanks for your response, it is appreciated. I emailed bbs mid October as I was trying to decide between FCR and MSV. I also found out from another forum that nanocom were about to release their evolution model so emailed them as well.

Ehmmm....... NO.......Sorry but I don't know you from adam and yet your asking for the contents of a priviliged email Thud Thud

At the end of the day Me as a consumer was looking for a specific product from two different manufacturers, one got back to me and so they got my business. I'm happy with my choice,

Regards Brian.

Hiya Brian
Thank you for your warm, positive and friendly response Thumbs Up
No worries, and quite right too, I dunno what i was thinking and can only say in my defence, i was a little under the influence of some holiday spirit at the time, Rolling Eyes and for some reason i thought it would be more recent. And now i think about it, asking for your E-mail address may have also been deemed as inappropriate too.

I can only apologize, assure you it was with the best of intent i asked on both counts, even although it read a bit wrong, and hope i did not offend Sad

In any event, although i am of course not happy to learn you got no reply at all from my guys, (something i would still like to get to the bottom of as a matter of pride and professionality), i am ultimately glad you got the Nanocom Evo and i do not think any response from BBS would have altered that choice.

I have an EVO too and, although i may be a competitor, I am not so small minded as to not give credit to others when and where due. It is quite clearly a stunning bit of technology, has a really impressive tough screen input and graphical capability, and much though it pains me to say it, there is no way i could say that our Puma FCR is anywhere near as good or capable as the Nanocom Evo is Thumbs Up
