well the problem of any poll specially for electronics is that they have a tendency of failing...I guess we need to specify a time frame when they can reply to the poll...V2 was released a month ago and they are just being send to buyers in the last 2 weeks (mass distribution)....most died during calibration or first few minutes...

mine is still up and running but today after running it I found it bouncing around. What is everyone using to hold their monsters in? I had used Goo, it's still stuck to the truck but didn't hold onto the MMM.

These are serious statements (I called to get my MMM replaced):

Me:Alright one more question... How many MMM's have shiped?
CC Rep: Around 1600
Me: How many have you gotten back from failures?
CC Rep: About 50 back....

I don't know how truthful they are being....

So that's about a 3.5% failure rate..

I want to believe those numbers but they do not seem to jive with the poll results thus far. Granted the sample is still very very small and I still think people tend to want to report bad news more than good or just average news.

Very odd.

What I thought was the oddest, is that we've been told that the MMM's shipped were closer to 3000... And now we're being told 1600... I bet the failed units are more around 150 or so more around a 9.3 percent failure rate...

The mmmv1's had a 20 percent failure rate.
