北美版YotaPhone 2的生产和发货面临难以预计的延期。
来自俄罗斯的YotaPhone 2目前看来将不会在美国市场销售。除主屏幕之外,这款手机另外配备了一块电子墨水屏。此前,YotaPhone 2在美国吸引了密切关注,因此这一消息令美国用户感到遗憾。
Yota Devices表示,由于北美版YotaPhone 2的生产和发货面临难以预计的延期,因此这款手机将不会在美国推出。“由于元件供应存在困难,这款设备的开售将太晚。”
YotaPhone 2此前在众筹平台Indiegogo上筹集了近30万美元,而出资超过525美元的投资者将可以收到这样一部手机。这款手机的美国零售价格将约为600美元。
此次的消息并不意味着,美国的Indiegogo投资者将无法拿到这款手机。这些投资者可以选择国际版。这一版本的LTE功能不兼容美国的LTE网络,因此用户只能选择使用T-Mobile和AT&T的HSPA+网络。
而如果投资者非常看重LTE功能,那么还可以选择退款。
YotaPhone 2是又一个面临问题的众筹项目。不过该公司表示,近期的发展使其可以与一家新的制造商合作。这家制造商能带来必要的规模,使该公司可以在北美销售下一代产品。

It looks like the YotaPhone 2 – the device that made the internet rounds due to its second e-ink display – will no longer be comer to the US. A shame, because we quite liked it.
According to The Verge, Yota Devices says it had to cancel the launch due to unforeseen delays in producing and delivering the North American variant of the device. “The logistics were insurmountable and the device would simply arrive too late.”
An Indiegogo campaign for the phone raised nearly $300,000, with backers who paid up $525 or more set to receive a phone of their own. The US retail price of the phone would have been $600.
That doesn’t mean it’ll be completely impossible for American Indiegogo backers to get their hands on a phone. Backers can opt for the international version, but LTE won’t work in the US, instead limiting them to HSPA+ with T-Mobile or AT&T.
If the lack of LTE is too much for you, however, you can can opt for a refund.
It’s another example of the struggles of crowdfunding, but YotaPhone says its recent growth has allowed it to partner with a new manufacturer – one that can support the scalability necessary to distribute the phone in North America – for its next generation of devices.
