My Best Buy only got two......

and I am number THREE on the pre order list! TWO UNITS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Worse. I am number ONE on the pre-order list at the BestBuy nearest me (Tulsa Midtown OK Store #762), but they told me this morning that they aren't sure that they'll have ANY on launch day. Actually, what they told me first was "the launch day is being moved." When I said flatly that was b.s. they backpedaled and said, "that's what we were told to tell anyone who calls or asks, but *if* we get one, you'll get it."

BigFlippinWhoopee. What's the point of having a pre-order system if you can't fulfill the pre-orders? It only makes you look bad.

I decided last year I wanted to replace my Blackberry Bold, but I decided to wait until was out of contract in February, rather than pay AT&T an early termination fee. Then in Feb. I decided to wait for the iPhone 4 to launch this summer. Then in June I ordered an iPh4 -- and got it on launch day -- but sent it back, because by then I'd read about the Droid X. So I decided to wait three more weeks and get a DX. Well, if my new smartphone doesn't show up on Thursday and bake bread and slice it, I'm going POSTAL on somebody. The dorks in blue polos better wear kevlar on Thursday if they can't fulfill the order they made.

Only some of the NYY fans will grieve him and none of the rest of the world.

Well ... I have to give him respect ... I'm from Queens, Milky Way, Local Group. . .

so respect given to the Boss. . .

now back to my droid. . . how did I know best buy would pull off something like this. . . I knew "can't guarantee you a phone on release" sounded like "won't receive phones on release" . . . guess I need to make the call to my store. Here goes nothing!

Ya this happened with the Palm Pre too.....fortunately there were NO preorders and i was one of the first three people in line for that phone...too bad it sucked and too bad these companies cant get their affairs in order to have more then TWO on launch day.....

and any Steinbrenner HATERS out there can just shut it, he has done so much for the sports industry and given so much money back into baseball. The revenue sharing gives small market teams enough money to spend more, but what do they do? put it in their pockets...Steinbrenner puts it back into his team...


Um, as sad as it may be....this is not a sport forum. The thread is about something entirely different. You can always create your own thread on the subject in the correct venue. But I am participating in these forums to be informed on the subjects here.
