Buyers beware of PureMobile.com
After getting that email I replied to their email asking them to cancel that order because I had decided to get the W610i yesterday (which showed on the site as "available" Well, here I am Saturday, I just got an email saying that the phone is out of stock.
I had never EVER heard of so many different ways to describe your "stock" as I have on PureMobile.com. It seems like if a phone shows as "special order" they have to actually order the phone from overseas and they "have to have so many orders on that specific phone to actually order it"
As on my second order goes (the W610i) which shows (still) as available. It's out of stock. And they claim that it could be one or two weeks before it ships out...
BUYERS BEWARE that if you're going to get a phone from them you have to make sure that the phone is shown as "in stock" in order to have peace of mind that the phone will actually ships in the time frame they stipulate.
If you go on their website you'll be able to see that some phones show as "in stock" meaning "good to order". But if you like a phone which shows "available" or "special order" you better keep an eye on your email because that phone is not going to ship out unless you tell them that you want to wait for it to become available. Or otherwise, if you don't reply to them within 24 (after they send you the email) they cancel your order anyway...
I trusted this website because I saw it advertised here on phonescoop. And now I wish I had done more research before buying from that darned Canadian website.
