Let's take the HP iPAQ for instance ... why has it been placed on the web site for sale when Cingular does not have any!?! Not to mention cannot say when they will have any. Poor poor business practices.
...
Dude, it was JUST released today in many markets.
Shortages happen. It isn't like they are promoting it as a special deal or something and then BOOM they are not available.
It is in demand, I have a guy from FL emailing me to possibly buy one.
...
It goes on Cingular's site just after time change Sunday morning (central time) and already the stock is depleted? This must be a record.
...
I am guessing you just tried to order it?
That is two full days for a highly antcipated phone. No where near a record.
...
Can anyone speculate when production may catch up with demand in high demand $600 item?
...
That is really an HP issue. Have you tried calling them as well?
...
HP can only make them so fast. John, do you look for out of stock items for all companies, or just for cingular? In that case, walmart had a laptop on their website i'd wanted to buy for 2 wks and they keep saying it's out of stock.... Should they take it down? No, because if you want it, you'll wait. If not, you'll pick a different one. They finally got it in, and I ordered it. And that was for a 2100.00 laptop...
...
Yes, I search all companies far and wide for items that are not available the first 48 hours after their release and then bash them in little forums.
...
lol the sad thing is.. I believe it.
...
So is it possible a store that was expecting some units to be shipped out to them on Tuesday may still be getting them in?
...
Yes. I know I am getting the two I ordered.
...
Cool. The store that told me they have them coming is a couple of hours away, but I guess I will keep on the phone with them. I hope I like this phone.
...
i have to ipaq's in my store right now the 6515, they are out, just some locations do not have them
...
yh, we've had one in our store for a week now 😉
...
We've had ours for 4 days now... They can't just make these things magically appear from the managers butt. They have to ship them, and that takes time. Patience is a virtue.
