So close and yet so far
I bit the bullet a few weeks ago an ordered an XDA II. I had been lusting after this for a while. I was so excited! I ordered it from local Australian e-tailer thehardware.ws. The ordering experience was pretty good and I got confirmation that everything was in order and I would get the phone in a few days - that was Feb 19. On the 20th of Feb, I got an email that said the order was delayed to the 5th of March. Ok, I can live with a litte delay. On the 25th of Feb, I get another note about another delay - now it will be March 20th. Grrr - I'm getting cranky. The money has already been taken out of my credit card, so someone has my money for nothing! On the 5th of March, I get yet another note about yet another delay - delivery scheduled for May 4th. What the hell has happened to impule buying and instant gratification! May 4th, the phone will be superceded by a newer model and the current model will be sold at half price. This really sucks. My teeth are grinding. My breathing is erratic. I'm not happy. But, there is a silver lining to this cloud - a new distributor has been found and March 15th is the new delivery date. However, all I can think is "Beware the Ides of March," [listening to: Sparkling Diamonds - Caroline O'Connor ]4:06:33 PM  comment [] trackback [] G! • My Interests |
