Hi all,
First of all apologies if this question is an abuse of this forum. It's non technical but I am pulling the hairs out of my head currently :evil:
I ordered an XDA 3 weeks ago. My supplier mailed me that XDA's were in backorder. 10 days ago they told me that O2 would come out with the new (64MB) version and they took back whatever stock they had OR!!! sent orders that could be taken back as well.
Now my suppliers mails me that they have no confirmed date from O2 asking me whether I want my money back or want to wait.
I decided to call 2 other suppliers and they both have zero stock which could still be an incedent but maybe it's a trend as well.
My supplier even told me the horrorstory that they shipped a XDA to a customer who was on holidays, when he came back home he found out that it was back to stock and from there back to O2!!
I asked my supplier what the problem is but they circled around the 'hete brij' (dutch expression :wink: ) so I asked if:
- the XDA's are faulty and taken back
- 02 has sold too many and they take them out of the channel
- 02 finally figured out that others can deliver the XDA cheaper than 02 can.
I have no clue what the answer is. Maybe there are even more options.
And so finally.... here is my question to you all:
Any idea what is going on? Maybe even suggestions on what to do?
And if you have no idea....Thank for listening to me whining!
:( Regards Robert :(
P.S. In case messages like these don't belong here; my next post will be about something that has to do with the XDA, 5V, quarks, VBE, quantumphysics and an oscilloscope :wink:
