And, Fedex says mine is shipped. :D

Thanks again for the heads-up Reggie!

I went nuts for like 10 minutes looking for the ADD TO CART button til I finally refreshed and saw there were none left :(

Incidentally, I just checked TigerDirect and their stock is low as well.

Item Number: N529-1086

Availability: Available While Supplies Last
Few Left! Will Sellout!

I'm guessing their stock just went up by 14 ;]

I got burned too. My order was processed for one that I wanted to use mostly as a media player and I got a phone call explaining that the hoarder bumped me.

Bummer :[

Damn, I feel sorry for those that missed out. :(

I'm so glad I acted fast with little hesatation before someone(s) snagged up the remaining ones. It's a good thing I get off work at 4PM EST. FedEx says mine has been "picked up" and "arrived at FedEx location" in IL. I wonder when it will be delivered?

So ... one for OS 2008, one for OS 2007 and "experimenting" with. Now I'm wondering if two N800s can communicate with each other via Bluetooth or WiFi (for file transfers).

Meh, I'm glad I'm a grad student, so I get to leave itT up and pay attention about every 15 minutes if I feel like it. Flip side is not getting off work, ever; I just have a sliding scale of behindness and urgency.

They said shipping was 2-3 days... :D

BT file transfers are no sweat; OBEX like to a phone. Getting an actual ad-hoc wifi network, or BT PAN, to allow games and such is a little less out-of-box, but should be easy enough...

Thanks Benson.

I currently work for a major wireless Telcom (almost have my B.S. in physics) and assist people nearly everyday with their Bluetooth connections (phone to headsets, cars, other phones), but my N800 is the only device I've ever had with Bluetooth. I plan on getting a better phone soon with Bluetooth and EVDO. Now I'll have an extra reason to get one. ;)

Well we don't know for sure that someone bought all 13 or some other unreasonable quantity, but the sons-a-guns should have enforced a limit of 2 per buyer if that was the case. Oh well...

Before it went down, it had a phone number, and said to call for volume pricing if you were ordering more than five. I actually thought about it; I've got enough immediate family members who could make use of them, and I bet I coulda got partially reimbursed if I'd asked, even after the fact.

Maybe you should just have an RSS reader and be faster...

The person that called me explained that is *exactly* what happened. Someone bought 14 at once.

They did offer an even better deal for buying 5 or more so they were not exactly discouraging mass purchases. I was seriously considering buying a bunch for friends that I know are interested in them knowing that they would be too slow to catch the deal but would want one eventually :]

No big deal. I still have my N810.
