K, for thsoe who were following from anoher thread, Compusa got it in today. I called them up first thing in the morning. Was told that it was in the back warehouse and that nobody can get them till some guy comes in at 12pm to out them again. I'm like whatever. But I have a son whos gonna want to eat at 12pm are you sure you can't get it out earlier? What good is it keeping it in the back? They say "Sir, I have your name, we will call you, don't worry"

K, 11:30am I make it down there. I pass the pda shelf and one is out on display. I check the stock glass and they have two. I'm like "ok..nobody called me" I get to the back where the holds are done. She looks at me and tells me that they would call me. I said Its out, on the shelf. She checks for mine and they don't have it. She asks me if I want to get one from the front. I'm ticked and now my Son starts to cry.
So then she says nevermind and goes to get one. Oh look one ONE left and I get it. she then comes back and asks me if I want the free memory card. I'm like "no duh". She sighs and goes stomping off to get it.
So now its like 10minutes later and my son is still crying.I get the unit and I want to at least turn it on. And while I do this a manager asks me if something is wrong with my kid. I nailed her with a response on how long they took and that hes hungry.
Needless to say she left me alone.

Damn, if I didn't go in when I did, they would've ran out.
At least now its at home charging.

Btw, yeah that pen sucks BIG time! Its skinny and it'll only go in one direction and one facing.

Glad you got it starstreak. I think you'll really like it. But I think you now know how to deal with your CUSA (although, I'd be careful shopping and look for guys w/obvious drug/mob connections...your store seems to be completely clueless, even for a CUSA. Must be a money-laundering place, :D )

Anyway, the next time you need to get something there, take your son in about feeding time and if he seems a little fussy tell them
"I told him we'd get a nice shiny box when we came and he gets really upset when he doesn't get his toys"

It's especially nice if you can trap a manager in his/her office when you do this.

Let us know how you like it when it's charged up.

No kidding. All I got was an earfull for the 30min drive home. Oh to make matters worse It was supposed to be rung up as $779.95, not $799.95 (another long story) but no..... SInce she didn't have my "order" ready and she had to collect everything, I didn't pay atten to what price she rang up. Augh.

Congrats starstreak. Mine was a hard-way coming too.

I got boned on the MS. Took 20 minutes to find anybody that had a clue about it at all, and when I got one, they attempted to charge me for it and told me that it'd all be free after rebates.

I've gotten boned too many times on their 'rebates' so i told them to forget it.

Rebates I can trust. I had all of mine coem back. Except when compusa was Computer City and they changed over to Compusa (at least here in hawaii) Thats when rebates where "lost".

I hope this "palm" is worth it. Been with Pocketpc for so long, I just gotta get out of being biased. hehe
