The fastest, whether its true or not, has been pcnation.com. They said it was expected on the 6th and that they would ship it out the same day. It's also the same price as from harmony computers, at $725 shipped, with the regular method. The cheapest has been techonweb.com but they said they will not get or send out the device for at least 3 weeks. __________________ If you sit quietly at the edge of a river eventually you will see the bodies of your enemies float by.

I just called PC Nation and they seem to be certain they are receiving units on Feb. 4th. But when I mentioned that Sony Style told me they were shipping on the 20th, the salesperson was shocked and didn't understand why they would get them earlier. If it turns out that they did get them in on the 6th, I will also be buying from them. __________________ Robert Lovin' my iPhone!

Told me that the computer shows they're getting them Friday, but cautioned me that "it's been wrong before" and suggested I call back then. We will see on Friday. If it's true, then I just might go against my past history and buy from a vendor online that I've never dealt with before. No sales tax for me (according to them IL only) and even with the shipping included, (I GOTTA do overnight) I'll come out 80 bucks ahead. Their pricegrabber.com reviews are generally favourable, so it's looking promising. Ditto for Harmony. __________________ The opinion expressed is solely my point of view, unless it gets me into trouble. If that's the case, then I don't know who's it is... :)

ArK Legendary Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Eastside, US Posts: 259	I just e-mailed sonystyle asking about specific dates on when the nz90 would come out and they just sent me back a blanket repsonse giving me urls to the different sonystyle products not really answering any questions I had... however one interesting thing is they gave me the urls to the upcoming ms releases as well. Here they are for anyone interested. http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INT...S8nxCh6&Dept=hp http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INT...H4AAADzfi8nxCh6 http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INT...vMAAADzZi8nxCh6 http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INT...tsAAADzNi8nxCh6 enjoy! __________________ If you sit quietly at the edge of a river eventually you will see the bodies of your enemies float by.

If they have it I'm ordering it overnight mail and I'll let everyone know when I get it friday. PS - maybe with the money I saved I'll get an extra battery to take lots of pictures (w/flash) of me smiling and holding my new toy. __________________ If you sit quietly at the edge of a river eventually you will see the bodies of your enemies float by.

I dont think Sony Style would want to give anyone an advantage over them. Any thoughts on this? __________________ Robert Lovin' my iPhone!

They are trying to snag orders is my best guess...lots of companies out there play this game..

What will happen is, you will call, they will say yes we have it in.

Then then will charge your card, and then say sorry but we just ran out of stock or we made a mistake, and now you can get a credit, but they will make it a hassle.

Be really careful I smell something fishy here.

Some had to wait 2-3 extra weeks beyond their "promised" delivery date... I'll buy mine at a local store-IF they carry 'em!!!! __________________ Single file line please,ladies...
