622's being Distributed?

[ptech]

I have received several phone calls from retailers in my area since yesterday afternoon, all stating that the 622's have been shipped and that they are en-route to their stores as we speak. Those of you interested in purchasing 622's may want to go to Dish's locate a retailer page and start calling your local reps and reserve yours or call DISHSTORE

Scott Can you verfiy this???????

I just talked to the Chicago Warehouse, no 622's yet.

I don't think this information is accurate.

All of these retailers are getting their units from Dow Electronics

it doesnt make sence as we still dont have an offical software version for the 622 but we do have 3 beta versions

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Just called around to EVERY Dish and Dow Warehouse. And there are no 622s.

Consider this one false.

Kind of strange that five retailers call within a 12 hour period and all state the same thing, I'll let you know if I do indeed get one. According to one rep, as early as tomorrow.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I just spoke with one of my contacts at Dish. I honestly do not expect a release of units for at least another two weeks.

Trust me this person should know.

I was just online earlier today.. and my Dish distributor.. Mid-State Distributing shows they have 6 on hand in Des Moines. Not sure how long just 6 will last.

I wonder (if true) that customer who are having them mailed direct from dish will see them soon.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

According to engineering there have not been released yet.

I think it would be great if there were released. However the software is not ready yet.

 

[bpasker]

6 in Des Moines? I hope I'm one of them...

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I just got an update. It appears they will start shipping on FRIDAY.

Although VERY limited quantities.

 

[goaliebob99]

well thats good news.. I wonder if mine will be shipped on friday

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I doubt it, no distribution center is getting more then 8 units.

 

[ptech]

So it would appear that I had the breaking news again Scott, and you guys thought I was full of S%^T. I know a few people also.

No one ever said that you were full of sh*t! things just had to be verifyed you dont belive the amount of people that come in here that say.. I heard this.. A csr told me this... with out naming sources or giving definitive proof. were more than happy to have the information we just want to that what you bring forth to the public is accurate and creditable

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

They were waiting for the Retailer chat today to announce that they were going to start shipping them on Friday.

Again only about 8 units per distribution center on Friday.

 

[goaliebob99]

scott did the retailer chat happen and if it did is there a recap somewhere?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes the chat happened. And no there is no recap yet. See my appology thread elsewhere in this forum.
