Uh Oh. More delays for the 921?

[BobMurdoch]

Sent an email to Sears requesting info on the 921 as it was not letting orders go through it's website.

This is what I got back.....

Subject: Question regarding ELEC


When is this product scheduled to be in stock?

I keep hearing 12/5 on a few internet sites, but I am anxious to get one as soon as it is available......


Then again, this could be the "limited" rollout they were talking about as they pretty much just ship demos out in December. Anyone hearing anything else?

From what I have been told is that Sears will not see ANY 921's for sale til around February.

Some store may be getting 921 demo units (basically to put next to the VOOM display and make people want Dish over VOOM) but they will have no stock to sell.

 

[BobMurdoch]

Well, THAT sucks.

Any idea WHERE they will first be shipping. (ie. Select independent retailers, are they on allocation based on orders received, etc.)

And is there any word on when those on the 921 waiting list here will start to see them?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Bob we should hopefully see a few next week.
