So while we may not have video Skype (though right now nobody has mobile video skype..outside of laptops) we can at least use Google Talk. The only reason why I mentioned Skype is because when you say video calling you think Skype.
True. Skype is the big dog it would seem. However....google voice/video chat doesn't work on linux yet. Showstopper.

If my parents can't see their 17 month-old granddaughter, then I'm canceling my order.

ok, I'll play along.

At what point is the transaction "mutually agreed upon?"


IMHO it is when the retailer charges your credit card.

You disagree?

Hmm, I thought someone here had got it working. (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=55785&postcount=4). Though that was only n800 -> another internet tablet. So not so useful if the other person is using a PC.

There's also Gizmo 5.

Maybe I misinterpreted the post.

My complaint is with those people that insist on getting cheap goods because of a pricing mistake. They are thieves. If dormant gets precisely what he pays for then that's fine.

Let me guess, you cut up coupons? :D

So ultimately the correct "fact" dawns on you (after a few n number of posts explaining to you the "mutually agreed clause".

What a waste of thread.

Sorry if there was some confussion, I didn't mean to imply that dormat was trying to rip people off, only saying that I'm not privy to people's thoughts.

Regarding whether the sale need be upheld, I think this is an issue of contract law. The relevant rule is that mistake is a defense to contract, but bad bargaining is not: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistake_(contract_law). Expansys made a guess about what price they could get N900's at and they also insured 99% of their contracts with language that said "we reserve the right to change the price before we charge you." Dormant was the other 1% not covered by that rule since they forced him to pay early. Now Dormant gets to take advantage of his business savvy, it's no more dishonest than someone who sold oil futures at $150/barrel shortly before prices plumetted to $38.

From Dormant's description, both parties had to jump through several hoops to make this transaction, a reasonably prudent person would conclude that a mistake should have been caught somewhere along the way.

Dormant is on the right side of this thing ethically and legally.
