I don't think anyone wanted to complain about the generous discount program we have been invited to join, the problem is that the invite urged us to apply sooner than later as "devices would be offered on a first come first served basis"... applicants who replied promptly were left with no confirmation their application had been received and were left with the feeling they might miss out through no fault of their own. One option would have been to flood the DDP with email requests for updates, alternatively a quick update could have been communicated here. Better yet, receipt of confirmation should have been emailed to all applicants, and we would then have waited patiently for as long as it takes to get a quality device into the stores.

Hopefully improvements to the process can be considered for the next DDP, assuming there is one.
