Supplies are gone
07:18:56 PM Customer MountainX
how can supplies be gone on an item that is a pre-order? There are none in stock yet anyway. It has not even been introduced to the market by the manufacturer yet, so there were no "supplies" earlier today when others ordered and there are none now. It is a preorder. Please look into it further. Thanks.

its not a pre- order, we had some in stock and now we don't and they are backordered thru Nokia

Anything else I can help with?

I'm sorry, if you look at the title of the item in the Dell store, it clearly says, "(Pre-Order) N900 Unlocked Smartphone". Furthermore, I have been following this item closely and I am sure Dell does not have it in stock today. Please investigate this problem further. It must be an error.

I will let them know about this, Anything else I can help with?

Well, I would like to purchase the item with the coupon now. Can you help me do that?
07:23:07 PM Agent SMB_Sandra_Holcomb
I have the same options you do, so if you can't get the coupon to work when you enter it I can not either.
07:23:41 PM Customer MountainX
OK, can you have someone who can help contact me directly? Thank you.

If I can't then no one can, we all have the same system,

The session has ended!
I called. The rep I spoke to confirmed to me that the call center has been flooded with requests for this coupon code. I summarize what he told me to mean that Dell received unexpectedly high demand for this phone with this coupon and decided to stop honoring the coupon. Personally, I think that is unethical.

The rep told me that if he forced my order through, it would likely be canceled. So that implies (to me) that all these Dell orders with this coupon are questionable - they could be canceled.
