This is a clearance item and they will be getting no more. If its backordered it will just sit in their system and then be deleted down the road. I have had lenghty conversations with a few managers on this one. They are also sold out all through the nation.

Well I guess I got kind of lucky. My backordered phone shipped and I was also able to order another one, mostly because of their screw up. I actually ordered 3 total but only 2 showed up. When I called to complain they said they would give me credit for all 3 orders. Apparently, they didn't realize I had actually received 2 of the orders. Their system made it seem like none of them had been delivered.

Moral: If you got your backordered phone and haven't been charged you probably never will be.

My credit card was billed: $59.44 + $4.90 tax + $7.58 shipping.
It seems that OD doesn't keep their credit card info in their system, but does reconcile their backordered invoices when they ship.

Even if they didn't, can't they just send invoices to the backordered customers whose orders were fulfilled? After all, they do have our addresses.

ok my order from OD finally came in so I have a few extras if anyone needs them...email me gmo415@yahoo.com

I also have the one w/o the CD and manuals...


REMEMBER EVERYONE, these phones have up to $160 rebates on each (if you activate 2) make sure to get all the rebates!!!

$50 Motorola rebate per phone
$50 service credit rebate (for buying from OD)
and $100 rebate for activation of 2 = $300 total for 2 phones!
plus the $10 if you were referred by a Spint PCS member!!
