Same situation here. I swear this is the last time I make the mistake of trying to purchase something from expanys.
In my case it's even worse. Last week I had the chance of ordering my SP5 from exapnsys or mobilefun. At the time expansys was showing it as "in stock". The second I ordered it, it went up to 7 days. Now that 6 days have passed, it jumped up again to 9 days. I've cancelled my order and placed it with mobilefun instead. --------------------  |

Yeah, seriously... I can't believe the wait! Arrrgh - I need (would VERY much like) my new phone! Is there any other company that will ship internationally to the US that has the i-mate SP5 in stock?

Mobilefun said they were in stock and changed there mind the next day. Expansys said they were in stock and changed their mind 1 hour later. My order has also changed from 1 to 9 days wait time. Can't win! |

Just sent expansys a mail asking where my order was, and that I had noticed the due date had changed and got this back:
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sir, Pls be advised that we are expecting stock sometime next week. We will ship your order as soon as we receive stock. Regards EXpansys --------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- 1111100111

Ah, I guess I'm out of luck then :| But at least they're a bit cheaper than Expansys and Mobile Fun. |

Update: "Thank you for your order with us. Unfortunately we have shipped the last of our SP5s overnight and as such are not able to fulfil this order until we receive further stock. We will have further stock arriving in around a weeks time and have allocated your unit from this. " Just missed one by the looks of it. Guess we will all have to wait. Nothing worse than waiting when you get that desire for something new and shiny

Got a confirmation mail that said shipment in about two days. Next day Expansys told me they were waiting for stock. E.T.A. jumped from 2 to 7 to 9 days. Cancelled today. On the phone they told me they could not tell when new stock would arrive, at least not within the next 9 days. Phoned around a bit and finally ordered at Smartphonestunts.nl, just a few euros more but garantee I will get it within the next day or two. No more Expansys for me, never! -------------------- When I die, I want to die like my grandfather, who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

I'm trying to place an order through Smartphonestunts.nl, but I'm not sure if they will ship to the U.S. Any idea?

We're expecting the QTek 8310 in the MoDaCo Shop very soon (this is the same as the SP5, i.e. the Tornado).
I'll post news as soon as initial stock arrives... P -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder. Check out my Blog! £10 off a £20 spend at eXpansys - click for details |

I order mine from eXpansys last week as soon as they came in stock and it showed 31 in stock when I ordered it. I even got the email confirmation of the order and the shipping. When it didn't turn up I called them and they said "hard luck" other orders were fulfilled first and the email that said it was confirmed meant nothing.
I then went and ordered it last Weds with Mobile Fun who were showing stock. They had lots of (very suspicious) problems with my credit cards (never had a problem before) and appeared to be trying to come up with reasons why they couldn't ship it. I then gave them a Maestro number which worked and they confirmed they still had one in stock. When it didn't arrive I rang them and was told it had gone by City Link and not Royal Mail (despite the email saying it was shipped by Royal Mail). Two further days and then they started pretending it must be lost in the post. When I challenged that they never really had it in stock and never really sent it they agreed to give me a credit! The credit hasn't shown up on my internet statement yet though! Make your own conclusions. |

I think a lot of these stores have said "you've just missed the last one" as to make them sound less incompetant.
