Fujitsu to JK- shipping out next week
I just got off the phone with Fujitsu since the P1620 hasn’t arrived today. They couldn’t find the order in their system so he called the "home office" and was told that since this is a leap year their computer system decided that any computer orders in February didn’t count and disappeared from their system totally. My P1620 will "absolutely, positively" ship out next Monday the 25th and arrive at Mobile Tech Manor next Wednesday the 27th. Geez I don’t know if I can wait that long.

Thats a nightmare my friend, I feel for you, I know what its like desperately awaiting a new toy and Id be gutted if that happened to me!
Oh god dude. Many a day have I spent waiting by the door for that special man to arrive. And then to see the day end with no new gadget, and then to find out that it hasn’t even shipped yet.
PS. James, ever think about adding a forum?
Feel for you? What about me? I’ve been awaiting your review before I buy the P1620. Now Rob at GottaBeMobile posts a teaser about a new Motion tablet that he can’t tell us much about yet. My life’s on hold. Help!
That story about the leap year and the disappearance of the order beggars belief. As for the unbearable waiting, 6 months from now you’ll wonder why you got into such a state. Well, that’s how it is with me anyway!
I feel kind of guilty now, my 2710p was 3 days US to UK door to door – LOL
Don’t they know with whom they are messing?
Here’s to it coming as promised this time.
Ah, the dreaded 02Y2K8 problem.
I agree… I’m desperately awaiting your review on the P1620 and seeing whether it’s worthy of being my next tablet!
If it ships February 29, does the warranty last until the next February 29?
James, I’ll be happy to help. If you can’t wait any longer just have Fujitsu divert it to my place. I’ll wait for you.
Are you sure you didn’t order a Cloudbook?
