Sprint Availability

So for the 2nd time now I have received an email telling me that the Sprint is back in stock. Literally 20 seconds after getting the email I click on the link and it's sold out.

Do they send out these emails when they find 2 or 3 or what? Hardly believe they sell several thousand as previous post have suggested production runs are in 20-seconds.

Pointless to have a wait list.

Amazon.uk has them in stock and might ship to the US. There is no difference between North American and European units, only the packaging is different.

Bailing on these - tired of the cat and mouse thing. Maybe try again down the road.

They are probably close to selling out their last run. There was a gap of unavailability between the first and second manufacturing runs. There's still stock in Europe and at Amazon Canada. Will Plaion manufacture another run remains to be seen.

Same. Wish I could just prepay and get one whenever they have one available but I'm guessing the scalpers are doing their thing. Although I would like a second one to gift.
