Quickies: N610C, T-Series Patch, Australia

Posted By: As Listed Monday, January 21, 2002 9:33:30 AM

CompUSA is offering the N610C for $250 after a $100 instant rebate. The N610C can't be ordered from CompUSA's webstore; it must be bought at a retail store and only from units in stock. -Roby

Sony has posted a 8 kb patch that fixes a bug that will shut off the T415 or T615C before its auto-off time limit is reached. Visit Sony's Support page than click on "Updates" for the specific model. -nXt

An Australian Palm User Group has started. This is the first attempt at a Australian PUG for a long time and it is growing quickly. It's being hosted on Yahoo Groups for the time being. -Adam Yap

T Series Patch

Does anyone have any details on the bug in the T series that this patch is designed to fix? To be honest, this is the first I've heard of it and Sony's explanation of the bug is a bit cryptic.

well, the CompUSA on 37th and 5th is out of them...none in stock.

Ditto for the one on Broadway and 57th.

So Manhatten shoppers are out of luck.

CompUSA has a history of offering these deals, only to have the customer arrive at the store to see that they're already out-of-stock.

I arrived at my local CompUSA yesterday when they opened and was informed that they were out. Since they say "limited to stock on hand," they aren't guilty of false advertising--their stock on hand is zero. Of course, they found a store 45 minutes away that had 2 units in stock. But rather than drive that far, I headed 5 minutes down the road to my local Costco, where they offer a bundle of the N610C + slim case for $280. That combo would cost $10 more at CompUSA, so I went after that deal. If you're near a Costco, you can probably get that deal. They may also be offering it at Costco.com.

If you go to CompUSA's page for the N610C, you can put in your ZIP code and get a list of the stores nearest you and whether they have any available. Of the 5 stores listed for me, four had them in stock. Still, it wouldn't hurt to call ahead and be sure. They might even hold it for you.

it's Adertismest....even after you call.
You would never know until you really get into the store and find out salesperson's "sorry.....".

Support?

Wow - this is great. An S360 on steroids, albeit low-grade. Any worry that Sony won't support this since the model is being put on the wayside?
