View Full Version : CompUSA says T-Mobile PPCPE discontinued, replacement on the way

This weekend, I unsuccessfully attempted to obtain a T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition from CompUSA. They were out of stock (Portland/Tigard store), as was the other store in town (Jantzen Beach). I asked if they could order one in, but their inventory system was down, preventing them from checking. They said they would check the next day, and call me.

Well, they never called me back, so I called them this morning. According to the person I spoke to in the PDA department, no CompUSA west of the Mississippi has any in stock, and their inventory system shows it as "discontinued". He said that must mean that a replacement is coming, but he didn't have any details.

Has anyone else heard this? Do your local CompUSA stores still carry the T-Mobile PPCPE (you can check at www.compusa.com by entering your zip code on the PPCPE page to check for local pick up)? Could it be that the XDA II is coming sooner than we thought?

I really, really want to get my hands on one of these, but unfortunately, it has to be through CompUSA, since I'm trading in my T-Mobile Color Sidekick on a Replacement Plan. The T-Mobile website still lists them as available.

If anyone by chance finds a CompUSA that has these in stock, please let me know, so I can have my store order it from them.

Or, if anyone has any juicy details on the availability of the replacement model/XDA II, let's have it!
