They have a very small team processing 1000+ orders with people constantly emailing them wanting to know the status. Which just makes it even harder to process all the orders.
<br><br>I think the problem is people are assuming the worst. And by doing so, they only contribute to making their nightmare happen. You will hear if they run out of phones. Right now, they have plenty of phones to ship. Maybe they don't have as many phones sitting on their desk as they have orders. But they will by the time they get through processing the orders for which they have phones.
<br><br>To summarize: The current delay is not getting phones manufactured. It is dealing with all the orders and status requests they are receiving. No news is good news!<br><br>-Steven<br></div></div>
