Why did HP/Palm choose them for Pre-Orders! http://www.my3cents.com/productReview.cgi?company=Wirefly It is a really big disappointment for sure! Hardest part for me is that I work for them, and can't get one through the way I am supposed to order them. All the Internal e-mails hyping the Pre 2 and then can't even get one.

It is a really big disappointment for sure! Hardest part for me is that I work for them, and can’t get one through the way I am supposed to order them.

When I was at the Verizon store today, they warned me NOT to Use wirefly! Well, they were right. Oh I also got an e-mail telling me the accesories I ordered through HP Shopping for the Pre 2 shipped! Now, I will have the accessories for a Phone I don't own, and can't pre-order! Thanks HP/Palm for making it simple! FYI, KISS is what customers want! (KISS = Keep It Simple Stupid) Guess I'll return the accessories I paid $160 for, and save the $99 on the Pre 2 I can't order, and just shell out $199 for an iPhone 4. Hmm, that saves me $60!
