Called up Audiovox yesterday about getting my SMT5600 replaced for various reasons. I read on a forum that if you called them up and provided your credit card info they’d send a brand new one and just put a hold on the card till they received the old one back. At any rate, yesterday they said to call back today to see if they’d have any in stock. So I called up twice today and am first told that they don’t know when they’ll come in. Then on the second call I’m told “arrival of new and replacement SMT5600′s has been postponed indefinitely”… Uh, that’s not good. Maybe I’ll steal Scoble’s and swap mine in, or maybe Scoble just jinxed the entire thing to begin with by getting so many to associate the phone with his name. I’m left wondering. Why?
