As much gentle ribbing as the Fender rebranding of T-Mobile's myTouch 3G has gotten, someone's obviously buying the blasted things because the carrier's been wiped clean of them -- all 17,250 units, according to TmoNews. Sure enough, a quick check of T-Mobile's site confirms that the device is listed as "temporarily out of stock," but the problem is that "temporarily" might be a hell of a wait -- it's being claimed that we won't see a fresh batch of these until April. Why the huge gap? It seems T-Mobile had to go back to HTC and place a second order for the phone, possibly a sign that even the carrier is shocked at the success of a year-old, warmed-over device with some fake wood and a corporate tie-in. Amazing what a little rock 'n roll can do, isn't it?
It sold out cause you can't get a Nexus One at the store. Most people don't like getting phones thru Internet.
Surprising, but good news. I was expecting this to languish largely unsold as a monument to bad business decisions. Hm, I think this illustrates how little I know about business.
@Greenverde It's amazing what advertising will do for a product. At least this has working 3G, unlike the Nexus One.
It's sold out coz everybody likes it, and the fender is only a LIMITED EDITION. If I haven't got my iPhone 3gs I probably would have the fender too:)
