Did you guys send them emails first or did those messages just arrive out of the blue?

I ordered last Thursday, emailed them Sunday and still haven't heard anything.

I got the same e-mail and I did not make any attempt to contact them either. Looks like they are slowly catching up to the orders. If our orders go thru, its almost comparable to the deal RIM employees are getting :)

Is there a timeline?

I think the pricematch policy only applies if:
1. They have stock
2. If the promotion is current (though I'm not 100% sure about this). As this was a mistake, it's been quickly taken offline and is no longer available.

That being said, doesn't hurt to try but your chances of getting a pricematch are pretty slim.

I only know what I've read on this forum, but it seems to depend on who you ask. Some employees have said 14 days, others have said you have til Jan 8-10?

RIM stock up almost 8% today...

On a different note, I also ordered the 2 for $300 "deal" and got my e-mail confirmation today just like everyone else. Still considering calling them as many of you have said that they seem to want confirmation of address or CC.

New SSH Telnet & Rlogin Client Based on PuTTY for BlackBerry PlayBooks

http://www.berryreview.com/2011/11/29/n ... playbooks/

"...Telnet SSH client for the BlackBerry PlayBook. This new client is based on PuTTY and supports the SSH, Telnet, and Rlogin protocols. This app is built on the work from PuTTY, qPuTTY, and the QT Library so it has a long legacy to build on. The SSH Client still has a way to go to be the perfect SSH client for the BlackBerry PlayBook but it definitely is the current best option for SSH on the PlayBook."

Also PRO TIP! :p
If you ever have trouble getting the menu to pop up when pasting text, try typing a few letters, like aaa, where you would like to paste. then hold ur finger down on the 3 letters, and the paste menu will pop up more easily :) Thats what I do anyway.

Oh man, you sure examine every angle! Two $150 deals are not enough! Need more! :) I'd hate to have to negotiate a business deal with you.

On another topic:

Just got an attempted delivery notification email for the Playbook I ordered sent to my brother in a different city here in Manitoba (where they leave the card on your door). I thought it was for the one I ordered for myself, so I was steamed they didn't try to deliver it to me (I'm at home right now). Maybe there's still hope for me getting it delivered directly to me within the next hour or so.

BTW, these are orders from one week ago, last Tuesday from Future Shop when they had backorders available for an hour or so.

I ordered mine on the 24th as well. Called them the next day and asked if they actually had them on stock. They said they did but it's just taking time to process the high volume of orders and I should expect it to ship out "in the next few days." The rep goes on to say that it may ship out by Monday or Tuesday. Will call today to check... I'll probably get the same answer with the dates changed.

Wha? Never heard of that happening. Sounds like it's time for a tech support call.

I just checked mine and the order history is still there. Is it possible you have accounts under two different email addresses or something?
