Went to a BB at 10:00 AM to pick up a Touchpad. Walked in, over to the computers section, and saw the display of TP's and Veer's.
There it was, the brand new HP Touchpad display device. I went over to it and played for a minute. Decided that yes absolutely I was going to do it and looked around, I saw the price tags, I saw the empty spaces where the accessories should be. I walked around the general area, but no touchpads to be seen.
I goto the closest Best Buy associated and ask her, about the Touchpad, dreading the coming answer. She immediately knows what I'm talking about, walks over to the display, grabs the price tag to go see where they are in stock. Sadly that store didn't have any in stock, an the nearest one with stock was about 15 miles away. Luckily the store manager happened to be at that store for a meeting right at that moment. They had 9 in that store, 50 in another at 25 miles away. He offered to bring a few back with him and sure enough a few hours later I got my phone call that he had them there and mine was waiting for me.
By the time I got in there, the four he had brought back were all sold and he had sold several more that were being brought down from another store.
Sadly, no stores within 50 miles had any accessories. So I'll say it was a mixed launch for me. Why BB didn't have them in stock, yet another store had 50 is beyond me, but at least they went out of their way to make sure I got my launch day TP, so pair with my Lauch day Pre-.
