Just and FYI alwayslowest.com has unlocked Pre 2 for less than $150 shipped, if I remember correctly.

So thought I'd try to get one to FrankenPre on Sprint. Too little, too late--OOS!

They were still listed on SMB site for $409 but I could not get the order to go through on line. I figured they had to match their own price so I called SMB, got through and placed an order--got an order # and confirmation email. Admittedly the CSR said she had no idea about availability--they had lots of phones but also LOTS of orders, but she would place the order and see what happened. After that I could not ever get through on the SMB website to check order status so I called last night and got through. The CSR said the orders were still all on hold.

Just out of curiosity I asked if he had a guess about the likelihood of me getting a phone. He said that he thought the possibility was very good--that they had thousands of phones and would begin shipping them in the next 24-48 hours. So since HP info has historically been so reliable and I believe absolutely everything that HP says,

, I'm sure I'll see a Pre2 soon!

Long way to say that you might want to check SMB if you are looking for a Pre2. Time will tell if I scored one.

PS I have a tracking number on the 32GB TP that I ordered on Friday night, 8/19!

Update: Talked to them again last night and the CSR said he was fairly sure I would NOT get a Pre2.

Moral of the story -- HP knows NOTHING!!!

Even though I wished I got the firesale I would buy one off ebay. Buy it now + shipping would be 145. This alwaysslowest.com unlocked pre 2 with no info seems sketcky

**pat_the_cat** · 08/27/2011, 07:53 PM

everything looked like it is/was brand new. No stickers calling out refurb. My first webos device. Had WM, BB, iPhone and Android prior. So far I like it. Just wish it was slightly bigger. OS is pretty slick though.

I thought so too. But was pleasantly surprised.

they are not that bad. Just google it and type reviews of that website and see if you will give it a try or not. I just did so I would but right now I'm not really looking for anything :/

no I had never heard them before. I searched for the HP PN for the unlocked version and they came up the lowest so I placed the order half thinking it was bogus. Like I said pleasantly surprised when it showed up all shiny and new

**iredline5** · 08/28/2011, 09:51 AM

I ordered an unlocked pre 2 on eBay new a few days ago for 120 shipped in the US. Seller had like 20+ and sold out in about 12 hrs.

I think HP Customer Service is doing a great job. They've been handed this mess from Leo and are doing everything they can to get the product out the door.

**Dantedrac** · 08/28/2011, 08:21 PM

I bit the bullet and ordered from AlwaysLowest.com as well. I'll report back if I get the product ever, heh. (Verizon Pre 2)

**D0lphin** · 08/29/2011, 12:15 AM

Do you know if your AlwaysLowest.com phone is a refurb? I may call and get the unlocked gsm one. I never heard of these people. I guess it is a legit company?

**KingNoso11** · 08/29/2011, 12:45 AM

I never heard of them but I ordered a Verizon Pre 2. We'll see what happens in a few days.

**barbedwiredave** · 08/29/2011, 02:26 PM

I got a email from alwayslowest.com today cancelling my order for a verizon pre 2, no stock

Sorry. I have an unlocked Pre 2. I didn't even look for the Verizon version.
