After hearing the story of another thread where a customer was upgraded for
free as they could fulfill his original order, I decided to see if I could wiggle
my way a similar offering by ringing up apple directly (online store sweden)
I spoke to the lady on the phone and explained I had been checking daily
since they were announced, but not committing to order one as I wanted to get it asap so I waiting to see if their online store dates or local store would arrive first and buy which ever was quicker.
She assured me that the HD model was is in stock at their central hub in
holland and that I just needed to order one and would have it in 3 days.
I was super excited, yet somewhat skeptical also and asked to double check,
triple check etc .... after a while she started to get a little annoyed with me
for asking her to make sure as I had my credit card ready to pass over the
details for an order.
And then she said no.
it wasnt in stock and there were absolutely NO HD MBA available at present.
Furthermore she had no idea when they may arrive as even the official
online apple store has no set date for the release of these.
So after a lot of ear time on the phone with this customer rep, i gave up.
she was nice and everything and at no time did I even try to execute the
plan of trying to scrounge a free upgrade since she didnt sound like she was
"all there", i gave up.
Nice lady but not the sharpest knife in the draw.
so the moral of this story .... even calling apples online store direct where they can see all there virtual stock from around the world and they still can be thick as 2 short Planck's.
new MBA HD will be available ..... when apple knows (which they dont)
