Backordered

I just wanted to drop a note to the Interwebs that, if you are looking for the Nexus One car holder dock, know that LetsTalk.com (HTC is outsourcing to them to handle the sales) is currently lying about when the backordered items will be available. Here's a little rough history of what "backorder" means to LetsTalk.com:
  • 2010/8/15: Order placed. "In stock on 2010/8/18."
  • 2010/8/18: "In stock on 2010/8/20."
  • 2010/8/20: "In stock on 2010/8/23."
  • 2010/8/23: "In stock on 2010/8/25."
  • 2010/8/25: "In stock on 2010/8/29."
I still haven't cancelled my order because I want this thing, but I thought I would put this out there so that no one else is surprised. Hopefully it becomes available some time before the heat death of the sun.

(The same behavior is holding true for the desktop dock, but I'm not interested in that one.)
