In light of the earthquake in Japan, I'm not going to be too concerned about products from Japan being delayed. I'm waiting for a part from Japan to repair my rear window defroster in my car. If I have to wait a little longer for it, I don't mind. I'm sure the priority now is rescuing people who may be still trapped and helping the wounded.

Feeling for sorry for someone isn't helping anyone.

Peoples lives are wiped out and we're discussing the after effects of "device availability" .... ah only in America

Certainly when the twin towers were taken out by terrorists it effected a number of other countries. If we had stumbled across their websites discussing 'so I wonder how long this will delay our blah, blah, blah...', just think how insensitive that would come across to us?

Sure you offered you're condolences, but that doesn't make it any less inappropriate. We'll get the phones when we get them. Until then there are far more important issues being discussed concerning this matter. Have some couth for God sakes.

This thread is based on a horrible question that should never even be asked. This is the Brussels sprout thread: just horrible taste.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who can't stand brussel sprouts!
