i received my 500 from sony rewards last wednesday....and loved the 4 days i had with it. i think it took about 4 days for shipping.
On a return flight from san diego i found a credit card belonging to someone from an earlier flight. I returned the card to the stewardest, and flew home. Little did i know the damn seat was cursed. I left my brand new reader on the plane and no one has turned it into lost and found

.
i hope the rest of you guys get this thing sorted out. Now im in a real pickle...do i go buy another one at normal price, or just cut my losses and run.
