Whether they are entirely pulling out of the US market is entirely speculation, although I agree that the writing is on the wall and in all likeliehood are doing just that, however, the fact that they have pulled out of Best Buy, which EatingPie refutes, is not open to debate. Best Buy has been clearancing out their 950's and 350's for some time and both are listed as "discontinued" in their computers. I know because I went to about a dozen stores before finding my 950, and each store told me the same thing.

There are other retailers that claim "discontinued" status as well.

Further proof is that getting a cover for the 950 or 650 is impossible. I have yet to find one. Although on this, I would love to be proven wrong. Please EatingPie, show me where the abundance of the 950 covers are, cause I desperately need one.
