When I decided to order the first Oasis, late on the day it was announced, I intended to get a wifi-only with a merlot cover. By then the estimated dates for both the merlot and walnut had been pushed out to June (I didn't want black so didn't check it). The walnut 3G was still on schedule so I decided to pay the extra seventy dollars and ordered that one.

At that point I was still in my starry-eyed, optimistic stage of new gadget lust and had no thought of ordering more than one. By the time I heard of availability at Best Buy I'd started to see a few pictures and negative comments about the screen. Best Buy had the model I originally wanted, the wifi-only merlot, so I ordered it, figuring I had a couple of days to decide if I wanted to cancel the Amazon order.

I waffled for a day or so but by then I'd seen and heard enough that the decision came down to choosing to keep the two orders or to cancel both. I'm now definitely looking forward to having two to compare.
