I've usually only seen customer limits for items which were on sale, limited release or new to the market.
I can't imagine why a store would limit customers on an item which was being discontinued. It would seem to make more sense to unload discontinued items as quickly as possible. But perhaps there's a reason that I'm not in marketing...

If that were the case, then wouldn't it make better sense to limit customers to one device? Because if they are ordering two with the intention of returning one, the company will still be out a lot of money.

It would also be interesting to know whether there are limits on in-store purchases of the KA1. Otherwise, what's to stop someone from buying several devices at a given store with plenty of stock?
Of course, one could still go from store to store in a city like Toronto and pay cash to get around any such limit. But that would involve a bit more legwork.
