Monday seems to be their favorite day. I believe this will now be the third Monday they've given us as a shipment date.

*UPDATE* I received a call from Sony today and they have been tracking this post on this forum with my concern about not receiving my PRS-950 and personally assured me that I would be getting my reader ASAP (won't post the date here to avoid confusion). I definitely applaud Sony for there customer service since this was a difficult situation..and they left me with the assurance of satisfaction.

I hope they follow thru, but I've had guarantees of next day shipment from them on two different occasions over the past 3 weeks. My current unit works fine so I'm not overly concerned, but I won't believe their comments until I actually have the replacement unit in hand.

*UPDATE* So FEDEX has just knocked on my door and low and behold my replacement reader is now in my hands!. I should also be receiving my $50 gift card from sonystyle soon.

So what is the difference? I am still waiting on mine. They never even called me back when they said a manger would be contacting me.

Glad you got your replacement finally. What about the firmware version? Is it the same?

Thanks! That's the same as reported before. I was just curious if it had changed.

Mr. Goodbar · 12-01-2010, 01:12 PM

Amazing. I wonder how long until the rest of us get the replacements. I might call again to see what story I get.

mrtibbs · 12-01-2010, 01:21 PM

Things i've noticed so far...the 3G icon is different...looks like the PRS-900 now the demo unit had a nice small 3G icon...it took a while to get 3G working like 3-5 mins once it was up the unit was responsive

M, So, how did you get a $50 gift card?

I only was offered a $25 gift card.

I just received my replacement 950 via FedEx.

Well I got a call from a big wig from Sony who offered it to me. After reading my post. I'm a Sony fan for life (PS3, 2x Tvs, 4x readers given to family, 3 PSPs)

Mr. Goodbar · 12-01-2010, 03:47 PM

Just got mine as well, but I can't get the stupid thing to register with my adobe id. Digital Editions never sees it when I plug it in. ARGH! Never had a problem with my first one.
