What is up with the Montana 650T?

[+zeus661]

The end of October I ordered a Montana 650T from on online store (a well known store). Shipping was scheduled before November 5th. Then they changed the shipping to approximately November 25th. Anyone know why the Montana 650T is so hard to get? Any quality issues? What is Garmins holdup?

The one I looked at last weekend at Bass Pro Shops was much brighter,

I also liked that portrait or landscape could be set to automatic.

no idea what the problem is there, but every single store i looked at around here has it in stock

has nothing to do with Garmin its the store you bought it from

 

respectable stores will always have one or two in stock as opposed to waiting for an order before getting it from Garmin

After you call GPSCITY to find out what's going on could you post the response here please?

 

I have a friend that ordered one directly from Garmin over a month ago now and Garmin finally shipped it today. They (Garmin) said it was backordered. Perhaps Garmin is trying to cut costs by reducing inventory, only placing orders from the factory as the demand arises. The DELL approach.

I wonder if it has something to do with the scrren calibration issue ?

 

Perhaps they are switching suppliers for the screens.

I called GPS City today and found out that it did ship. I was told Garmin would not release any until they fix the screen calibration problem. Hopefully mine comes with no issues and it should have the latest software version.

I sent my 600 in due to the calibration issue 3 weeks ago. I called last week to see what was up and was told my replacement was on back order. I just got an email today saying it will shipping tomorrow. Canada Post, long weekend, might see it in a week.

So I got my Montana 650T today. I was surprised that even though I had to wait for it because Garmin was fixing some issue that it did not come with the latest version software. It had 3.4 so I did an update. Also it was not set to English.
