One of the most anticipated smartphones in India - Micromax Canvas HD, hit the market on the Valentines day (Feb 14, 2013) at 12 Am. I was keeping a close watch on the status of the sales. Kept refreshing the 'Snapdeal.com' page for around 20 minutes, and I couldn't believe my eyes - The product got sold out! Within a mere 20 minutes? I felt it was some big technical flaw with the snapdeal website. Later came to know the product was actually sold out! And why shouldn't it have? 13,999 for a Quad core smartie! What had to happen, happened.
Now comes the funny part. All people who wanted to buy kept waiting and after another 2 to 3 days, the product again came in the snapdeal website - and yet again - SOLD OUT! What next? Again a release - But this time the dispatch time was given to be around 15 to 20 days. A few days later, that also got sold out, and till date all we get to see is "Oops! You are late"!
I do understand the fact that there was a Chinese new year, and they could be a delay in the re releases, but this late? Its now almost a month and still there is no Canvas HD available. I read somewhere that the product will be back in the market by 2nd week of March, but still there is no official news about the release. And to make matters worse, Micromax is not giving us a tentative date. All we can hope now is the re-release is worth it, and it happens soon now. Waiting, Waiting & Wanting....!
