Borne out of the trying to get that $25 could I make a suggestion for a new forum or posting "format" or whatever? I'm not really sure how it would work but it sure would be nice if there was an organized way for people to post which stores they've visited and found inventory at. Of course, it would mostly be used during "deal" times. Right now, you have to wade through various forums and posts to find out which stores have stock. If it was somehow organized by region, province, city, whatever, I think it would be much easier. And as people post updates, you would be able to see the most current information. The best similiar website I can think of is all those gasprices websites – torontogasprices.com, calgarygasprices.com, gasprices.com, where people post the various gas prices throughout the city.

For that matter, people could post their "sales" geographically there too (eg. 613 SIM for sale, 1600 for sale in Calgary, etd).

Anyways, just a suggestion. Take it or leave it. My feelings won't be hurt if it doesn't happen or if I don't win the $25.

BTW, props to you Peter for setting up this website and forum. It's been a great resource for me trying to figure out the Speakout service. Ok, maybe that was for the $25 but I am being sincere and thought you might want to know that your efforts are appreciated.

Or you could use 7-11's store finder and call a few local stores. The problem with an inventory list here is that it will become out-of-date very quickly. Besides, will store clerks tell you how many of each model they have if you ask?

The reason gasbuddies works is that gas station prices are posted in plain view so people can gather them easily on their daily commute. Also the number of people who use and contribute to those sites is many orders of magnitude more than would be interested in one relatively obscure brand of cellphone service.
