Heads up - Best Buy has the Oasis in stock much sooner than Amazon..
Just a heads up for anyone in the US - Best Buy has all 3 colors available for order, with delivery much sooner than Amazon.
At least right now, they're showing the Merlot delivery would be on May 2nd.. |

Just ordered a Merlot version from BB with expected Monday delivery. I'll cancel my brown cover order from Amazon. After seeing a couple videos it looks like a piece of lint will scratch that cover. I don't mind a distressed look, but that seems a little over the top.

Thank you for this heads up. My delivery date from Amazon was July 13 (Merlot, Wi-fi, no offers). Just ordered from Best Buy and that date is May 5!

Thanks for the information. I got my Oasis today and am not happy with the screen. I'm not sure I'll return it, but if I do I'll have another available May 4. If I waited I'm sure these Best Buy ones would be gone.

I'm not happy with my screen too. I've ordered one from Best Buy. I'll see which one I like the best and then decide what to do with the other.

I noticed the Merlot cover is now sold out on Best Buy. Black and Walnut are still available immediately (as soon as tomorrow if you pay for the overnight shipping; Thursday May 5 with free shipping.) Looks like they'll be in stores on Friday May 6.

I ordered the Merlot late last night and got a shipping confirmation this morning.

So, several posters have said they are unhappy with the screen, but don't say why. What is the problem?

My screen is somewhat yellowish with a color shift. The thicker side where the LEDs are has slightly whitish blotches (which I can live with) and the color shifts from warm white on that side to yellow of the left. It isn't a terrible screen compared to some pictured in another thread here, but the color shift is distracting to me when reading and my Voyage has a better screen. I'll stick with my Voyage if I can't get a better Oasis than the current one I have.

Edit: Oh, well, I just got my shipping email as well, and I'm using free shipping. Curious to see where it will be coming from since if it's shipping UPS Ground I could potentially get it more quickly. Cross my fingers! Last edited by selianth; 04-28-2016 at 02:45 PM. |
