Just went and picked up a Surface from Times Square NYC
- Just thought id give an update on Surface availability. I went to the Times Square Microsoft store in NYC this morning at 8am. The store was packed with at least 100-150 people. Walked up the counter and purchased a Surface w/cover no problem.
Asked the sales person if they had a large stock left and he replied "I don't know for sure but we've been selling them non stop since last night and I expect well run out sometime today."
Not sure if that's true or not but glad I was able to get it so easily!
Now, time to un-box and check this beast out.
Happy surface day everyone!- Share

- That's pretty impressive the amount they have in stock at launch if that's the case.

I hung around and did the in-store setup, which was a good thing since it wasn't liking my Gmail for some reason and wouldn't set up that e-mail account. But it got sorted finally (neither me nor the staff guy walking it through with me know why, it just went through). But other than that little hang-up, it is quite smooth and I am liking it so far! :)10-26-2012 10:12 AMLike 0

- Nope, not in Times Square, but I wouldn't be surprised if they went on display around Nov. 12.

@doublesman the store just opened last night which is why you didnt see it before - now you cant miss it.
Been using it now for a hour or so and thus far I LOVE IT. Everything is super smooth, very fast. Installing apps could not be easier. I was very surprised how easy it was to use the touch keyboard/cover and how well it responded. Just attached it and started typing as usual and no issue, punched out a few emails with ease - even the mouse pad works quite well.
Trying to figure out how to set the personalized lock screen now.- Share

- so sad, i waited in line for almost 1.5 hours. I was told last week the store would open at 8am and asked if possible they could allow me to buy one earlier so i can get to work, they said no just tell my work im coming in late so i did. So after waiting for 1.5 hours and 8 passes i ask what time they are opening, first they said 8, and i said it is 8:10 now, then they said 10 im like wtf! then they came back and said 9, that point i was supposed to be at work by 9.
So i just left, what a terrible experience. Even the week before when i asked if i can preorder in store, they said yes come to the store, so i did, they saidi couldnt online only. Everyting online was sold out at that point.
Terrible experience, so i ended up leaving so i can get to work later than normal, thanks MS!
Oh ya, the reps there was advertising windows 8 on the surface too and had no clue how to explain xbox music. Pretty sad.10-26-2012 11:54 AMLike 0 -
Not sure if it got bigger, i know they delayed the opening so that lines can get bigger so it looks like they are a lot of people.
I had to leave cuz they said it was going to open at 8 and ended up opening at 9, had to get to work. i am planning to get there too during lunch10-26-2012 12:42 PMLike 0 - Sad, Panay touted how this is a 32GB device yet people are reporting only 16-17GB free at initial activation time. Sounds like fraud to me.10-26-2012 01:08 PMLike 0
