Reminder: Microsoft Band is now back in stock for online orders! (Updated)
Update: As of 1:15 pm ET, the Microsoft site is reporting out-of-stock again. Many orders may not even have gone through due to the chaotic and unreliable ordering process.
For those of you still yearning for a Microsoft Band, which has been in short supply since its launch, starting now at 1 PM ET you can order online directly through Microsoft in small, medium or large sizes. News of the restocking came last night.
The price is the same $199 as before, and it is first come, first serve, meaning you better hit that order button. The current restocking of the Microsoft Band is itself limited, so there is a very good chance this lot will be gone within a few hours at most.
Note: Orders are still US-only for shipping.
If you live near a Microsoft Store, the store managers are taking down names and sizes for when they receive new stock as well. They do not require any down payment, just a name and phone number. The Store should call you when your reserved Band has arrived, making the process much easier (shipments trickle in every few days).
Who is ordering a Band today? Let us know below.
Order your Microsoft Band direct from Microsoft (US only).
