I waited to get a Pronto for a few months, since the philips website showed no dealers in my area (Roanoke,VA). Since I was ordering it mail order anyway I waited to get a good price.

However, about a month after I got my Pronto I went to a local hi-fi store to buy some B&W speakers. While I was standing there - to my surprise I saw a Pronto on the desk! I asked him if he sold the Pronto. He said he had been selling the Pronto since it came out and he has even called Philips about their website dealer locator. It seems to me that the Philips website only shows dealers of the Multimedia Computer thing and does not have specific Pronto dealers.

Just seems to me that Philips has alienated some of its authorized dealers and forced people to go mail-order. BTW the dealer in Roanoke,VA is Sound Decision
