This worked for me a week and a half ago. I can't verify right now since I don't have Flash access currently.

I'm fairly certain that Philips themselves still has stock... distys just have to want to order.

Yes but a local check not long ago at several of the top US distributors showed "discontinued" and very little if any stock available. And their sentiment is; it is gone and we are not buying anymore.

Hi Dave,

Sorry but it makes me confuse: How a NEVO dealer like you has become the official voice the top US Pronto Distributors?
How can you confirm 'their sentiment'?
I cannot talk for the US Distributors, but I am a European Pronto Distributor and can talk on my own only.
You obviously do not represent me and I do not have this sentiment.

Yours faithfully,


Daniel

My distributor in Belgium has told me that there are a couple of parties that want to combine their forces and take over the complete pronto line.
They expect it to be done within 3 till 4 months.

As I previously said, I have a feeling we'll get some news ath the Integrated Systems Europe 2011 Fair. I doubt that whoever is trying to revive the pronto line will miss such a big event.

Got a letter today that the negotiations are definitively off.
They couldn't get to an mutual agreement.
All Pronto activities will stop om december 31th.
However Philips promised to continue the after sales for a period of time.

So i guess it's the end :s

Ok, that is a fair statement. I will rephrase: The many major distributors in the United states have all sold out and have told me personally on the phone Pronto is gone and they do not intend to order any more. They have closed out what is in stock and I have had distributors do nationwide searches. This was actually in later November. So, just reporting what I was told first hand.

Oh, just for the record, I have been selling Pronto products since 2003.

I can confirm what RemoteQuest said. Only Pronto products that were available in the US back in November were used demo units. Those have since been gobbled up.
