Bod quickly contacted Kevin but directed to a voice recording. Bob left a message that he would buy the iAM smart-phone for $288.00.On the morning of 15th February, Kevin retrieved the message from Bob. However, Kevin did not respond as he had already put up a notice on 12th February in the All Things Phoney on-line magazine withdrawing the sale of his iAM smart-phone. Bob did not see the notice even though he read the on-line magazine dated 12th February.On the morning of 16th February, there was an announcement that iAM2 smart-phone would be launched on 18th February at the price of $388.00.

Stuart had contacted Bob at 11.00 a.m. soon after hearing the announcement and told him not to waste his money buying iAM smartphone.Kevin was furious when Bob told him that he was not proceeding with the purchase.
