I ordered my blue on Feb 5 with 1 day shipping, it came today, unfortunately it came with the screen damaged and will be returned so I am back in line.

B. Baker... Not sure if you're spreading that intentionally or not, but that site is a hoax. I reported your post in order to get that link removed.

According to this: http://www.dz-tech.com/asus-eee-pc-1000he-blue-netbook-intel-atom-n280166ghz-10-led-wide-svga-1gb-memory-160gb-hdd-win-xp-p-1115.html?zenid=025ecdd977bf8b366d57ef250c7e3ffbThey will be shipping the 16th. According to the Asus rep on the facebook group - Their US distribution company will be receiving them on the 13th, and they should be in retailers hands by the next week - so the 16th through the 20th would be reasonable... Amazon usually gets stuff early so I'm crossing my fingers for next Monday/Tuesday.

What model Wind and most important to me....Can the memory and HHD be upgraded as you can with the PC 1000 HE? So far I am sticking with Amazon but its a tempting alternitive to consider a similar unit currently available and in stock.

i agree with matthew and i think they sold out of their limited number of pre-orders until asus allows them extra units. they want to keep demand up and they can only pre-sell what they know they will be recieving.

I just received an "In-Stock ready to ship" notice from Next Day PC and is cheaper than Price Pros if anyone is interested. Personally, I'm sticking with my pre-order.

That USED to be the case with preorders on Amazon (arriving on release day). However, at least in my experiences that last few years, they seem to just ship them on release day. They want you to pay for the faster shipping options. If you choose standard or free shipping I don't think you'll get it on release day. Choose a faster method and you should.

Any updates on this laptop 'A1' w.r.t to the availability folks? I put myself on the pre ordered and waiting list too but nothings happened for about 5 days..Anyone started receiving them yet?

They have been released already. All of the stock/versions A1, A2, X1, X2 sold out rather quickly. Another shipment should be arriving the end of this month supposedly. I pre-ordered an A2 version from here. It only lacks a blu-ray drive which is not a big deal for me at least. You can check anywhere on the net. Every site is taking orders but they are pre-orders only. I've had great service from Amazon and figure they'll get one of the larger shipments.

Don't know for sure. Could be because Consumer Reports came out last week and listed the 7200 as their absolute TOP HTIB. I bought mine last week at Newegg.com. Got it for $699.99\Free Shipping. I don't know what their price is currently, but they are very professional, shipped it the day I ordered it, and the shipping was UPS 3 Day Ground. I like Amazon, but their pricing has gotten very sketchy. I've also noticed 1 day Amazon handles the selling and shipping of the 7200, and the following day a vendor like 6Ave is doing the selling and shipping of the 7200 thru Amazon. Check around before plunking your $$$$ down. Don't know for sure. Could be because Consumer Reports came out last week and listed the 7200 as their absolute TOP HTIB.

Eric. I am still waiting for mine (ordered on April 27th). My shipping date has not been updating and still says "Shipping estimate: May 30, 2006 - June 13, 2006". I am looking at the ones sold on Ebay for around $450-$460 and I keep thinking if I should spend an extra $75 and get it over with. Of course once I buy one, Amazon will notify me that mine is available on the next day and I'll feel stupid that I couldn't wait... So the wait continues... Chris

AP- I hope you are wrong but that is a good explaination. I notice that both Frys and Amazon are "sold out" while other stores such as CompUSA show they have them on the shelf. I'd rather wait for Amazon to buy this through. I'm a long time Amazon customer and they have yet to let me down on any item. That kind of customer service will keep me waiting for Samsung to work it all out. It's nothing I'm going to lose sleep over. But..interesting post nonetheless!

Cancel the Amazon order. It specifically states that it will SHIP on October 26. Plus, I have pre-ordered video games from Amazon before and they shipped, not delivered, on the release date. Boo that. It defeats the purpose of pre ordering.

I was fairly confident 3 weeks ago that amazon had no idea when these were going out.i ordered on March 3 and nothing.i ordered from razer 45 minutes after they went live and my wait time was mid May.I don't think we are seeing them before mid-May on amazon.CS never knows anything.Bummer but i would bet my razer edge pro on it

i can certainly see the 390/690 units coming real soon ! i am going to wait for the 680 to be launched and then wait for a month or two for the price to stabilize and then take the plunge :-) BTW, amazon states that the 680 will be available for shipping in 2 -4 weeks .... not sure if that is a typo too...

My Best Buy pre-order shows a release date of 10/25 so I wouldn't expect Amazon to be much faster. That being said, I do remember Google saying that they were available. Maybe their definition of "available" is different from ours...

I just got off the phone with CDW. After placing my order saturday for the onyx they said the shipment from acer was expected to arrive 9/22. On tuesday morning the website changed to an expected ship date for my order of 10/7. After talking to them on the phone they said the vendor hasen't called with a reason they weren't delivered or new expected date, but all the pre-orders should be filled whenever acer does deliver them.Update.. Just spoke with them again, the ETA for them to receive the onyx black is 10/15, the sapphire blue isn't until November...

Same thing just happened to me. Amazon gets these in lots, and allows pre-orders until those lots fill up. In fact, Amazon never sees the Wind, it gets shipped directly from the manufacturer to the buyer. So what probably happened was there are more delays and MSI isn't sure when it can start shipping the lot we're in.What's strange is that this close to the expected ship date, we don't know when it will ship. MSI should at least know how long the delay is.I'll be keeping my eye on other sites to see if they're in stock. I wouldn't go with mwave, since they're charging an extra $80, unless you really want it now.I'm curious if anyone has talked to an amazon rep to see if they have any details on the situation.

rumors from where? o0 it would be a dream come true if it does go live in before august..did u see the other lesser sized models in the same series? those have an actual date on amazon already..with the smallest having the earliest ship date, bigger getting a later date..and this 55 model dateless, so im assuming it's gonna be the last one to get out if anything..so i don't think it will be anytime now until october at least..and "they should honor" or "they will honor" ? x:thanks for the quick response though ^^
