I just received delivery of this item! It shipped out last Friday (I got it shipped next day) and it just arrived today. Won't have a complete good feel for it until towards the end of the work week though. So far, trying to import music from all our macs. Then trying to get photos on there so it can be a digital photo frame as well! Touch is very responsive and will need to try out blu-ray soon. It's in and thank goodness as the old vaio can now be retired. So at least we all know they're coming in!

I saw the lower numbered models at Frys this weekend. They didnt have the L117FX/B. I played around with it briefly and the touch screen was more responsive than the HP all-in-one model. All the HP's had Vista and DVD drives for about the same price as the Sony, which had blu-ray and Windows 7. Although I dont think I would use the touch screen much (don't like the smudged screens), I did like the look and build of the Sony. Everything seemed to be built a bit better than the HP. I can't wait for the reviews to come out...

Even the Creative web site doesn't have it yet, they only sell it on preorder. If it's not even on the manufacturer's website, then nobody will have it. It may come out a bit sooner there. Seems like it would be pretty stupid of Creative if they didn't put this out in good time for purchase and delivery by Christmas, that's what I'm counting on (crosses fingers). If it doesn't come out by then I may just break down and get the 8 gb version, even though this is the one I really want! Argh!

I suspect that Amazon is getting this product in limited quantities and is filling orders in the order that they were received. I pre-ordered mine at the end of March and it hasn't been filled yet.It's unfortunate that Amazon is unable to give a more accurate availability status, but I'm guessing that they do not know when they will be receiving their next shipment or how many headsets that shipment will contain. It sounds like this is a popular product and most likely Amazon received quite a few pre-orders for it.

I bought the Sony off their website today. Frankly I would have purchased whichever one was available first. I paid for the express shipping so I should have it by next Tuesday and leave next Thursday. That was close, but it will be good to have on hand. Thanks for all the opinions and information, I appreciate it.

I saw it on Sony's website in black....really neat looking in black, but I have silver since black wasn't available at Best Buy!

Well, I ordered mine on the 12th and got them on the 15th but this was before they were on backorder. Now it says it'll be available on the 26th :( They are selling these at Hot Topic for $19.99 right now.

Looks like 4 other vendors have beat Amazon to the punch and have them in stock now. I spoke to a Amazon rep a couple days ago she said they don't know when they will be in stock.

Sorry Sharon, I don't know. Maybe several different google enquiries will tell, somewhere Sony has a store online as well if not Amazon.

On the availability. Amazon told me 11 February. When I asked what they based their estimate on, given the manufacturer's estimated of March 2011, they have been strangely quite, not answering my e-mails. Makes me think there was more than a bit of deception going on, trying to increase pre-orders. Otherwise, why wouldn't they answer my question? Not too remarkably, they quickly changed my status from estimated delivery to "not released". This isn't the first time I've seen Amazon lie when it suits their purpose.

Many vendors seem to have gotten more pre-orders than they could handle, including Amazon itself. Vendors do seem to get getting additional units as time goes on, so I don't think you've missed out at all. Just be a little patient or look for a different vendor that has the item definitely listed as in stock.

Yeah I'm pretty positive the date has been pushed again. I have been checking Amazon, New Egg and the Razer websites practically everyday for any updates and all the websites say out of stock or unavailable and the Razer site says the item has not been released. So honestly, I'm just gonna stick to the Razer site and wait until their site says it's available. To long story short, I wouldn't hold your breathe. Stick to the source.

This model was released a few days ago and can be found for sale on excaliberpc.com and CDW.com I don't know why Amazon doesn't yet have it in stock. Being an Amazon Prime member I want to take advantage of 2-day shipping and not wait an undetermined 1-2 months before I get it. Gee you would think that Amazon is one of the largest (if not THE largest) retailers of this product so would have first crack at having them in stock. I'm baffled.

I purchased it December 30th and still isn't in stock, but the black color is in stock now so we should be seeing the others being in stock soon.

Who knows??? I saw the July 24th date last week and now as I look at various sites it says August. Just "August", no date with it. I preordered my in April, since it was suppose to be due on in May. Then June. Then July 24th. Now "August". I don't know why Amazon seems to be actually selling them now. Does this mean they actual have ones in stock? I would call Amazon (the contact information isn't hard to find) and ask them directly IF they actually have them *in stock*! To be honest, I would be shocked if they did, because no one else does! (And don't be fooled by eBay; there are sellers there ALWAYS selling stuff months before it is released! Of course, they never mention that in their listings!)

@Hugh - by the time I get to evaluating and posting, many reviews will be posted. I'm leaving in a week for a multi-month hike 3 days after the camera is due to arrive.Interestingly, the Sony website now says they're taking pre-orders and it will ship 3/17. I've got my e-mail saying it will ship 3/12 so I'll see by the end of today what happened.

Two questions. Does anyone know how long it usually stays out of stock? Or does it just come back at random? Anyone know if there is a way i can be notified when it comes NEW back in stock? Any help would be great. Thanks.

I don't think they had any idea it would be quite this popular, particularly as a pre-order. Hoping to get mine, too, before Christmas. But, if it's delayed further, it's delayed further - that certainly won't make me not buy it. I understand how anxious people are to get their hands on one of these - I feel the same way - patience is a virtue. (yeah, yeah, I still want it here now, too ;-)
