When will the Wifi model be released? I see that the 3G model is now shipping, but the Wifi model is still marked as "Not Yet Released." Anybody know when they will start to ship?

I totally agree with you Ibrahim... I thought about doing the same exact thing, however, just TRY to order it at bestbuy.com and you will see that the total is a lot higher. Ugh, I don't want to pay extra for tax and shipping! This is ridiculous!

Go to Google, type in Chromebook, and hit news and you'll see a lot of reviews from various forms of media. A lot of its by tech people whom see to missing the point of the Chromebook, but there are a few people who understand whom the target audience is. :) But from both groups, there are notable criticisms of the product.

I have called amazon 4 times now... nobody knows anything! It says all over the internet that the Samsung models HAVE been released, and it's the Acer ones that have been delayed... no one seems to know anything. I'm tired of checking my orders 20+ times a day, I'm ready for them to ship it! I mean I preordered it June 9th and everything... it should've been delivered to me tomorrow :[

Apparently Samsung won't say when they are releasing this model. I'm getting very antsy!!!

I'll give it another day and then cancel my preorder. What kind of garbage is this? Your customers pay in advance, don't get their item on the promised release date, and then they are left in the dark on when it will actually come out?

Lucky you, I have no update to my pre order, and the item is showing out of stock. I am seriously not impressed with Amazon's lack of communication.
1001866
Also, I checked bestbuy.com and they have this model in stock, however the price is a lot more for some reason...

I have just spoken with amazon customer support and the representative told me that they will receive inventory of all models of the chromebook by the end of June 2011 and begin shipping them out at that time.

FWIW the current product status page shows a 'real' shipping/in-stock date of 10/26! Although ... as I understand it, price fluctuations are only honored if the pre-order was made 30 or less days prior to the ship date. That said, Amazon does seem to have a fair price on this device, assuming it's the US-3G version!And I'm personally waiting for the N85 myself, but might end up being tempted to get this N96 if the N85 continues to be delayed (US version)

And more importantly, what are the new features of this compared to the older one? Hopefully, there is support for iPhones since it has fried one of my older iPhones. I refuse to try it with any 3G modeled iPhone.

Yes, I did. I got mine today but I can't use it with AT&T yet until they officially release it on April 11. At least is what they told me :(

The new one w/ LTE drops on 6/3, so maybe you should wait for it. It will probably work on contract plans since it's not 3G only.

yeh i spoke with amazon today and they said there is no update on shipping dates. they "dont know when they will receive the product". i emailed josh at asus and he said "Hi there, They have received their shipments I believe so it should be very soon." Whats up with amazon? i woulda paid the $399 + shipping elsewhere if i knew amazon was going to be lagging.

I ordered Thurs June 14 at 9:30pm est and the status is still "not yet shipped" ... can other people who ordered earlier than me and have gotten theirs already post when exactly they ordered so the people who are waiting have a better idea when we can expect availability. Thanks.

I called Amazon today and the customer service rep told me that they are expecting to get 750 phones in late in the day on the 25th/early the 26th. She said she can't guarantee that Nokia will come through, but as of now, they should receive their first phones on the 25th/26th. I ordered on May 22 and she said my order should be among the first 750, but she didn't give me any information on the cut off date for being in the first shipment. I really hope this phone gets here sometime next week. Waiting is killing me!

The item is actually at the Amazon warehouse (we have 3 there presently) and 2 at our warehouse, but there is an issue with the details page that Amazon displays that shows it having WiFi when it does not. We are actively working with them on fixing the issue.

I believe the 3G version just showed up passing the FCC, so if rumors are correct it will likely be another 3-4 weeks until we start seeing them in stores. But then that's just the current theory.

i just purchased this tablet and i also tried to connect to the internet using 3G, and wasnt able to, the wifi isnt even working for me. if you find out the answer to your question please post it for everyone to read. Thanks

Samsung didn't miss the deadline for the Galaxy Tabs release yesterday, they simply flatly lied about the date. Samsung always knew their tablet would not be shipped on the 10th of April but they don't want you, the Samsung fan, to go and buy an iPad. They are going to drag the delivery as long as they possibly can, after-all, lying is cheaper than making the device at an accelerated pace, there are no overtime salaries involved. Also, the American wireless carriers are sitting on a HUGE pile of unsold 7" 3G Samsung tablets and no one is buying them on contract, why, you would have to be dumb to pay thousands of dollars for a carrier plan when the Wi-Fi version is about to be released. Samsung made a mistake to announce WiFi models so quickly and now they have to protect the carriers by delaying the release.

i spoke to a asus rep and he told me that it is doubtful now that the 31 will release in the usa. I too was waiting on the 31 but I finally ordered the 21 and have not looked back. So far I am really loving it and do not regret my decision

I have ordered mine from Amazon. I order it on 11/6/06. I keep on checking the tracking info. It still says "carrier notified to pick up the item". How long did yours take to reach you. I can't wait to have it!!!!

No, I've been trying to figure it out for awhile now. Tried to download updates and settings. Nothing. Only wifi when wifi available. Hope u figure it out!

Not the current version, the LTE version are getting approval from FCC and should be available thru verizon or ATT. Launch date ? Late march maybe, anticipate cost be much higher.

So sorry not the Verizon version. We are trying to find out more information on bringing in that version. So far no ETA just yet.
