I have been looking for this printer everywhere too. I finally found it at Best Buy store. They don't show this printer on their website yet, but I actually went into the store and they located the printer to be in transit to their warehouse and I placed a preorder to have the delivery redirected to the store before entering their warehouse. I will be picking up the printer on March 30th from the store.

I ordered this from Amazon March 17 with a est. delivery of March 28-31. UPS tracking says it will be delivered April 3. Can't wait because I need a new printer to replaced broken HP psc 2410.

I was walking through Staples today and they had these on the floor and in stock. The sales guy at Staples said they had them since last week. I am pretty upset at Amazon--why is it taking them so long to get them in stock? If I didn't have an amazon gift certificate to use I would cancel my order and buy it at Staples.

Amazon customer service just provided me with this reply:"I apologize for any misunderstanding about the delivery estimate for your order. "PIXMA MP830 Office All-In-One Printer" has not yet shipped because it has not yet been released. As listed on our site, 'Release Date: Thursday, March 30, 2006.' As soon as the item has been released, we'll be able to ship it to you."

The likely answer is that this printer was to appear on the market on March 20, 2006. Given the features and quality of this machine, I also expect that the initial peak of orders would cause some delays. I've been looking at it since February, and am ready to place the order. Good luck.

I'm in the same position, and need to receive it this week as a birthday present. Very frustrating.

I ordered this on buy.com on 3/26 and recieved it today 3/29. I can't wait to open it up and test it.

My order information for the 256Gb model still hasn't changed. Still says not yet shipped and the earliest date it was suppose to arrive is still the 11th. This must be some sick joke on amazons part.

I ordered mine on April 7th of this year and I got my confirmation e-mail from Amazon today saying I will be getting mine on Thursday May 8th. I'm assuming that anyone who ordered it after or at the same time will not be getting a release date delivery and those who ordered it before April 7th will either get theirs on the release date, Wednesday, or Thursday.

I purchased two of them (red and blue), and they shipped without ever having a restock estimate. One was actually prepared for shipment before the other, but then both shipped together. It looks as though there's a heavy demand, which means they'll probably come in and out of stock for a while. If Amazon doesn't have a date, then I don't think there's any hope of us knowing. I suggest ordering them anyway and checking the order status often.

My hope is that Amazon is being cautious and giving themselves a buffer now. So that when you possibly get it on the 7th you'll be pleasantly surprised. That being said it sounds like Amazon got their shipments in late so that instead of having them day(s) before release so you get it on release day...now they are all after the date. That's what is sounded like when I talked to customer service. Very apologetic but not much they can do. I have 1 day shipping and it's the 8th for me too. I also confirmed that they did NOT oversell the preorders. That was my fear.

I purchased my unit on Sept 13th, and it got shipped earlier this evening(Sept 15th). This albeit the fact that amazon still reports this product in "pre-order" mode. I anticipate receiving the product Sept 19th. Hopefully will post a review soon.

Well, I ordered this computer mid-february after reading the internet rumours of the scheduled early march release. Yesterday was 11th, today's the 12th... still no word from Asus, and Amazon's customer service hotline has no info to offer. Anyone know when we'll finally get this thing?

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 Cancelled my order from Amazon on Feb 12 and ordered from HP. It shipped that night and will be in my hands Monday Feb 16th. I did this as HP has had the EX485 in stock and shipping for several days and I decided not to wait any longer for Amazon. The only downside is that HP charged me sales tax but has the same $50 off as 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.

@MJ, thanks--I had preordered a couple days ago, but now says not yet shipped. Wonder what's going on?

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.

Actually, I had pre-ordered my camera directly from Amazon (paid Amazon price, Amazon shipped it to me, etc.) about a month ago and I received my camera last week. I noticed since then that the camera is back to pre-order status, so maybe Amazon really means "out of stock"?

I ordered mine on 8/18 and was given a mid-September to early October time-frame. However, I just received notice that the computer was shipped today (!!!). Just wanted to update everyone.

Ordered on the 10th. Expected to deliver on the 13th. Watching amazon for a status update. Would not be suprised if it got switched to backordered.Update: Amazon has updated the delivery date to the 16th today (This is on one-day shiping). Let the customer know the day it's expected to be delivered that it'll be delayed is quite dumb. Stay classy Amazon

Yea I know, I ordered mine on May 2, and was waiting for it. Then I realized that it is not going to be delivered until July 14. It seems as though this item is backordered, but yet they still put the status of the item as "in stock".

Looks like we are all recieveing conflicting information from the Amazon reps... I was told that it should be shipping tonight, with a delivery date of tomorrow... I guess we will see. If I had known that there was going to be extra processing time I would have just gone with Newegg!
