Too bad this is only for Yank customers. HP Canada has changed the date about 10 times :evil:
C'mon HP, I want to give you some money, what's the hold up? The expected release date from HP Canada is August 25th!!!!

Funny thing that they are not available in Canada yet. My 3970 upgrade shipped from Ontario, CA yesterday.

I received the following e-mail yesterday, Thursday, August 14, 2003, regarding the upgrade CD for my h5455:

This is the second such message I've received. The first came Monday, July 28, 2003, after the first delay. I think it's a nice touch that they send me a message two days after the supposed ship date to let me know that they won't be able to ship "on time." I especially like the part about my current selection being my "first choice," but that some of the items could be changed or shipped separately. Nice form letter, HP. Now I have to call to tell them that I still actually want to receive the update CD or they'll cancel my order?! :evil:
Thought I'd pass that along.

Yeah, so i ordered mine as soon as the 3900's upgrade was website-announced. But, checking my order status, it shows it shipped, but no UPS Tracking ID; So, i'm left a bit in the dark as to when it shipped.
Anyway... When i do get the upgrade i plan on doing a complete hard reset of my 3900 and *then* upgrade. No more light-grey screen of death for me, like when i upgraded to 1.11 and killed the beast in the process, somehow, needing to send it in.
Hopefully this upgrade goes a wee-bit better.

You should feel yourself lucky!
In the UK we can't order until September (doesn't say when) for shipping in October.
And in US$ it is going to work out about $70

This is great. The 38xx upgrade will ship in 2 - 3 weeks, but this is still sooner than the original October ship date. HP - doing a good job.
