Great but where is the WiFi? GPRS is all well and good but it is amazingly expensive, at least in the UK, and slow. Looks quite nice case wise, very ipod like.

For WiFi you'd need additional hardware that fits in the SDIO slot. Too bad it's excluded, but the people I know who have had this one in their hands are all very excited about it. Can't wait to see one in real life myself.

I always find that manufacturers leave something out that would have made an otherwise good device fantastic.

Such a concept allows for competition. 
Otherwise, the market would be monopolised.

I find it hard to believe that expansys actually has any of these yet. Remember when they were selling the iPAQ H5600 pre-orders even though it was never released? Their estimated availability are usually very inaccurate as well.

Hmmm... not 100% sure on that one. I guess we'll just have to wait for someone to order one and see how long it takes.

I remember seeing the >A$1000 price earlier today. However, if you visit the link I just posted for Australia, you'll see that it's now at A$989.95; due November 21.
