I ordered from Amazon UK on July 29, as I still hadn't been e-mailed with a delivery date I contacted customer services today to ask when I should expect it as I went to ensure I'm in for it. They basically told me if I look at the item page I would see it isn't shipping until on or before September 17, but I'm free to cancel if I like. Now, I did send my order number so they know I wasn't talking about an order placed today. Seriously Amazon?!?

On the Amazon.com site, it says "The reviews are in ..." and quotes various reviews from yesterday. On Amazon.co.uk, the reviews are not in yet. Hopefully the K3s aren't on the same boat with the reviews

This is getting more exciting as release date comes closer
I promise not to laugh so hard at the Apple-fanboys in the future. Next week will be awesome, a new reader and maybe my copy of the Get lamp documentary willl arrive as well. |

I guess, I'll look even more silly showing everyone the crisp and black text on my brand new kindle ... and everyone else thinking: "Uh?, the screen is grey, looks like a cheap paperback and what's that horrible flickering when you turn pages". |

We need to stick together. I ordered mine in Toronto at 1:30 pm eastern time on Aug 2. Course, I'm not headed out of town so I could pick yours up and, like, kinda *hold it* will you get back ... LOL.

Yeah, don't even remind me about the wifi nightmare that was the iPad prior to firmware 3.2.1. Just a joke. If there's one thing Apple can't do properly (among many things), it's things to do with wireless. Whether it's antenna issues, wifi issues, BT issues (iPhone 4), iMac wifi issues, iMac Bluetooth issues, MacBook Pro wifi issues, MacBook Pro BT issues. The list goes on. And yes, that's just MY experience.
I still love my Applez, but I sincerely doubt any of us will have problems with the Kindle 2's wifi. It amazes me that companies STILL have trouble with wifi - probably one of the cheapest and simplest chips in a computer! |

I never had a problem with the wi-fi on my iPad. Just saying.

Here's what it said when I ordered (on the 28th and 29th) this shot is for the WiFi, but the 3G page said the same thing...
