I haven't seen any new updates from Netronix via the FCC so I doubt there's something coming unless they went through someone else.

Based on Wikipedia it looks like an upgrade with a more efficient and dual core processor and then the speed upgrade from microSD to eMMC. I would love to see a Libra BW with the same specs even if upgrading the storage would be more annoying.

You are not out of luck. Order from Chapters in Canada. It's where I ordered my Aura H2O. ordered it on Thanksgiving and it arrived on Sunday.

Excellent. I feel silly for not checking the white model, I saw "Sold exclusively in stores." while on the black model and moved on. I didn't know they were shipped that fast but that's great. Thanks for looking out.
