    Apparently zipzoomfly.com has the W3J in stock. I don't know how that's possible as Asus Fremont still hasn't received the shipment of them. Here's a link to see for yourself: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=262520

    I myself have placed an order through PROPortable and tend to keep that because they offer an asus extended warranty. Also they seem to know more about Asus since they specialize in selling them.

    According to another thread, it was said the ZZF cannot/is not able to change that "In Stock" word, so in order for them to sell pre-orders, on the site it will show "In Stock". However ZZF DOES NOT HAVE THEM.

    ZZF will not be any faster or slower than any other Seller. I know ya'll waited erxtremely patiently, but it still gonna be around the end of May or early June before they reach our houses.

    :( :(

    Thanks,

    Yeah, actually, zipzoomfly doesn't have them in stock. I called them, and they said "no." They're the second company I've seen do that, where the website says it's in stock even though it's not. The other company I've seen do that is Datavision. I think that is terrible business practice. I'm glad we have people like Justin @ Proportable that have good business ethics.
