    It finally is there without any announcement on the introduction page. A few months before I was really looking forward to it, but the weight difference makes me wait for the V1J.

    The W1J should have been released in Europe already, however it hasn't been yet. I wouldn't be surprised to see it launched somewhere midway/end of July.

    I want it. Aside from a smaller screen and the taking away of two speakers, I don't see much of a difference from the W2J...I wonder how the price will be.

    Ain't coming to States before(W1n, W1v, W1vc) and it probrably still won't.

    Though there may be a chance it could be released in Canada(The W1n did, though the W1v/c did not)

    IT wont be coming to the US. it would be the same price if not more than a w2j. and it weighs the same as a w2j. 3.2k is the weight. the v1j should be about 5.8lbs

    the W1JC is exactly the same price as a W2JB. It's 250€ cheaper than the W2JC. I dunno the pricin of the W1JB as it is not available here.
