    The demand for the A8js is high here on portugal but hardly anyone has got one.....
    I just got off the phone with a retailer that was supposed to get me one, and he did get a shipment, but they were all 100GB models (they have BT)......

    is there a 120GB version or not? most people who bought one here say that despite the fact that the site mentioned 120GB the model that they got was a 100gb one!!!!!!!!!

    HHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!! :eek:

    I knew a guy in Spain who got the 120GB model, but I'm not sure where he got it from.

    You're worried about 20GB of storage? Umm...I'd trade 20GB for the 7200RPM HDD any day. Just buy an external HDD to store all the media and junk, keep your laptop HDD clutter free.

    Heh yeah I know that - I didnt say that buying in Spain made sense!! (for me, its either ordering from netherlands by laptops4u.nl or from the states through a friend who will forward). Its a huge difference!
