    I know a lot of people were waiting for the camera, so there you go. I'm calling Lenovo right now to get it added to my order.

    I called up and got the camera added to my order. The CSR couldn't modify my order for some reason but just cancelled that order and created a new order.

    June 7th, eh? That's the date for mine, too, which I ordered two days ago without a camera (despite the date on the order confirmation being June 1st). And mine's still "In Process", whatever that means. I'm beginning to fear we're going to see a repeat of the disaster that was ordering a T60 when they first came out.

    Does anybody notice that ImpactPlayer's order reads that his Tpad has a 14.2 screen
    "42X1671 SBB 14.2"WXGA+TFT,W/ CAMERA" !!!!!!!

    I just ordered mine w/ camera on 5/22/07 and it reads the same thing. Any ideas if this is the same samsung lcd that i assume to be getting?

    Damnit, this sucks. I presume it's easy to get them to change your order to get this added on? I ordered mine on Sunday (May 20th), the day before they put this on, it seems.

    i think you can without having to rebook you order. The rep that i talked to told me that my machine had to be cnxled and rebooked because it was an older model (maybe first generation) you may still have a chance to do so If you hurry.
