    It was the 17th, but it looks like there's been a delay, so it's now the 24th. Hopefully on the 24th it won't be bumped to the 31st.

    It's the 24th. It's going to be the SZ Premium. I think it weights 3.7 lbs which is about half the weight of my VAIO FS.

    But you might want to wait around until it hits Amazon and retail stores to get a better price.

    I'm sure the SZ will be available everywhere in another month or two.

    I think those are going to be the WAN enabled models.

    I checked out the specs for the SZ160P/C and it's 3.7lbs

    But Cingular sucks anyway and you can always get a PCMCIA card from Verizon for wireless broadband later on.
