    This is quite odd

    Killer deal for a Sony, IMO. Why doesn't SONY let your buy it if it's out of stock? Why don't they backorder

    I'm fairly sure Sony has backorder. I've seen the orange backorder button before.

    yes, I believe they do backorder. They are simply in the habit of messing up their own homepage every few weeks, just to keep things interesting.

    Keep in mind that that HD is only 4200 rpms. You might want to consider going for one of the smaller models to get the higher rpm.

    why the heck sony style doesn't allow me to choose a black keyboard with the intel GMA X1300 for the fz-190 CTO?

    No that's not the case. The black keyboard option is available if you choose nvidia graphics card. That's ridiculous.

    Here in Sweden the FZ´s not even avaliable yet on Sonystyle! Thats´s sick.
    And if and when it comes we probably can´t configure it the way we really wan´t it!
    There is however like 3 models out of the FZ on other independent stores here.
    Nun of them for example have the Blu-Ray drive or higher cpu then 1,8Ghz!

    The Nvidia graphics card is a different motherboard. It's quite possible that the keyboards are already on the CTO units and they just add RAM and HDD options that you choose. So they probably have different combinations of Motherboard+keyboard. And they happen to be out of black+integrated graphics. Just wait a few days...
