The dealer in this area told me that he'd be getting 12 Portfolios. He didn't say *when*, though. When, exactly, can we expect them to arrive? I don't want to keep trekking over to the dealer only to find they haven't arrived yet! On a different note: If you really squeeze your fingers together, can you do "10 finger typing" on the Portfolio? If yes, I will probably get one. If not, I probably won't... If you can't do the above, I think it would be a shame. I wouldn't think that much more space/resources would be needed to have a "usable" QWERTY keyboard. In fact, I'd rather have a $499 Portfolio with usable keyboard than a $399 Portfolio that can only be used with two fingers. Does anybody have similar feelings?
