Same here.  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?
