Sorry I didn't have time to go thru the thread, but did you guys tried to order thru the n-series.com website ?
The first page (in the N810 product page) asks you for an e-mail "to be the first to know when it becomes available", but if you go to "How to buy" and follow the North America->US store, you'll be able to order it.
I could've go thru the whole process, but of course I don't want to order it in the US but it didn't say it wasn't available.
Plus it was giving a 2-day shipping (FedEx or UPS) for free.
What was the point of the discount? How does this help developers if they can't get their hands on it until weeks after its release and the first major update?
Do you think it is more of a means to stifle you guys until after a launch?
