I just picked up a black 600 from the Dallas Galleria store. I have been calling once a day to check stock as you well know by now. The salesman answered that yes he did have some in stock and he had in fact sold two already. I asked him to confirm with the manager. They confirmed and said they would hold one for me as i drove over.

So I got the unit and looked at the packaging. The package had been opened and re-sealed. There were large white circles over the smaller original circles that show the package to be unopened. The salesman could not tell me what was changed or added. He did confirm that they were the original units that were held earlier.

I have the book charging now and cannot wait to use it in the AM. By a happy coincidence, my cover came via fedex today. Brown cover, black device. OK I guess.

P.S. It performed a firmware update as soon as I connected it.
