I ordered the 3G model (1st August) and had an estimated delivery date of 27th-28th August. The order finally went into the "Dispatching Soon" state on Sunday and has remained there since
Phoned CS this morning and was told that, despite the order status, there is no stock and I'll just have to wait until I receive an email telling me that it's available again.
That completely goes against my understanding of what Amazon's "Dispatching Soon" status means, but thought I'd share this anyway. Ultimately I don't mind waiting; it's the misinformation that frustrates me.
