My guess is that they never got any in stock and simply changed the status from pre-order to back ordered the moment that part of the US hit the supposed launch date. I say this because the pink 350 that I ordered has mimicked the 650's (went from pre-order straight to back ordered with no change to my order status) and surely the demand for the pink 350 wouldn't have been high enough for them to sell through all of their stock if they ever had any to begin with.

Its pure speculation, but I am starting to wonder if something went seriously wrong on the 650 production line. After all, dozens of people have been posting about their 350s for about a week now, all around the world. I would somewhat prefer the 650, but if Sony does not start giving some kind of clear indication of when they will be available, I may just opt to get the cheaper 350 instead.

I would think that it's a supply issue, after all, Amazon only recently launched their K3's which use the same six inch Pearl screen that the 650's use. Amazon doesn't use the five inch Pearl screen which is likely why the 350's have been the most common.
