Same boat. I would love the 3G Touch!

I think it's just a matter of numbers. Amazon simply can't manufacture enough in time for a full international release. And they probably decided there would be more demand for the el cheapo model.

Hopefully there is a change between now and the shipping date for the US buyers. I reckon there's a fair chance we can get them down under close to Christmas (though probably on the wrong side of Christmas).

Good work calling Dick Smiths. This is the first batch of new Kindles since they became available in shops here, so I'm interested to know how long it will take before the new ones arrive in shops.
