However, I will report back as / if and when I get something back from someone who knows the actual pricing info.
As for the website not showing the pre-order page. No idea about that, and I would not want to speculate. What I can say is that if I go to the devices page, I can click on the Aura H2O and I see the new pre-order page, which I didn't previously (just saw the coming soon sticker).

From where I sit, the pre-order button worked at 7:30AM PDT. On the other hand, the page said pre-orders start Sept. 2nd. I suspect someone has been busily fixing up issues since go live hit.
OTOH -- up to three hands now --, I preordered the Aura H2O from Chapters/Indigo last week and 4 of the 5 retailers I checked showed a live pre-order link on their webpages that led me to a page that let me order with a warning that shipments would start around Oct. 1st.
I'm just wondering about the back from looking at the images on the website, it looks much like the Aura HD's back but with the center being smoother without the sharp line in the center but an odd upper looking right corner (looking at the back view). Not sure if the freckled appearance means it has more of a grip than the Aura HD.
