Hey Mookie - I also put in an order for a DR1000S - and I'm still waiting. I put it in to ERO last week and they couldn't tell me anything about delivery dates either - and they gots me money too.
It's a huge chunk of change for me especially since the exchange rate sucks for CAD to USD. Oh well.
I'm a patient person - I just don't like waiting.
Just take comfort that you're not the only one in the boat... Blub... Blub...
