Keep in mind that enTourage currently has to order fixed quantities of each colour weeks ahead of time - mostly of the dark blue, of course, but still fixed. They're still starting up and don't have a steady shipment of units coming from the manufacturer into the warehouse.

Having to order ahead of time means you have to pick and choose quantities, and you can't order tons and tons because you have to mind your cashflow, right?

This means that depending on the number of orders for a given colour, a colour can sell out sooner than others. And it sounds like red has become more popular than enTourage anticipated. I would expect the April 5 shipment should cover these sell-outs from this batch.

I don't know when, but eventually I would think enTourage will be able to set up a continuous supply of units from the manufacturer, and we'll be into the happy days of "order today, ships tomorrow, arrives the next day" bliss :-)

Meanwhile, having gone through this myself in February, I do suggest patience - your unit will come, and you'll be happy with it when it does!
