Sorry to hear about your wait. Someone on the Entourage forum posted that they just ordered one to Canada and it did in fact arrive next day. I wonder whether the difference in delivery times had to do with the colour choice (yours and theirs) or whether they just happened to use up the last of their stock. I know the last batch of product they received had a slight hold up at customs coming into the US. It sounds like they've had more orders than they expected.

I waited weeks with no information whatsoever when I ordered a Fujitsu Tablet PC to Canada (the only way you could get them at the time was special order), and I had preordered my edge back in 2009, so I know how much it sucks to wait for electronics. All the worse because you expected it to come quickly. I know in the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal, but at the time it feels like everything!

In the mean time, you can always (if you haven't already) convert things to PDF to get them ready to load onto your edge. I found out that the edge didn't like to load files that had punctuation/symbols in their names, and a lot of my files were downloads from website of the format "Article title (perhaps with punctuation) | or -- or / Website name." So, if you have files you want to load, you can always start by cleaning up formats/file names. You can also checkout online book stores/websites for content you will want.

Also, it seems that some SD cards work with the edge and some don't, so you could check out the list in the entourage forums to make sure you're not trying to use one that doesn't. You can also look at some of the 3rd party penabled pens or keyboards that work with the edge, if you think you'll want to use one of them with the device.

Lastly, Gelaskins should be coming out for the edge in May according to an announcement today, so you can always waste a bunch of time on that site looking for a skin you like. Or, look for a sleeve/carrying case.

I'm sure you know all that stuff, but just a friendly "here's what you can do to prepare for your edge and pass the time" reminder to all! I know while mine was out of commission for a bit, it was frustrating to read about the new apps people were adding and to not be able to try them out myself (you really do need the device for that). But, there was a bunch of other stuff I could do in the mean time.
