I ordered another one on Saturday as it now offers next day dispatch:
But only the 64GB version.
They claim it will be here on Wednesday.

Interesting - the one I ordered was a 32GB version, the email says the estimated delivery date is the 13th, with a revised date of the 20th, though when checking the tracking on it, it appears it was shipped from China this morning. Fingers crossed it's here this week
Tell me about it. Ive just been on the phone with them for the past 30 mins being passed from person to person having to explain the same thing to 4 different people even though it is apparently on my customer notes and each person after I explained said oh yes I can see it on your notes grrrrrr
I have been promised a delivery date before the 24th of this month. If I don't get it before or on then I'm not going to be a happy bunny
My boss
Fingers crossed.
Well that didn't last long. Went live at 3:00, Out of Stock my 3:05

They're back! And my boss isn't answering his phone, just need his address
I was assured last week my 64gb would be delivered on the 11th, its still "in production."
I've contacted them today asking why orders that were placed yesterday are promised to be shipped today, but mine which I ordered 2 weeks or more ago is still in production only to be told the bundles are different even though they aren't.
He then checked to say it would still be the 11th, to which I said thats 2 days away and its still in production.
He then said actually it will be the 13th.
I said it that confirmed?
He said "according to current information."
I said so its not confirmed then?
He said we have a lot of orders.
I said I know thats why I ensured I was one of the first to order, and you are delivering to those who ordered last first.
He said every order will be delayed.
I said "Will you tell your website that?"
He said "is there anything else I can help you with?"
I still don't know whether I'm going to get this damn thing or not....

Bumbiscuits, got all the way to the Place Order button and it's throwing up an error. Back to $299 and out of stock on the website so looks like I missed out.
They are only $229 in microcenter in US if you could order from there to boss' house?

I tried getting one on the US site at $99, complete failure.
since yesterday it was showing the 32GB for $299, but the Add to cart button was missing.
10:00:10 $299 no cart button
10:00:50 $199 no cart button
10:02:00 $199 finally cart button is there
so I added 2 to cart then, but decided no to buy, as $199 is not that much of a deal, especially if MS charges you sales tax on top of the price.

In store only. Frankly he has better things to do that pop out and buy me one like carry on berating the moron from HR that he was on the phone to when I was after his address.
$220 inc sales tax and delivery. £135 vs £250 that I'd have to pay in the UK, positively a bargain I thought.
That's fair enough, comparing to $240 for a Nexus 7 it certainly offers a lot more functionality for what I want (i.e. a business tablet) but obviously lacks 100 000 fart apps that you can get on Android
Looks like MS are releasing them in batches and I've got one!
£135 delivered to my bosses house. Now just need to get it to the UK but I think worse case £170-£180 inc VATI don't really care about number of Apps, I use few - Dropbox, VLC, email client, Opera and Titanium for backups.
this runs full W8.1, so apps aren't the problem. I would even pick up Surface RT if they made it like £150 in UK.
I just need something decent to replace my HP Touchpad that is starting to show its age. All I need the tablet to do is browse the web and be able to play/stream videos and won't cost too much.
