Mine's all setup, personalized and cozy. If you have another Windows 8 machine all your settings just sync. It's sweet. Now to give this thing some real attention. -joe-

Mine is about 50 miles away (in Tampa) just waiting. Supposed to be here by 1030 tomorrow. Odd thing is it's still "In Process" on the store and I haven't been charged for it yet. Go figure. -joe-

Heh. Yeah, but you gotta admit, MD-Walkmans were freakin' cool. As a matter of fact, I dragged mine out about a month ago (just because I "found" it) and played it. God that thing sounded fantastic. Actually better than any iPod or iPhone. Back on topic; it'd be cool to be able to sync my Lumia...

Yeah, I think we're all doing the same thing. I called MS Store myself. They gave me the same answer, "it'll be here by the 26th. You should receive an email saying it's shipped either today or tomorrow." Ho hum. We'll see. -joe-

Yup, same here. "In Process". Ordered day one, hour one. -joe-

Hehe. Yup, the good old "BSOD". Good catch. And good on ya hnupe3. I hope for those of us that ordered we get them the same day. -joe-

Man we need some serious spam control in here. Sheesh. -joe-

You are exactly right (of course). It normally is one word. I just split it because it "flows" better in a sig. ;P Thought Experiment -joe-

To continue J515OP's train of thought. By creating a correctly written app for Windows 8 (i.e. Metro or whatever Microsoft is calling it now) it should be extremely easy to port it to all versions of Windows 8 (Pro, RT and Windows Phone 8). That's massive. If they really pull it off it'll push...

The few people that have actually touched the Touch Cover and used it a bit say it's pretty good. They all seem to agree you can type faster on it than the onscreen keyboard. As far as the Type Cover, I haven't seen anything specific about how it feels (other than what was said at the Keynote)...

Agree with J515OP. This is a Microsoft device. Therefore it should be the same as a Signature Device. No bloat or crap ware. Thank the lord! -joe-

The problem is that about 90 percent of the information on both of these products is speculation. Microsoft has been so tight-lipped about them it's crazy. I mean even when they did the release they wouldn't let the press hold them for more than a few minutes. They couldn't even touch them...
