Well, I went ahead and contacted the one person I feel is reliable. He's the claims dept rep I spoke with a couple of times last week. As before, he was cool and certainly more detailed than any of the sales reps I've spoken with. The latest info he has as of last night is that there is some "problem". He didn't know if it was just manufacturing quantities, some technical issue or what. But, whatever it is has caused availability to slip.

As of now, the only info they have is "mid-December". He said there is no specific date and, as such, phone reps shouldn't be giving any out. He apologized for the delay again.

Well, I guess this dashes hopes of a December 1st release...
