i also ordered on the 16th ($75 off, too), but they (letstalk) required some more information to verify me, likely because i failed their insane questions about my life.
why they need all this information is beyond me. apparently its credit check stuff for cell phones, but the 810 isnt a cell phone. my valid CC and billing address should have been enough.

regardless, i finally got ahold of someone on the phone today. the nice lady on the line said that her supervisor told her they couldnt ship to outside the US. i kindly informed her that ALASKA was indeed a state, but she insisted it couldnt be shipped here. i cancelled the order.
ten minutes later, i get a call from the lady stating they COULD ship to AK. woo.
so my order is confirmed, but its listed as backordered.
the estimated ship date is nov 27.
