    So who has actually preordered and from where? And 16/32/64 GB option?

    I have BestBuy loaded for the 32 GB and ready to go... just haven't hit the BUY button yet even though my resolve to wait is fast fading. (Just spent $850 on my dog's vet bill yesterday, so trying to mentally recover from that.)

    I ordered at Best Buy, but in store. Is better than order it via internet, at least here in Puerto Rico, cause the store is near my home. $50 deposit for pre-order, 16gb version... they didn't know about the pre-sale til I ask for it and they just receive the email from Best Buy central.

    16GB model for pick up at a store near me. Will do hands on for a couple of days then return to them via their liberal return policy. Will then decide if I want to purchase again or go with 32/64GB model.

    Not preordering just yet as I have several good leads on local stores that may have it next week. Will be first in line at the door.

    If you're lucky they will not have heard about you and won't ban you from the store until 2012. If it will help, my silence can be bought.

    64GB from Staples, to be delivered to my office. The order said it would come by Staples courrier. We get daily courrier deliveries from Staples at my company as they are our office supplies supplier.

    Because we're impatient children and just can't wait for Christmas morning to open our presents.

    I don't understand all the skepticism.

    I had faith in RIM the whole time.

    Got my order in for two 64gb units plus I have another that i will get from work. And for the person that said that staples will be shipping in a week or two I would not hold them to that, last I checked all per orders will not ship till the week before the 18th.

    I guess my question is why preorder when you've made up your mind to take it back.

    I was about to pre-order and then I saw the estimated delivery of April 22. I highly doubt the PB is on the level of iPad so I can just go to the store the morning of release and pick one up. Why wait 2 extra days when I'm 10 minutes from my nearest Best Buy/Future Shop.

    Actually I was being sarcastic, in light of my skepticism lately of rim's launch.

    As for staples, I'm thinking if they garauntee delivery by 3/31 then I would preorder; what is that, 9 days from now, next Thursday? I would wait till then but I will wait and make phone calls starting next Sunday and see who gets it in stock first. Thanks to rim's lack of media and marketing presence, none of us have to be worried about these being sold out of inventory fast.

    Saying that without judgement by the way.

    Staples gives themselves an out here:

    "Pre-order your Blackberry Playbook by April 8th, 2011 to reserve one of these limited quantity tablets. Product will ship within 3 business days of receiving it from the vendor. Expected delivery: 1 - 3 business days. Your credit card will be charged at shipment."

    At any rate... the PB is on its way and that IS exciting news!
