Annoyingly, and if you can believe it, my HS10 is still on backorder from J&R. Normally I would have cancelled my order by now and ordered a Japanese version (which seem to not have availability problems), but I got a really good price (compared to what you find now), and rumors are that Sony will be able to clear their backlog by June (which means I should be a lot earlier than that since I've had an order in for so long).
However, I spoke with one of Tony's friends and he bought one off eBay that day and should have it by now. Maybe Tony can convince him to hop on here and post some comments ....
