Id advise wait the extra few weeks for the 3GS version in case you ever want live browsing for anything. Would be well worth the extra $100.
Not out in the UK yet at all, expected to be end of this month (they will only announce it the day before) and both versions out on the same day.
No doubt I could be forced to get one

There is a real slimline soft case apple are selling that looks just the job also.

Did you send that '58' C&S? I sent the others to you.
