Does anybody know where I can find a new T60 with a 15" Flexview in stock? Preferably SXGA+

You might try www.costcentral.com

Thanks - I forgot about that place. I just ordered one. Their page says they're in stock, I hope it's correct.

You had said you wanted a 15" flexview and found one on CostCentral. I just checked and only saw 15.4" units. Did you actually find a 15" flexview?
thanks,

I'm guessing he picked up a 200773U from there...that's the only 15" FlexView T60 I could find in stock (31 left, their website says). Has the X1400.
They also claim stock on a real oddball model, 200701U, which has a slow-ish 1.66GHz processor in it but sells (with a SXGA+ FlexView and X1400 graphics) for $1,250 (!). However, their stock indicator only says "will ship in 2-3 weeks," and every other web site out there lists it as not in stock.

I ordered the 200701U - the oddball. CPU speed isn't important for this system, but the guy who's going to be using it has older eyes and I didn't want to punish him with a T61 display. The two that I've seen has been pretty bad.
15" SXGA+ Flexview should be just right for him. 1GB ram and 120GB HD is nice too - and a pretty good price. I can get EPP from Lenovo, but even with that I'd rather get this T60 from a reseller since Flexview isn't available from IBM/Lenovo anymore.

They seem to offer 3 warranty but no details about it. Thoughts?
In addition to that.. you can buy
Lenovo ThinkPlus
Extended service agreement - parts and labor - 3 years - on-site - 9x5 - NBD
Is this IBM / Lenovo warranty or something else?

Well, I wish you luck on that order Ron. 
The "more sure" bet would probably be the 200773U only because they give actual live stock results for that model where the 01U has the nebulous-sounding "it's in stock but we won't tell you how many we have, and oh you'll have to wait up to three weeks" stock info. 
However, it's $400 more or so, so the 01U might be worth the gamble...
$1,250 is sure a good price for a brand-new FlexView model, I'll give you that.
