I thought when the Sonoma chips were announced there would be a whole slew of T43's on IBM's site. As of now there are only two or three, when will we see the rest of the T43 models listed on IBM's site?

You've gotta make sure you have the display out of stock drop down checked. The TABOOK is the best way to get a feel for the T43s right now though.

Like James said, read the FAQ. Pay particular attention to item #16.

i just talked with IBM on the phone. and those laptops are NOT available.
he said they will be in 25 days from now.
So i guess the web site is the place to look and not the TABOOK in this case.

Actually, all the models that have Feb 05 in tabook are available now. IBM just has serious problem with their ETA. When they say 30days wait time, sometime, it means will ship in 2 days.

i don't know what to think now , the guy was very clear about the fact they are not out yet . and they probably need to fix the dates on the web/doc.
i guess i will call again tomorrow.

You will get the same answer again from them.
I and my friend ordered T43 last week with 30 days ETA. Every time I call IBM and ask about the estimated ship date, they always say 30 days, should be shipped out sometime in April.

Both orders were actually shipped couple days later.

My other friend also ordered T43 2 days ago (Yes, was told 30 days wait), and now it's packing and will be shipped out soon.

so from ordering to estimate delivery(if you got) how many days.

thanks !

Online order status always show "call". Whenever I call them, it's "sometime in April".

It took 2 days from the day I called to order for it to ship out.

When will the T43's be out in force on IBM's site?
