I ordered one in Feb, but it's really hard to say when delivery will be.
There's been a huge number of orders over the last year, but also a lot of people have cancelled so it's hard to know where in the queue I am.
I think BFLs current estimates assume a final production rate of 400units/day but it's not clear how accurate this will end up being.

For what it's worth I've just written mine off because it's too much stress constantly waiting for updates. If/when it does arrive I think I'll probably mine some alt-currencies just for fun Tongue

Alt-currencies like litecoin use scrypt that the ASIC is well-suited for..

Yea, can't do scrypt, but most alternate cryptos are sha. I'm mining Freicoin at the moment, and might have play with Bytecoin after that.
I've got some gpu's that i'll move over to scrypt once the hashrate on sha coins goes through the roof.
