Angry Zumo 660 release date

I've been eagerly awaiting the release of this thing. Been monitoring a few online retailers that used to have the expected release date of April, now they all say July..WTF? Has anybody heard anything about this new release date?

Default ZUMO 660 Shipping Next Week 4/20/09 ???

I ordered my Zumo direct from Garmin on 3/26...

Here is the text of an email I received from them today...

Hi Dennis,

We appreciate your interest in Garmin. When a new unit ships for the first time, there can be occasional delays. The Zumo 660 is expected to begin shipping the week of 4/20/09 for orders that have already been processed. New orders are scheduled to ship the week of 5/6/09 . If your order was placed through the online system, you will receive tracking information via email.

We apologize for the delay and appreciate your continued patience.

Thank you,

I've been waiting patiently for the 660 release not because I'm buying a 660 but because I'm in the market for a 550 where the local dealer told me to wait untill the 660 hits their shelves for a price drop on the 550...

This was posted on their site the other day in regards to the 660...

"New Release! Estimated ship date: 2009-04-29.
Pre-order now to be first in the queue. Credit cards are NOT charged until item ships, and you may cancel at anytime prior to your order being shipped."

If it turns out to be July....

Gps is getting hard to live without. I like to use the POI features when searching for hotels, eats and certian places to stop.

Seriously, the original (chunky) Zumo's prices defy gravity. The all-you-need-and-nothing-more 450 was down to around $350 at Amazon and Costco a while back, and now they're over $600 again. I'm hoping the 660's release drops prices on the old models. I do like HD's fairing mount for those.
