it's fantasy so far, and inaccurate as can be (radiomir text in a non-radiomir case), but yet is quite appealing.
hate to say it, but i've been thinking about getting one myself, if only to mess around with or do a project.
as far as the email bit, it could be as simple as that your dealer could just be busy. since the package is possibly lost/held up in customs/whatever there is nothing that really can be done right now but wait. it totally sucks, but that's what you are dealing with as of now.
best of luck
