Delivery date is Feb. 20th, and is coming from China. Didn't get anything custom, just ordered the straight 1.8/SSD (that is, no iLife install or anything like that). Ordered via Apple Enterprise. Left it at the usual shipping option (referred to as "Bestway"); it's coming via FedEx.
Got a tip for us?

Update: I chose the standard delivery option (free). The status now shows delivery date Feb 20, by 10:30 a.m.
Bam, in NJ! Should beat the delivery date, and get here on the 18th.
I'm jealous. I ordered on the same day as you (same configuration) and ours shipped at the same time. But even though I live in Montana (closer to AK) yours has arrived in New Jersey but mine only says "International shipment release" in Anchorage, AK! Must be patient, must be patient...
You guys are going to love it when it arrives. I have had mine now since noon yesterday and I still look at it in amazement. As quick or quicker than I would have thought and just so sexy baby !!!!!
Unfortunately, I don't think FedEx works like that (closer = quicker). All FedEx pkgs are routed through their hub, which I think is in Memphis, TN. That is likely why the NJ pkg was del'd sooner.
New bag!
Since all my bags are just too big (in general, and too big for the Air) I treated myself to a new Booq bag. Always wanted one of their bags...
For the past two years or so, I've been using both an Oakley (love 'em) AP Computer Bag. It's on the large size, can withstand absolutely any abuse, and is a great overnight/2-night bag.
In addition, the free bag I got at GameFest 2007 turned out to be a surprisingly great bag. Smaller than the Oakley, thin, and about as wide. No-name manufacturer, but it stands up to a lot and is very functional.
Anyway! I picked up a Boa Slimcase S90, their smallest bag. So far, this might be the greatest bag ever. Incredibly small and thin, yet has a cavernous interior - plenty of room for the Air, books/paperwork, plenty of gadgets, lunch, big headphones and a camera. The fit and finish is superb - it has one of the greatest features I've seen on any bag: magnetic pocket closures! It's a subtle feature, but very welcome.
Definitely recommended! =D

Any updates to the Amazon orders? I ordered mine on 1-23-08, with a dilery date of 3-25-08. It is the 1.8/SSD variant.
The status now shows: At local FedEx facility as of 7:09 AM on February 18. The delivery date is still February 20 by 10:30 AM.
I just called FedEx to see if I can pick it up, but was told to call the IP Direct Distribution department after 8:00 AM. I am going to give them a call in 15 min to see if I can pick up my MBA two days before the scheduled delivery.
I was waiting for the IP Direct Distribution department to open at 8:00 AM Central to call and see if I could pick my Macbook Air up, but they have just delivered it to my house -- 2 days earlier than they said they would.
Last post in this thread. I am typing this on my new Macbook Air! The workmanship of this product is amazing! It's made in China, but it is a quality product for sure.
I was able to connect it to my wireless network in no time (except that the setup assistant couldn't connect it). I was also able to get to my Infrant ReadyNAS without any additional configuration. So, I have access to all of my centrally stored files. I have also installed MS Office 2008, which took about 15 min to install. Finally, I have installed all of the Mac OS X updates.
It HEAR AND IT IS T-H-I-N !!!!!!!!

Apple Micro-DVI to Video Adapter?
I got my Macbook Air a few days ago and have been loving it! Its just plain awesome.
I do have a question though: I thought that the Apple Micro-DVI to Video Adapter (containing s-video and composite outputs) was supposed to come with it? I have the DVI and VGA adaptors, but to composite/s-video. Anyone else?
