You think that's bad, I ordered one on the 10th of march from redstore,
that was showing a 3-5 day. They still haven't despatched the unit and I
have been trying to call them now (on their 0870 number) for about a
week, during the past 3 weeks I have been sending them email after email
that hasn't been responded to.

Oh Balls! Didn't know that. Broadbandbuyer have them lsited as entering
stock on the 25th of May, I'd order one if I knew that I could cancel
the redstore one.

£49.45 + VAT at broadbandbuyer.co.uk  or 78 euros from someone on ebay
in the netherlands.

I'd be interested in a similar unit myself, if the price is right
although I'd prefer a network attachable device myself.
