HTC Shift in stock and shipping in the US

Update 3.19: CDMA version ($1499) announced

The HTC Shift that was announced a year ago and that lost much of its momentum many months ago is finally available and shipping in the US.

Eager consumers have been able to pre-order the 40GB UMPC from what used to be Mobile Planet, Build Your UMPC, and other retailers for a while now, but On the Go Solutions is one of the only places that has the $1630 (!) 800MHz Vista machine in stock today. They've even got photos of unopened boxes to prove it.

An informal report about a March 2008 US release was making its rounds a few months ago (Dynamism is expecting their shipment on March 28th), so I guess OTG Solutions just got their shipment a few weeks early. Anyone buying one?
