Wellp, I went to the apple store today and picked up my brand new i7 17" MBP ^___^ it's been too long overdue.
Further more, Apple customer service lied to me. I used the web chat thing on Apple's website, and asked whether I would be able to pick up a 17" with custom options (i.e. screen, i7 as opposed to i5, hard drive upgrade) at the retail store. In fact I asked two CS representatives, and they both told me a resounding "NO" I'd have to order it online or by phone, they said. Well, I called the apple store and lo and behold they had just the spec I wanted in stock. (Although I don't know about hard drives, I only wanted the base version since I'm going to upgrade on my own)
Yeah, I called my local Apple Store and they told me they had limited number of 17" Core i7 MBP but unfortunately for me they were of the anti-glare variety and I want a glossy screen. So it looks like I'll be waiting for another day to see if tomorrow's shipment brings me 17" Core i7 glossy joy.
Hasn't anyone else on this forum posted pictures yet? Or I guess everyone here just wanted to order online, eh?

If you did not get the hi-res display, you will be introduced to buyers remorse in a big way...Walked into the Jacksonville Apple store and they had the new i7 MBP. 20 minutes later, I was driving home with it!
