Ok, well I've just got off the phone to Argos (UK), and after them confirming delivery of my Touch a few days ago as the 2nd Oct (a woman actually said "yes, that will be delivered on the 2nd") The customer service woman told me today that they are on preorder as they are 'not released yet' and will be delivered in the next 10 days. I for one didn't see the word Preorder anywhere, and I have a confirmation email, confirming the delivery date as the 2nd. I'll definitely be cancelling my order, and kicking up a fuss.
