"Hi Mark
Apologies for the delay, we've been trying our best to get hold of the suppliers of these.
Here's the short version - there was a delay in manufacturing hence the date being pushed back to end of January. From the shipment of 50 expected only 10 arrived for the whole of Europe - we managed to get 2 of these, which both went out yesterday. The supplier here found out last night that some more of these making their way to Europe in about 6 days, fortunately although their factory said there were only 10 they found that there were in fact more on the ship.
We are told that we will get 3 more Nano's in 7-10 days. I'll make sure that you get one of those 3, we do have a lot of backorders but I'll tell the warehouse to put you top of the list.
I'll get them to send out a freebie or two for you too as a gesture."
Oh well, at least I will be in the next batch and will probably get a free plectrum
