ASUS R2H available next week in U.S. and Canada?

At last I’m seeing information about availability of the ASUS R2H in U.S. and Canada.

Funnily enough the info came to me through a Google Adsense ad.

The model number you’re looking for in the U.S. and Canada is R2H-BH059T and its appearing on a number of websites now for between $950 and $999.

According to one ASUS retailer, ProPortable, you should see these shipping next week with the same spec as the German model (GPS, Bluetooth, webcam, 768MB/60GB.) I’m waiting for final confirmation on expected ship dates.

[update: The first shipment has already gone out. Apparently there is a lot of interest in them. Thanks to ProPortable for the feedback.]

There is still no info about the product on the ASUS website (ASUS, do you have a PR group or are you just relying on bloggers?) but there is a list of suppliers you might want to check out here.

Specifications and more R2H news here.

My first impressions.
