When will Panny Lumix DMC-GH3 finally start selling?

GH3 is still on back-order, Panasonic U.S. web site lists it as on "Pre-Order." It also states that the shipping date as being 28 January, although when I called them about it today, the chap I talked with said "sometime in February."

So, that sounds to me like March or maybe even April. Two questions:

1. Does anyone here actually HAVE the Panasonic GH3? Or seen it? In other words, was Panasonic actually SELLING this DMC-GH3 camera before now, and if so, why did they withdraw it from the market?

2. Related to Q1 above, what is really WRONG with the GH3 camera that Panasonic is not selling it, since I understand they were supposed to have started selling it in late November last year.

I just love these camera manufacturers and their totally worthless press releases and announcements about availability dates and whatnot. They are worth less than the wayward electrons on my computer screen.
