Same. I keep getting excited every time I see a delivery van outside, only to inevitably be disappointed when it drives away without visiting me...

Ill give you all another six weeks and still bet you won't see it. Nokia = let down.

I think it would have been smart to make the 2520 and the Surface devices with the same type/touch cover compatibility. Would save a lot of headaches in the long run.

Did she only mean yours in particular? If not, you may have saved me a call later this evening.

Waiting 6 weeks for a keyboard that adds one and a half pounds to the device =fail. If it didn't have LTE capabilities it should not even be considered an alternative to the Surface tablets.

I take it you don't have a 2520.

It was inevitable that a thread like this would attract people going "this is stupid, we never needed the thing to begin with, and in fact, it actually sucks!".

Relax people. I called the hotline (1.877.906.6542) and can let you all know that they will start shipping out by mid to late January. I'd advise calling them then so they can provide tracking info. You can also call them to confirm that your documents have been received and you are eligible.

Maybe it is their way of justifying missing of the window of opportunity to get a free keyboard or just plain jealousy.

Can I assume that for those of us who dent get the free deal it will be available in stores at that time too?

Why would people complain about waiting for something they didn't pay for.

There are a number of us who picked the 2520 over the Surface 2 because of the keyboard package offer. So it isn't free...it is part of what I bought that hasn't came yet and I'm getting pretty tired of waiting. My 2520 has barely left my house because I need my keyboard/case! (and no I'm not buying something while I wait!)

[rbiasca]

I can't wait for mine either I'm just trying to be patient. Mine definitely is in a backpack if out of the house! Also my kids can't touch it until the case gets here.

[RodimusMajor]

I can't wait, too. I'm hoping mine comes before the end of the month, and thus the end of winter break. I used it at school last semester even without the keyboard, but it was pretty aggravating to have to constantly wipe off the screen. I can't wait for a chance to use it for schoolwork WITH the keyboard. I can finally be as productive as my classmates with Surfaces, haha.

For real? Many of them have Surfaces? I have the Surface RT too (going to sell once I get my power keyboard) and have only seen a few others with one.

Oh, yeah, lots of them! Ever since the Surface 2's release, I've been seeing them all over Baruch. I'm not sure how many of them are actually the 2 (I know at least a couple of my friends have the RT), but it doesn't seem like a coincidence that I started seeing them more after the release of the new one. My political psych professor had a Surface 2 also. I'm basically the one hipster who has a 2520 instead, lol.

I find the 2520 more of a tablet experience then the Rt or Surface 2. I like it tough. Its lighter, fast, and awesome. Your Surface 2 buddies said anytime to you yet about it?

[GizmoEV]

When I called today to verify that my materials had been received I was told that the keyboard should ship in 2-3 weeks.

That's exactly why I went for it, haha. I definitely appreciate the lighter and handier design, in spite of the lack of a kick stand. The keyboard will mitigate that once it comes anyway. And yeah, my professor who has the Surface 2 said he loved the design of the 2520 and thought that the lack of a USB port outside the keyboard was the only real flaw.

Just got off the phone with them. Still looking at shipment most likely at the end of January. Also, the color of the keyboard is supposedly going to be black.

Sounds about right. Did they give an approximate date? And I had a feeling it'd be black-- frankly, after the long wait, I'm more happy just to have the thing. Though I admit I'd have really liked having the red...

[JaimitoFrog]

A thread on who got them makes more sense,
