I don't know what happened to this product, guess I'm still an invitee. Anyway I recently discovered the handsfree "Hey Siri" thing in iOS 8. Here's how to enable it. I'm sure the speaker on the Amazon Echo would be far superior to my iPad's built-in speaker, but the functionality seems otherwise similar. If the Echo had been available before I discovered this new feature, I would have bought it. Now I'm less interested.

I just received an invitation to order it, which I've done. Estimated delivery is February 23rd.

Ours is due January 20, but not sure I will have time to look at it until early February.

I ordered mine as well. I use the Hey Siri feature all the time at home - mostly to do things simple things such as setting alarms and reminders and getting a view of my calendar while i am in bed but the echo looks compelling because of the music feature that will connect to amazon prime music.

I should have pushed the button faster.

Estimated delivery: April 30, 2015

Maybe if they'd introduced the Fire Phone this way, they would've sold more of them :D

I received an invite, but a ship time of may. I'll pass.

Just got mine - impressed by packaging and instructions. Will set up shortly.

Me too. It said May to July. I am not sure I want to order something that won't get here in half a year....

Hopefully its an under promise, overperform estimate.

Received invite to order email 01/13/15. Ordered one with delivery date:

Wednesday, May 27, 2015 - Thursday, July 2, 2015

I ordered mine about a week ago. I should get it mid Feb.

Amazon must be monitoring my posts ;) . New ETA is 2.4.2015.

I just checked mine a few minutes ago (was actually looking to see if I could pay for the thing with AmEx points instead), and the date is still 2/23.

We'll see . . .

Mine is due sometime in May.

Mine is due in June-July; I hope they will have worked out the problems by then...
