Can you PLEASE take my money for the HoloLens 2?

[Wearables]

Does anyone have any news about HoloLens 2 shipping, what is causing the delays OR any info how to get my hands on one?

 

The device was revealed in February, announced to be released in May, then that it will ship September and here we are well in to October and I can not find any reports of them shipping the device.

 

I work for a Germany based software company that develops for the automotive industry, mostly for Germany but also worldwide. We want to get our hands on the device so we can start some projects we have in mind.

 

I filled out the "preorder request" online form shortly after it was available and received no feedback. After a month and a half of waiting I called them to see whats up and basically redid the "preorder request" but with a customer service person. A couple of weeks after, in May, I did get a call but just to verify the information I gave them but still, no payment information was exchanged at this stage. We were told we will get a call when the device is ready to be shipped.

 

One funny thing did happened during the phone call though... I asked if they had any information of when it will be shipped (at this time MAY was still the official statement) and the woman said quote:"Probably this year but I cannot give you more detailed information" to which I asked if it can be expected this summer to which she literally chuckled and said "no" laughing slightly.

 

I am a longtime LTT fan (since around 2012) but posting for the first time.

 

Cheers!
