Sony Ericsson Z500

There's plenty of rumor as to when we will see the z500a available, most people are saying the week of Thanksgiving. But is there anyone out there with good insight as to when we will see this model coming, like what day if someone knows?

Also, by what means should someone order this phone...calling Cingular, going to a store, or online, what might be the fastest way when it's finally released?
