Update: Amazon.co.jp has sold every XBA-4IP, status has now changed to "out of stock".
 
 
There's another seller that will ship in 4 to 5 days, but they jacked up the price way up to 27,000 Yen.

Anyone know of a guide/pics/video how to disassemble the T51, just if I need to change the battery (I want to be prepared in case 

...)

I'm not familiar with them, but I think most online Japanese stores are reliable.
 
I'd rather support IEM's than cameras, but oh well ^^ I might place my order for the 4SL with mikasacamera too.

Mine just fell off naturally with abuse.

Mikasacamera is selling a Sony speaker for 795,900円, that's over $10,000 USD, and you only get a single speaker I think, so over $20,000 USD for a set of two.

Read somewhere that the Thailand Flood will delay the shipment.  Hope that the launch date is still 10 Nov 2011 in Japan?  Anyone who reads Japanese can verify?  Thanks.

lol I've been lurking in this thread for days, resisting the temptation to jump the gun on a pair of xba3

It seems this article which Haonan cited says the XBA-NC85D, XBA-BT75, XBA-S65, XBA-1IP/SP, XBA-2IP/SP, XBA-3SP and XBA-4SP have been pushed forward to December 10th.
 
 
Another article wrote the Nikon and Sony camera factorties have "no prospect of recovery".
 
Here are some Sony employees turning up for work, before the flooding started:

In more positive news, Sony featured a "headphone tasting" showroom event on level 2 of their headquarters on November 2nd, where you could bring your own devices and music to try any headphone. There may be another one in late December.
