Yep, that's right. I bit the bullet, pulled the trigger, gave it a shot, took the plunge, took the risk, etc, etc, etc...
I've been eye-ballin' the 5500 series for a while now, and after seeing threads about the rotting banana looking ones and such, I just had to get me one. However, the one I'm getting is the all-black one with the grey buttons and has the solar/atomic feature. I bid on it at the very last second and won it for a song, even including shipping! :-!
The only thing I'm worried about is the fact that it's coming straight from Japan. I hope it doesn't run into any issues on its way here to Florida, like sliding off of one of those container ships and sink to the bottom of the ocean, or get held up in customs for weeks, or display everyting in Japanese... I'm kidding of course. :-d
Seriously though, I wonder how long it's going to take to get here. I can't wait!
Here's a pic of it from the eBay auction...
