In the beginning of this year I was very excited to hear Garmin would be releasing the new Garmin 405 and I promptly placed my order with delivery dates expected February 21st and a late date of end of Q1 2008.

Well now Garmin has delayed the release date to the mysterious Q2 2008. It seems they are pushing back the release date to coincide with the 2008 Boston Marathon. Great for marketing, terrible for us early adopters who need to receive the first shipment of running gear.

Garmin has decided to appease us with new shots of the display of the Garmin 405 and this did not help. It only made me wish I had this yesterday.

UPDATE ON 04/29/08 – See my post on delivery
