B&H just confirmed what Stefan Daniel said about the M8.2: “It will be phased out and we’re clearing stocks”
The Leica M8 is currently selling for $3,499.99 @ Adorama, Amazon and B&H still has the black M8 model in stock for $3,995.00. The price of the Leica M8.2 is still $5,995.00 in Amazon, Adorama and B&H.
Update: there is NO RECALL whatsoever. SH-Photo simply did not want to sell the camera to the prospective buyer as he was form overseas and blamed this on Leica (buyers be aware).
There is currently a thread on dpreview stating that the first batch of ten Leica M9 cameras shipped to a store in Germany were recalled from the factory.

All pre-orders are aways first-come first-served, so plan accordingly.
The video was taken on 09.09.09. More info on the menu navigation and functionality is available on Leica’s M9 mini site.
Luminous-landscape, Reidreviews were sone of the lucky few that had the chance to play with the Leica M9 (and S2, and X1) back in August, before the products were announced. David Farkas was also there and here is his detailed review of the Leica M9 (a must read).
