I did not see that information anywhere else, only here in this forum. My LBS confirmed the information. I'm very excited about that.
The only thing I have read that is different is that the new charger can do everything the SM-PCE1 can do except diagnostic trouble shooting. I don't know how accurate this statement is, just read it in the forums.

I checked their site after seeing your post. They don't have it. Actually they have changed their anticipated arrival date from March to April. I still haven't received my group. The worst part is there are several 9070 groups on E-bay now. That's new and it really sucks. It appears I missed out in this round of Shimano shipping. I hate them.

I agree, it sucks.
I had it on order at one place and fully paid for at another, waiting to see who came up with it first. Neither one had it, but I got lucky at Fairwheel. Funny thing, my paid for group arrived Wed and the place I was just in line at, came in today.
The release is disappointing to say the least. A little here, a little there, not a lot anywhere.

I bought a 7970 group from Shimano (Interbike Special) and it came one piece at a time from all over the country!

Yes, I have the new junction box on both my Ui2 bikes. It does require a firmware update to use though.

My new bike just arrived with 9000 mechanical. I am having a hell of a time setting it up properly for the dual trim. Right now I have it shifting without trim function, but I can't seem to get it perfect.

Couple of questions if I can...
Some websites seem to be indicating that the charger comes with the internal battery, whilst others say it doesn't.
For instance:
http://www.glorycycles.com/shdi2sminba.htmlversus
http://www.bike24.com/1.php?content=8;n ... duct=34979And they are basically the same price. Also with the charger, I seem to be reading differnt information. I believe that you must use the Shimano charger (SM-BCR2) as the junction box has a proprietary fitting?
Finally... is there an easy way to calculate internal cable length needed for the four different cables (to battery, front and rear derailleur and STI junction box). I am guessing the bikes dimensions plus a couple of inches. Or does someone have a better method?
Cheers,
Steno

The battery sm-btr2 is sold sperately from the charger sm-bcr2.
Yes you need the junction box.
For my cables, since routing internally, I estimated long. The extra cable is hidden inside the tubes where they all come together at the internal junction box. Too long doesn't seem to have a disadvantage. I just took rough measurements and gave it a little extra.

9070 is available in Australia now, no internal batteries yet but everything else is OK.I did a comparison on pricing, mechanical against electric, it worked out about $1200 aud wholesale.
