MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo Production Stopped: An Update

Following our previous news, leading to numerous reports sent to us by users waiting for their MBP, we have collected additional information from our sources; and we think to have tracked most of the story down.
The main problem is linked to a quality issue with "Matte" LCD panels. It would affect both 15" and 17" models, and a large part of the production lot 9C62 (17") and 9C56 (15") of LCD panel are defective even if it does not involve all panels.
Currently, large distributors are advising Apple resellers to promote glossy LCD panel-based MBP, as it is already the case on the Apple Store. Only glossy-based display notebook can be shipped on time for Christmas.
There is also a problem concerning a BTO : 120GB HD 7200 rpm; current stock is running low and Apple is waiting for additional supply.
Most users having either a matte LCD display-based MBP or chosen the 120GB BTO have probably received an email from Apple informing them about a delay for shipping their order (at least one week). The priority orders are shipping, so manufacturing of MBP is running again, but the current stock of matte display will be insufficient to ensure production of all purchased MBP with this feature for Christmas time.
