Default United 787 Delivery??

Does anybody happen to know when the first United Continental 787 is supposed to be delivered? I heard sometime in the first quarter, but haven't heard exactly when. Just asking for personal interest.

Speaking of 787's, this one did an 18 hour domestic flight... drawing 787 and the Boeing logo across thousands of miles west of the Mississippi.

Boeing said we'd get our first one in 2009. I'm not flying it, I'll wait until the bugs are fixed.

Trivia Question:

Is it a 787-822 or -824?

I'd guess 824 as CO originally placed the order, but I could be wrong.
