The Panasonic GF3 (including the pink one shown above) is available for pre-order at B&H Photo, which usually means it should be in stock any day now. For now, the GF3 w/ 14mm f/2.8 lens kits are the only ones available. However, you should probably expect the body-only and 14-42mm kits to be available soon as well.
Full listings are here at B&H Photo.
