Re: Does anyone have MMH on order???
If you're looking for one:
Here's a suggestion, which worked for me. Remember, I'm in Staten Island and the NY metropolitan area may not see new FEH's for 4-7+ months due to the NYC taxi purchases.
There are plenty of these on the West Coast, but due to Ford's insane regional setup the East Coast dealers can't cooperate with their West Coast brethren.
I called the main Ford number 1-800-392-3673, then got forwarded to marketing (yeah, I almost hung up at that point, but it worked so ask for marketing). Once you get to marketing, ask for a mid/senior manager and tell them if you don't get decent information your next call is to Toyota about a Highlander, then ask for inventory for what you are looking for within 500 miles of where you live. Inventory for me was shockingly low, (4 AWD and 2 FWD), but at least it gives you a little negotiating room.
Ford HQ's marketing folks apparently don't care about sales regions.

So I ordered an Ice Blue MMH fwd with NAV system. I'm getting the color I want with the accessories that I want. Now it's just a waiting game.

Good News on the FEH delivery times:
Ordered mine on October 10th. The dealer just called me and said production is scheduled for December 10th. Should have the vehicle delivered 7 - 10 days later.
May get my 2007 tax credit after all.

Just a FYI, I searched eBay, and there was 2-3 New MMH's listed. If they are near you & have same options might save someone a long wait. Nir suggesting buying thru ebay, most dealers will end early for a lot sale. Unless they're greedy and are trying to get over MSRP.

Re: Does anyone have MMH on order???
OK.
A dealer can modify an existing order (possibly one they planned for their lot, or simply put into the system as a place holder), up until a week or two before it is built. A dealer can change color and add/delete most options. I think the only options which can't be changed so close to build, are 4WD and sunroof.
