Waiting? In what communist country do you live? :)
TNT-2 and TNT-2 Ultra cards are for sale here.

So far I am very happy with Diamond. However I don't know if they will
continue to manufacture cards with nvidia chips - someone told me they
were aquired by S3.
Another strong manufacturer is ELSA, they have a reputation for good quality.
(Anyone had a view through their 3d shutter glasses yet?)
And of course ASUS and Gigabyte. My personal experience was more positive
with Gigabyte mainboards so far, so I hope they will have nice graphics
boards too. Their GA660 is a TNT2 card, but I have not seen it offered
anywhere yet.
Plus I've seen some cheap brand I don't know how to value it.
They offer a 32 MB "TNT2 Model 64" (whatever that is) for less than a
brand name TNT board.
