First, I received this:
"Jim -

Thank you we are not able to give you the MC8641VU1500KC we have no product this devices was just introduced. I am still trying to work on getting the other part number on order for you.

I will advise once that is done!!!"

Then, received this:
"Jim -

I am so very sorry I cannot order these samples though my internal system. I think once these devices are in a production mode samples will be available via our web site. I am going to send an email to the on-line sample team.

Please see note below:

EACH 1 - MPQ

BOX 120 - POQ"

The first message was a reference to the 8641, the second to the 8641D. While I'm sure that large purchases of these chips may be possible, it doesn't appear that they are considered to be in "production mode".
Of course, you might think that my request for the highest speed versions of these chips might have something to do with this response, but I specifically stated I could use slower versions.
I don't know Andreas, Freescale just doesn't seem to able to develop products as quickly as Motorola used to.
