From the most unlikely of sources:
Boeing set to begin assembly of new 777 freighters
Shipping Digest
Monday, January 14, 2008Boeing plans to begin assembly of its new 777 freighter on Jan. 29 at its plant in Everett, Wash.
The first 777 freighters are to be delivered to launch customer Air France in the fourth quarter. As of late December, Boeing had sold 82 of the new all-cargo aircraft to 11 customers. Those orders account for more than 20 percent of the current backlog for 777s.
The new freighter will have a revenue payload capability of more than 103 metric tons. The main cargo deck door of the 777 freighter can facilitate easy direct-transfer shipments with the 747 freighter fleet, which provides about half of the world's freighter capacity.

I think it should be out of the doors by April. Not too long from now!

Vijay Mallya-promoted Kingfisher Airlines is planning to take delivery of only eight Airbus aircraft in 2008, instead of the planned 18.

I CAN'T WAIT!!! 777-200LRF. Apart from CDG, DOH and DXB what other airports will see the 777F regulary?
And what does the Kingfisher story has to do with this post?
And you also forgot to mention that they're also increasing their A380 orders from 5 to 10.
