While the retail launch for the ASUS ZenFone 2 doesn't formally kick off until tomorrow, Amazon has now begun taking orders for ASUS' budget-friendly flagship.

Earlier today we learned that the ASUS ZenFone 2 would be making its way to the U.S. and Canada starting May 19th, via select retailers. Apparently Amazon isn’t willing to wait until tomorrow and has now set its listing page live. For those that are excited by the ZenFone 2 and want to get it as quickly as possible, Amazon lists the phone as “in stock” and says it will arrive as soon as May 20th for those who are willing to pay a bit extra for the fastest possible shipping.

Amazon is selling the model with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage for $199 in black or silver, while the more expensive $299 model with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage will be offered in sliver, gold, or red. Both models are for use on AT&T, T-Mobile, or any compatible GSM carrier. Obviously that means no support for carriers like Sprint and Verizon.
