Has Version B been launched yet?

[stockamt200]

I imagine this is for North America (US/Canada) but I don't see anywhere where I can buy it based on the sticky thread https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/48146/zenfone-8-series-where-to-buy

I imagine this means that so far only Version A has been launched?

Just wanted to check as am in North America and want to buy a Version B phone
