I have just read nRF52840 Engineering A Errata v1.0, it looks like nRF52840 is like swiss cheese.
When can we expect some solid version of nRF52840 chip on the market?

Every engineering first sample has a load of documented issues, given Nordic has added more radio support and a USB interface, I think the PAN list compares quite favourably with the first release of the nRF52832 which was a bit rough.
The engineering version is still more than sufficient to prototype a product ready to refine when the next version arrives.
Nordic rarely comments on schedules here, I'd take the time between engineering and release of nRF52832 as a guide, although I'd think this chip may come to market a little faster as it's not quite so much of a radical change.
Hi AlBundy
The current release of the nRF52840 are engineering samples, and a production variant is expected in Q4 2017.
This was mentioned in the following press release:

Note that many of the bugs in the errata list have a workaround. I for once appreciate the transparency, and that Nordic actually has a public and updated errata list. Some other companies don’t have public errata list, or have a errata list where only 1% of the bugs are listed.
