Hi Sony2006,
I understand you want your new e-passport badly. I even sympathize with your wish. However, if you already have a valid passport I would plea to you to refrain from applying for the new passport. There is enough people who legitimately and urgently need a passport and are getting desperate because of the backlog. Your unnecessary application would add to the delay. Furthermore, I don't see the need for a new passport. The non e-passports are still going to be valid for the duration of their valid period.
My 2 cents.
