    I ordered my M17X on Black Friday. It's now been close to a week and the charge has yet to appear on my credit card. Order status states that it's still in production. The rep I spoke to to try and make changes to my order stated that it was going to ship in "a day or two" Pretty sure she lied cuz the website states estimated date of delivery at 15 Jan 2010. So I think she just didn't want me to change the order to ensure her commission. How long did it take the charge to show up for all of you guys? I'm going to call today and try and beat the real story out of her j/k I just want to know if I need to call the credit card company to make sure they don't deny the charge so it won't hold up my order.

    They verify funds when the order is placed. If you place it with a credit card they verify funds and identity. Then the official charge happens when your order gets shipped.
