    From the looks of it, R2 is a resounding success. Looks to be selling a lot more than R1 did.

    Nah, if that screen is as good as everyone says, I'd most likely keep it.

    Pretty much the main reason I returned my R1 a while ago was the screen.

    @sleey0, do you mean to say that you can stack the discounts on top of that 16%?
    I also used that 16% discount, but i was told by the rep that no other coupon will work with it, so i tried to say that it's not true, but it did not help ...

    Mandrake said there was no bleeding around the edges and that was my biggest gripe with the SXPS.

    i wasn't arguing too much, as 16% is a decent discount as it is, and the coupon that i had was for extra 50 bucks..

    Oh on my Delayed email it says because one or more parts is delayed ? ... :realmad:

    I have ordered many things over the years from Dell but never received an Email stating that.... hopefully its just a canned Email that everyone gets when they delay the order....

    Kinda lost track, did you reorder with the new DVD drive part number? I know Dell financial services is aware of this issue.... you might check with them and press the issue if you financed through them...

    I told 'em I had heard there about a problem with the DVD part number and that orders were being delayed or cancelled. They opened a service ticket, upgraded me to NBD and put an "expedite" on my order (without me even having to ask). Doubt the expedite did much, but the website reflected the shipping change about 30 mins later.

    Been in boxing since yesterday yesterday AM. Hopefully that plane from China will touchdown over here sometime soon...

    I never had the old drive on my order. I just ordered it 1/27/2010 so it has the new DVD drive. It's just taking longer than I want. Been in production for a week now. :(

    At least I got them to throw in NBD shipping so once it gets out I know it will be here soon enough. :)

    I ordered mine 1/17, then my order was canceled on 2/1, new order number on 2/2

    I think I need to call them about it, my personalized name plate doesn't say my name now on the order...

    That's worth a call!

    Called Dell and said I want a refund or replacement. They ordered me another and will replace this one. They are building a new one and I have a eta of 2/9 with nbd shipping. It only took one call. The guy was very understanding and was really good to me. So I have a new order number and get to use this one till the replacement gets here. You guys were right about what to do. Thanks for the few members that helped me. I dont see what is so bad abou Dells customer service. I have been treated great at every step. I always hear horror stories about dealing with Dell. Am I just getting lucky or is this the norm? I have returned electronics elsewhere and it was a total nightmare.
