    So, I've been reading all the horror stories... I'm praying these are the exceptions to the rule but... I was told by my service rep my M17x would be shipping tomorrow. Sad to say both the telephone service and online service tell me I'm still in production. I'll check back tomorrow. I was told last week that's when they would ship...

    Sorry dude :(

    I find that DELL Australia updates their tracking later in the day so you may still find movement!

    Now its with local courier... Far out - MOVING FAST! :eek:

    (People are probably cursing me now, i feel bed :( )

    i7 820QM
    Dual ATI RADEON HD 4870 1GB CF
    4 GB 1333Mhz DDR3
    500GB 7200rpm
    1920x1200 dual ccfl

    I guess the rgb led is the root to all problems. I couldn't order with that in Norway, and since this is a replacement, I couldn't wait for it to become available either :p

    Soon it will only be ccfl 1440x900 is the only reason you got it so fast. :eek:

    so i got this email from my customer care rep after i forwarded the delay email to her:

    Please ignore this email as this is a auto generated message. I am working closely with the manufacturing department to have the order shipped to you ASAP and you are already aware that the order is in final stage of production

    Order Date: 2/19/2010
    Order Status: Shipped


    :D Problem is that unless that dell agent rerouted my package to my current address, it's heading to my parents place so they'll have to reship it to me here.

    I guess I'm encouraged to see the RGB is back up on the site. I was hoping I'd ship today but I guess I'm officially in purgatory. I'm still in production. Has anyone seen people skip the boxing stage entirely? I'm thinking about calling them since I was told it would ship today. At what point does dell start to sweeten the deal? Just the anxiety that I could be waiting as long as some of the other posters here is driving me crazy!

    I haven't seen any ship without boxing yet....??? You can ask for a better price based on delay's after they actually occur. So if your edd is 3/24 you can start to harass them on the 23 if it hasn't shipped.

    Hey Mr. Neutron, once it's shipped you should be able to look at your invoice online...on that invoice you should see a waybill number that you can put into the fedex online tracking database to get your delivery information and ETA. The website never updated my shipping information correctly, kept saying N/A, so I tracked it via the waybill number. Might want to give it a shot. Good luck! :)

    I wish I could change out my 920xm for an i820qm and still keep my warranty + cash difference. Hmm anyone have an i820 system with 0 defects and 3 yrs warranty? Swap + cash and I may do it. ;)

    You definitely have a unique case. Did they bother shipping an AC adapter with the notebook? I ask because the pic you posted only had the notebook.

    It made it to the Boston FedEx sort so it will make it today... signature required?! Looks like i'm "working from home" today :p

    bah.. too bad they didn't ship it UPS, my UPS dude would just call my cell and tell me where he's going to leave it :D
