    I e-mailed my rep and she replied quite quickly. Apparently, my order is now in the build phase! Yay! Have you not been assigned a rep upon making the purchase? I assumed you'd get your reps e-mail and extension number, like I have.

    Ha, orders placed today still show a July 9th estimated Ship date. The last laptop I ordered from Dell shipped prior to the ship date, but I don't expect the same to happen with the M17x.

    My sales rep just told me: They are not really cancelled, but been put on hold. Might be some problem(hardware?) they're facing ate the moment.

    Maybe just a little rushed?

    What was the part with the bad SKU? Mine was the TV Tuner. Same thing happened - cancelled the order and split it into 2 parts. The notebook in one order and the tv tuner in the other.

    If there were many deliveries to your area might they schedule a second truck on the route? If so I can see you chasing the first truck while the second drives up to your place to deliver.

    Wait - they responded to you when you replied to one of their emails??? I had three different threads with them at various times and they never once responded back to any email I sent them...

    4096MB RAM
    320GB Free Fall HDD

    I ordered mine via the website (no phone call) on the 8th and it shipped today. Unsually on the website, it never said anything re: boxing, etc. or pre-production, it simply said "in production" from the first day and then "shipped" today. I ordered from US w/ the following config:

    t9600
    space black
    dual 280
    blu-ray
    256gb sdd
    1200p
