    Ordered 26th October from the UK. Bog standard i7 / 435M specification, and the only thing changed from default configuration was the addition of a Windows media disk.

    Original EDD was 12th November, current delivery prediction of 10th November.

    Mine too - probably on the same plane as your's and Mitchell2.24v's machines.

    Hope mine makes it tomorrow, as there is no-one at home on Thursday to receive it.

    Yep, mine too.

    So basically we're getting a free trip around the world with this notebook. All other machines I have received from Dell out of Shanghai, took a much more direct route...

    That's very interesting (about the map) I'm not well versed on the backend of computers. So I'm probably in the minority who ordered the xps 15 with the core i3.

    Edit: It's in Poland now. slowly getting closer.

    Mine said that too when I clicked on the Purchase ID link, but when I click on the Order Number link in the email it still says 12/07/2010.
    Not sure which to believe.

    Welp I got a canned response back. So I basically replied with a "Well it never took HP this long". Which is, true. Also mentioned I've never ordered a Dell system before (also true) and if these kinds of delays are to be expected with Dell.

    I doubt it will go anywhere, but we'll see.

    Does anybody know if I go to the change details section and Change the name of the recipient or bill to name, will that cause the whole thing to be delayed?

    I put my order in on Monday, had to change the credit card details over the phone today, but got a confirmation email today with the order status showing a tick for Order Received and an arrow for Work in Progress

    Now, a little delayed, EDD 02/12/2010; after all, my first order, wich took place on october 22nd, was cancelled and re entered on nov-5th, so, one week more is not gonna be that bad, since i don´t really need it with hurry...

    Also, i had ordered a basic config, with the 720p screen and the 320gb HHD, now they charged the premium for the screen, but i noticed they´ve upgraded the HDD to; that was a good one.
