News On My Xps M1330!!! You Will Be Happy, Too!!!

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum as a member but I have been reading each and every post regarding the XPS M1330 since I ordered one back in July 3rd through EPP. The estimate shipping date was Aug 28, well... today (30 mins ago) I got a call from Dell saying that my system would be shipping on the 24th of July and asked me if I wanted to use standard shipping instead of Next Day (my initial option). Looks like they ask since you will be receiving the laptop way earlier and you could save some money on shipping... OF COURSE I SAID NOOOO WAYYY!!!! GIMME THAT BEAUTY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!
Whether this materializes or not is yet to be seen but I just wanted to share this with you and see if anybody else experienced the same OUT-OF-THE-BLUE call from dell.

I will be posting my specs as soon as I get a chance... I'm at work right now... maybe when I get home.

Later....

 

congratulations, I order around the same time as you July 5 with shipping date Aug 28, just got off the phone with them, still in preproduction, nothing is wrong with the order. They did change shipping to next business day, big deal. anyway congrats again

 

What is your status over the phone?

 

Yah, what he said...

 

??? You made no sense.... I think he was inquiring about his 1-800 order status.

 

sickening that people who ordered back in June are still in preproduction

 

Well, I have been calling the 1-800 service and my order has been (still shows up as..) in building stage for a week... the guy said the status on M1330 is not too accurate and shouldn't be considered as a real status... THANKS FOR THE INFO!!! ... well.. please take all this info for what it really is.. DELL'S WORD!!! almost worth nothing at all.. i guess I will have to wait and see... my specs by the way...

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7300
2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz
LED Display without Webcam
NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 8400M GS
160GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
9 cell primary battery and additional 6 cell
Bluetooth capability
Biometric Finger Print Reader
3-yr complete care plus (damage protection included)

gotta go...

 

Where are you located and what are the specs of your machine

 

Huh? And you make sense?

 

I have no idea... did I?... we all have the disease ... m1330aria

 

I believe often times Dell reps are alot more inaccurate than accurate. They tell you what you want to hear, and have access to the same status information you do.

From call the 1-800 number, last night my order was in Build, this morning at 8:20am it was in Testing then at 11:46am it was in Boxing. I think the 1-800 phone status is alot more accurate and in real time then what the Dell rep can tell you.

So my point is, take what the Dell rep said with a gain of salt. Call the 1-800 number and make sure your order is progressing through the stages.

 

can you even order this laptop with the 9 and the 6 cell batteries?

 

I gotta call saying not to expect it anytime soon.

 

thanks for your correction.. .I meant 4cell (i didnt want to retrieve the order from dell so I kinda try to remember all the details... I got it confused because my wife bought an inspiron 1420 with a 6 and 9 cell batteries...

my bad!!!
later

 

i went with LED and no webcam....

 

Our company orders 30K a year of stuff from Dell how come I never get phone calls from Dell ?
