    Thought this would clear up any confusion about delays with orders lately. I just received an email from customer support stating



    "I reviewed the details of your account and would like to inform you that the BTRY,PRI,56WHR,6C,LITH,SANYO is currently back ordered. "



    So I guess dell doesnt have any of this in stock which is what most of us ordered I suspect and is the cause of the backorders.

    Even if they offered free upgrade to 9 cell I wouldnt take it.... In addition to the eyesore, it costs about 180 for it ... with which I can buy an additional 6 cell for 125 shipped!

    2 6-cells would give me ~40% more time than 1 9-cell

    That's just wonderful. All we need is another delay after delay. I think those "nine-cell"ers are pretty much finished up...oh well, we'll just need to wait a little longer...All will be good in the end! :)
