    it went into boxing on wednesday really really early morning, so it was in boxing about 30+ hours.

    Scarey part is it went straight from production to boxing...they better have tested this mug.

    My Vostro 1500 shipped also! Too bad I have standard shipping.

    One problem though is my order status is "shipped" and my order details is "in production".

    I talked to the chat guys and they said it was shipped, and they gave me a tracking #, but the tracking number doesn't work.

    The strange part is my laptop went straight from "in production" to "shipped" without touching "boxing" right after a chat guy offered to upgrade my shipping to next day for free.

    Should I be worried?

    Mine was also 20 days, but of course that isn't all build time. There are weekends in there, and getting it to your country and making sure you will have the money for it and testing and all that good stuff.
    I want next day shipping :(

    I had to call. I don't think chat works with the business notebooks... I tried using the chat link on dells website and it just connects with a home and home office rep, who can't do anything but look at your account in dell business. She tried to give me upgraded shipping, but couldn't do it. I had to call business to get it done.

    I don't have a digital cam near me right now
    I can tell you guys somethings I noticed so far

    The all black color looks nice, and is fingerprint resistant
    the build is solid, the screen does flex if you start twisting it
    its not heavy, not for me at least
    the 8400M GS is clocked at 400 core, 500 memory
    9 cell battery sticks out and is kinda wobbly
    headphone jack is fine, no static even with my cheapo $5 headphone.
    I have no idea why theres 2 headphone jacks
    screen looks fine to me, i didn't chose truelife and its 1280*800 resolution

    and oh, i honestly can't tell the difference between Vista Home Basic and my Home Premium and Ultimate.
    I'm not even going to bother installing Home premium or ultimate on this, probably can end up saving some system resource and HD space too

    status says " shipment acknowledged at 12.00 am on 7/26".

    nothing else...
