    Someone suggested that the color may be a deciding factor in the shipping delay or speediness.

    I ordered a midnight blue 1520. Unless it ships today, it won't have shipped early.

    Mine's Blue, I ordered it on July 7th/8th and it is SCHEDULED to be shipped tomorrow. I wish I shared jbizzler's complete confidence in the estimate :)

    It looks like we have a couple scheduled for tomorrow. We should have a "Estimated shipping date 7/25 lounge"

    Im starting to feel bad about midnight blue. I ordered a midnight blue 1520 on July 8th, and it was scheduled to ship the 23rd but has now been delayed until the 30th.

    Ordered pink n 6/28, received 7/23. The original delivery date (7/17) got delayed a week. I thought it was strange... I highly doubt pink was a popular seller.

    Red is a much slower frequency than blue. They should have taught you that in physics :)

    Midnight blue, ordered 7/6, first estimated ship 8/6, second estimated ship 8/16. Take the last number of each and i get 666. I haven't seen anyone with a longer wait time than me, so i called dell but couldn't get the date pushed sooner. Why do i get to be so lucky?

    I just went to the dell site and i think it was all colors besides black and red were being delayed.

    How come you cant vote for blue and shipped early. I ordered mine on 8/27/07 it had an original ship date of 9/21/07 but it actually shipped out on 9/8/07. It's suppose to be delivered on 9/12/07.
