    at last.
    ordered mine brown 1520 on 7/30, shipped today.


    what is most interesting is that my laptop bag ordered on the very same day is still in the build stage :confused: and is said to be shipped in 5 days or so

    Mine too! Just logged in and found out. Wonder how long it will take to ship because no one would upgrade my order to free next day shipping?!?

    Now my bag that I ordered on the same day is still in pre-production, but that is another deal altogether.

    Hey DTM could you post some pics? My order is fit/form/function like yours except I think I have an upgraded screen.

    Ordered on28 JUL
    Delayed till 8/10
    Delayed till 8/28
    *canceled* for no reason
    reordered for no reason by Dell on 9/3
    ESD 9/25

    wow when you lay it out in print, it really makes you feel kinda stupid. That is simply ridiculous.

    For anyone who has the Inspiron 1720 with Web Cam in the color Espresso Brown--Can you tell me if the sides are espresso brown as well?

    I originally ordered the green but was disatisfied with the color so a technician came out to replace the cover with the Espresso Brown. When he opened the package he noticed that the beveled frame (sides and frame of screen are one piece) was not included. He went ahead and changed out the cover and said he would order the beveled frame. He was told by Dell that they do not make the part in Espresso Brown with the webcam cut out. They only have the it without the webcam cut out. They said they have it for all other colors and for Espresso Notebooks with Web Cam they are using Black on the sides.

    The technician and I are not buying this so we are seeking to find out from someone who actually owns this color to reply if they have Black or Brown on the sides of their notebook.
