    Hi everyone, I've been reading the forums for a few days and finally decided to join. I just ordered an Inspiron 1501 on 10-2-07 and it's currently in production.

    Ok, my laptop is showing as being shipped today 10-6-07. On the same order, I bought a Linksys wireless router. The router has a separate order number and is showing that it is still "In production." I called the status line and it says that product is in the build stage. Seems my laptop will be here by the end of next week, but does it look like the router is coming separately or as part of the laptop package and just not updated?

    By the way, when I click on the order status page for the router, it says "Information Temporarily Unavailable." Is it just one of those slow to update type of things or will I be waiting a while for my router?

    Alright, since nobody else had any experience to share, I'll share my own and hopefully it will help someone out in the future.

    The Linksys router has shipped out today 10-8-07. It is coming in a separate package. The "Information Temporarily Unavailable" page disappeared yesterday and was replaced with the normal information page that said it was still In Production. So while the laptop and router didn't ship out at the same time, they should both arrive by the end of the week. This is good because I need the router to really use the laptop anywhere in the house.
