    Is there a number that I can call to order a Vostro by phone? The regular small business number (1-800-757-8434) doesn't offer options to place an order. It only offers an option for help with an order made on dell.com. Can you order a Vostro using the regular home number (1-800-999-3355)?

    Anyone? I'm almost positive that I've read that people have ordered them over the phone.

    Thanks for the replies. I finally managed it, but not until being transfered twice. First an operator, then to India, and finally to a business sales person. After weeks of hoping to catch the best deal I've finally ordered it.

    did you get some freebies or discount or next day shipping or something? usually people who order on the phone get something "extra"

    Unfortunately I didn't. I was able to upgrade to Vista Home Premium, however, which many people have not been able to do with a 1400.
