    Well crap... I just ordered that too!

    Where did you get your info from? A customer rep?

    I told my customer rep to let me know if one of my specs was backordered as we were going through and selecting them. I guess this just happened. Maybe my order was the last...

    I am not holding my breath.

    Are you kidding? That's not cool at all. I need mine in-hand on August 16th because I'm leaving for college the next day. I'm going to have to get in touch with them, apparently...

    It doesn't have a "may delay your ship date" next to it. It could just be a temporary supply shortage.

    I wouldn't completely trust to what the CSR's say. I've heard some crazy stuff that was "back-ordered" on the m1330's (everything from the chasis to every single processor possible to the LCD).

    Hopefully it's just temp or a shortage, but the supervisor I talked to advised me of that because that was the reason I was canceling and re-ordering was to not get delayed. I had ordered the Midnight Blue first. So then I upped to the T7500.
    Oh the fun of Dell.

    Oh yeah, and I ordered the 1520 so maybe it's different for other Notebooks.

    They said the screens are on back order. They bumped me a week and gave me next day shipping which pushed my est arrival date one day passed the max day on my original est arrival date

    They might have told you wrong, they told me the screen at first, but in the end they told me that it was the item holding the screen which is the color things!

    Don't worry, according to Dell reps, everything's backordered.

    Yes, they could have. Don't care either way as long as it gets here.

    Well then I guess I'll just have to convince them to upgrade me. Free of charge, of course :D

    They upgraded you for free without cancelling and resubmitting your order? OR did you pick the T7500 when you originally placed your order and just lucked out?
