    Oh good, so I'm not the only one doing that. :D

    Edit: I'm contemplating on whether I should go up to the T7300 seeing as I practically upgraded to the high-end on everything else. However, I do not want to see my ship date slip any more just for a small bump in specifications... any advice?

    Not only does the online site only say "in production" but, as far as I know, Canadians have no number to call for automated order status. It's all mystery. :(

    As much as it'd suck to have your shipping date bumped, it'd suck even more to regret for years not upgrading your processor. Personally, I'd rather wait a bit longer to get my laptop and get what I want.

    Your right... I do want this to have what I want since I'm paying $2000+ US for it. I've regretted not getting the top parts for my now dearly departed Gateway m320x :(

    It was a great light-weight, but strong laptop...

    Guys I dont know but my delivery date is on the 27th of July. I just sent an email to dell asking them to send my laptop as early as they can. And he replied me like this:The Notebook was put on a Priolist and will be shipped as soon as
    possible...

    I still dont understand what does a Priolist means?

    sounds like its short for PRIOrityLIST
    which could mean one of two things:
    1. You were special enough to make the cut for this so called list if it is infact a priority list.....or...
    2. Just another way of saying yes you are "special" and to make you feel even more "special" I will tell you its on its way faster even though its really not

    Interestingly odd....

    When I call in and give individual order numbers, two of my orders are in pre-production with shipping dates of 8/13 and 8/23. My other order, the notebook itselt, is in production and is in the build stage and is scheduled for 8/23 shipping date.

    When I call in and give my 13 digit purchase id, ALL orders are in the pre-production stage and they ALL have estimated ship dates of 8/14. What the fruit?!?!

    Are we being duped by Dell? Maybe they did just shove everyone into "build" just to shut us up. I would imagine that the two order systems would be synchronized.

    Not sure... I also am in a similar situation. I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow before I ask a CSR or someone.

    I cancelled my previous order so that I could make some adjustments to the config of my build. The ship date did not change at all, considering that the previous order was yesterday. When I finished up re-configuring my order and submitted it, the phone status update reported that it is in the "Build" phase. Thats very quick, but it doesn't change the fact that I have to wait two months to get it.

    Current ship date: September 6th, 2007

    Hopefully more people go into BOXING tomorrow... and shipped by the end of the week. :)

    I noticed that our "statuses" (besides being shipped) gets updated every morning. So I (almost) gave up on checking on my order... for now.

    When I get a tracking number I will be happy. Unless they just have me tracking that damn Lojack software CD all over the place.

    Its the sad truth but lots of us are in the same boat. On the bright side, seeing all this enthusiasm in getting this laptop will make us appreciate it even more. "Patience is a virtue."

    Well... depending on your order, it might be shipped WITH your laptop (not sure though). That'd be funny though...

    1) get lowjack software
    2) track your damn 1330 via lowjack
    3) watch it slowly progress through the dell assembly line
    4) die of anticipation :D

    I made an order on 7/15 and it turns out it really was two. The standard power cord is a serpeate order. So, today I looked up my customer ID no, and there are six orders under it. 3 laptops and 3 cords. It looks like everyday the order gets re-entered. Anyone else get this?

    LOL, you might end up with 3 laptops... I'd call up Dell's customer service to make sure they do not charge you 3 times over, plus rob 2 other people of their laptop orders.

    I've cancelled my order 3 times so far and it has taken the web site a day or 2 to update itself. Now on my 4th order, and plan to stick with this config.

    Yes I know. I emailed my rep, but so far no response. I talked to him onthe phone yesterday about the first dupicate. He was really confused, and said he would have it removed. Well it is still there, and today a new one has appeared. I just hope it doesn't mess up mu ESD.

    Hmm...new option. What is this "Creative Labs Express Sound Card"? Is that a physical audigy card or something? I wish I had that option because I am not able to use my 5.1 surround sound system with my m1330. I hope the "integrated audigy" isn't all that bad. Hope it is atleast better than my integrated 600m speakers.

    Well evidently Dell isn't the only computer company who can't get it straight. I ordered a T61 from Lenovo at the end of June and their ESD was the end of August as well. Since I read/learned about the M1330 afterwards, I decided to cancel and wait it out for a lighter/longerlasting laptop, as their ESDs were the same. Well, guess the cancelation didn't go through because I should be expecting my new T61 next week. Grrr. More time on hold = efff computer companies. Hopefully Dell is as poor as ESD as Lenovo is.

    You are right they did add this as a new option. It is a hardware version however I do not think it is internal, looks to be an express card slot sound card similiar to a pcmcia card that you slide in from the outside and sticks out of the actual laptop
