Post when XPS M1330 ordered and when/if shipped

I know... it consumes a lot of my time .... but without it... I think I would go insane.

:-(

 

who says you didn't already?

 

Yea no lie, I think because of it I AM insane...

 

can someone pm me when this thread becomes relevant again? i cant understand why youd read thru 196 pages of fanboyism/whining

 

i wouldn't go as far as calling somebody else insane....
its just nice to know that i'm at least not alone with my frustration about the delay.
And i like the diversity of explanations why its happening.

Somebody should make a list which parts were made responsible already, think one of the few missing on that list will be the WiFI antenna assembly or so

 

Someone needs a Huuuugggggg! :rolleyes2:

 

here's my page marker

 

Ewww you only have 10 posts per page! I set mine to 30 so I do not have to click next every 2 seconds

 

Damn Monkey, why didn't I think of that...

 

How do you pause?

Oh sweet I added a "wait" and then just release when it stops ringing. Cell phones are cool.

 

On Wednesday I got the Tom Bihn "Buzz" bag for everyday use and the "Zephyr" for plane rides.

Still looking for a good sleeve.

 

p = pause... if you hit 1 or # or *... u should get the pause... I think it pauses for 3 seconds.

 

Brilliant!

 

hehe, if the rep could go down, I bet most of frequenters here would deep in the negative by now

 

This is the most informative thread ever!

We have learnt about programming, setting up speed dial on cell phones, the dell order status phone number, that women get faster service than men, that people with monkey in their name a cool, that it helps to set your posts per page above 10.... an soo much more.

 

still building. will check tuesday. I hope to be in testing / boxing then.

 

We're 3 pages away from cracking 200 pages on this thread... that is a given, and will be hit tonight for sure.

A more on-topic question though is this: did anyone get the docking station with there order? Is a Dell docking station a one-size fits all deal?

 

This thread is slowing down tho... its a Friday night. I think i'm gonna go out too...

Docking station is a generic docking station (by Kensington -- SD100). There is no one specific docking station for the XPS m1330.

 

Lol, probably it'd slow down but from what I've seen, this thread usually sparks up a wildfire during the middle of the night.

It grew like 20 pages overnight .
But I guess we should find something else to do with our lives and go out on this lovely Friday night rather than checking our status order.

 

We should all be greatful that we're getting a good laptop in the end. My brother just told me his university is forcing him to buy a really sucky Toshiba with integrated graphics and 1 gig of RAM for $1400 (CAD), which is a complete rip off. Suddenly, I don't feel so bad off having to wait for my awesome laptop.

 

Did I miss anything on the ride home from work ?

 

I'm gonna call in a half hour and see if I'm still in boxing.

 

Nah, you didn't miss anything. Neither did I on my way home from work and while I was at the gym.

 

It's been a slow night.

 

Yeah, the thread suddenly died!

 

ok i'm here the thread has not died yet!

 

Dell boxing cycle time must be about an hour per box.

 

While I was waiting for my main computer to start up, I called to check on my order. Still in build. As it should be because I only placed my order on Tuesday (the 17th).

 

On that topic... I bought 64 bit XP Professional only to realize that they probably wont release drivers for that right away... oh well. I guess I can just buy 64 bit vista from my school as well. Anyone have any idea if they are going to use Vista or XP for 64-bit?

 

I would stay away from 64 bit Windows.. there still isn't enough support for it from anywhere.

 

I do not think Dell should have released the notebook when parts are in such low supply. I notice on the Australian Dell site, that when each deal runs out, it says

"Pre-Order Now. Available for Shipment from 30/07/2007." two days ago it was "Pre-Order Now. Available for Shipment from 20/07/2007." And yet no one seems to have their XPS M1330 yet. Shipment was suppose to be from 9/07/2007, and now it seems 1 month later still nothing.

I am getting depressed with the delay in the notebook.

 

I'd say it's a money grab but they haven't charged our credit cards. haha. I guess it's just incompentence.

 

Wow. Almost at 200 pages

 

Do you think the m1330 is popular?

 

Probably not as popular as this thread would seem to indicate. How many posts were actually on topic past page 50?

 

... or the number of people posting here

 

I Cant Wait Any Longer Im Gunna Go Mad!!!!!

 

don't you worry... it's too late for that, anyways

 

Waiting for customs clearance.. If I know anything about the excise/ customs laws over here, this is the the thing that might screw my delivery date.

 

A simple question here as I haven't been keeping track of all the responses in this massive thread: Has anyone actually received their Dell XPS M1330? In which countries have XPS M1330 notebooks actually been shipped?

 

Nope... No one has ....

 

I was hoping that things would be clear on the US side. A lot of users on a Malaysian tech forum have been trying to determine what's holding up shipment of the XPS M1330 and there's talk of parts coming in late from the US. At least we've been able to express discontent with Dell's Customer Service, landing freebies in the process.

 

I've had less problems with 64 bit Vista than 64 bit XP, and less problems than 32 bit vista.

There have been uncomfortable exceptions, but by and large, the whole '64 bit sucks!' and 'vista sucks!' is entirely Your Mileage May Vary.

It's easier if one knows what they're doing.

 

Any thoughts about the absolute dead silence from reviewers between the initial launch and yesterday, when Dell say they started shipping? Makes me wonder if the media were embargoed. Also it's slightly worrying that any recent news is just rehashed first looks.

 

What if we don't see the 1330's untill XMAS time. Would you keep your orders alive ?

 

...no... why would one?

 

People should start seeing the first shipments on Mondayish.

 

I know many people, like me, would cancel upon confirmation of this news.

I see no point in waiting until Xmas time to get this notebook since they announced it to be shipping recently.
I personally would rather cancel and order a different notebook, maybe a Latitude, Thinkpad or a Sony which-shall-not-be-named notebook instead. They would certainly not have the huge lead times like the m1330 had.

Less Stress = Happy Customer =D
