    You assume that posting on a web forum isn't a form of human communication that is as variable, flexible, and legitimate as a conversation face to face... But it is :p

    As you can see here :D

    All forms of communication have protocols/etiquette. The point about going OT in a web forum, which is ostensibly to share information about a specific topic, is that it's like being in a business meeting with someone going on about their pet cat and wasting people's time.

    oops I'm off topic. ;)

    Well? That reminds me of the time I was looking down a well...I thought it was magical...man how gullible I was back then. Speaking of gullible, that reminds me the time I ordered this sweet laptop, m1330,...I was so gullible thinking that I'd actually get it within a month.

    It might be different after a weekend, however my status changed from build to testing after 10 PM eastern last week. I called at 9:15 and 9:45 PM with no change. I then called again just for the heck of it after 10 and finally heard Dolly Dell say it went to testing.

    i've been in build since july 12th, one rep said i would get my order september 6th, whereas another told me august 9. who to believe is the real question.
    i'm very perplexed as to how difficult it is for one of the largest computer manifactures in the world to actually make one, just one finished product within a month!!! i'm still waiting for sony vaio sz6 to be available i think i'll cancel my order.

    I really hope more laptops move into "testing" today, but i'd be willing to bet it'll come Tuesday - Thursday. It's gotta happen this week or something is seriously wrong.

    Can you do us all a favor, stop posting until your status changes. It's getting annoying to see a minute by minute of your status that is highly unlikely to change anytime soon.

    Keep in mind that Sony refuses to support Vista 64 telling me that there is no future in 64 bit software. I'm running Vista 64 on my Sony with no ability to add or remove my headphones without the sound driver crashing and no ability to dim the screen. I'm using it for encoding, decoding, and mapping work because it doubles my laptop performance. Basically, I'd recommend Asus.

    Hey im new to the forums, but ive been lurking since the xps m1330 came out. I ordered mine on the 2nd of july and my order is still pre production with as estimated ship date of august 20. Why are people who ordered around the same time as me having theirs shipped already? I want my xps!!
