Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
I just got an interesting e-mail.
I ordered several things at the same time with my M1330. Every item has a long delay on it (from Aug 1st to Aug 29th) so I sent an e-mail complaining.
The guy said the normal stuff about the laptop and the monitor. We have to get parts from vendors yada-yada-yada. But on the bag he said the following:
Obviously my bag does not have a camera in it, so was he talking about the LCD display with the camera? I wonder. It was probably just a mistake, but you never know.
I got $200 off because I have lots of items and they are all running late so I am content now. I think I might call dell and upgrade my processor I wonder how long that will add to my ship time.

The email says Aug 23 When I told him this, he seemed confident he could expedite it. But your explanation makes a lot more sense.

Order Date: 7/5/2007
Est. Ship Date: 8/22/2007
Ouch...hope that changes for the better.

Hooray! I finally got expedited and a free shipping upgrade!

I'm beginning to think this whole "expedited" deal is just a hoax Dell agents tell upset customers to get them off the phone. I really doubt it speeds up the process of getting your notebook.
As for free overnight shipping, that would ne a nice upgrade.
-
Heh I would agree. It seems like they're just telling you what you want to hear. Everyone and their grandmother is able to get their order "expedited" by just asking
-
I also saw this so I emailed Dell a few hours ago. Should have a reply tomorrow.

My previous dealings with Dell in New Zealand have been very fast. I ordered a 24" 2405FPW a while back and it was on my doorstep within 3 days
So it wouldn't surpise me if it gets here sometime late next week, will be sure to post up pics and my thoughts if it does. -
... don't forget that this is a brand new product though (and is much more complex than a monitor).

The UK products are assembled in Ireland and shipped from there. For us in the U.S. it would seem our systems are assembled overseas and then have to be shipped into the U.S. and ship out to us from there. So I would say that adds a good few days to the build.
Also if the overseas plant makes systems for other countries aswell then that will delay us even more.
I guess the U.K. has much better import taxation and laws so it makes it more economical for Dell to build inside the U.K. It would be nice if America caught on and did the same.

OMG Hold the phone!
I just went to Dells website to look for Docking stuff and something is going on.
On the XPS buy page it says "Please call dell for the latest pricing" in bold red type (the original pricing is back now). So I went on to configure a new system and the Ship date has gone down to 8/6/2007!!
Buuuuut if you add the LED screen with or without Camera then your ship date jumps to 8/23/07!!
So it would seem they have a shortage of LED screens. Probably because most people ordering a XPS want the LED screen! Anyway, I really hope it is not a manufacturing problem with the LED screens, and they just misjudged demand for the initial release.

I live in malaysia too.
I have the same aspecs as rastaroofus..only that I selected the black Lid.
