    Nice. According to the automated order system, mine shipped 9 years ago. Seriously. It said it shipped in June of 1998. Hahaha.... :(

    I'm on hold right now, waiting for a real person.

    Mine too -- it was supposed to ship 7/26; just got the e-mail from Dell this morning that it's on the way. I'm very pleased.

    I suspect Dell does go with a worst-case scenario when setting the initial ship date.

    Mine is still in the build stage..sigh. I ordered the glossy screen which said (may delay your ship date 3-4 days)..I probably will have to wait till exactly the 30th for mine to ship. Atleast my free remote and free sleeve will be here so I can sleep with them under my pillow and pray for their friend to come home.

    You most likely mis-typed a number in your order number, Just call and try the number again.

    I think this may have to do with where you live.. the zip code.
    Because I ordered mine on 7/12 and I called today to check status, and it is in build stage/mode.. so most likely I will receive my notebook next week sometimes.
    My zip code at the moment is 73132 because I haven't left for college yet ~~
    If you received your inspiron early, tell us where which zip code and mabye that will help some people :D :D

    I thought I read a couple days ago on another thread that Dell will ship the m1330 on the 20th of July... hope mine goes into ship status soon.

    Dell called me earlier today to confirm the shipping/billing address, and I managed to get an answer on when it will ship. He said something like 8 to 10 biz days for my order.

    my ESD is still september 6 though on the dell website...

    Probably a few days. I'm not sure if there's news going on for the 1420's... just the m1330's... (which is taking forever in BUILD stage).

    It usually ships about a week early... and I've seen a few people get theirs 2-3 weeks early. So its entirely possible!

    Try calling and explain your situation. They usually will get your order "expedited" for free... (i.e. Next Day shipping)
