    Dugg too. It's about time Dell acknowledged/explained the delays to the Inspiron line, rather than just the XPS series. The biggest problem is that they don't bother to tell you until it's due to be delivered!

    Absolutely brilliant article, Andrew. My thanks for both taking notice of your forum members and highlighting this issue in one fell swoop. It seems a bit "drop-in-the-ocean-like" but I shall be repping you for that :)

    Thanks again.

    Woooow, guys, I thought Dell had released a press release not too long ago that they were finally ready to ship the xps 1330 world wide without problems.

    Was this correct? I was planning on getting mine in september, but if these delays continue I'll look for another brand....

    Andrew, I bless you and you're brilliant article, while I curse Dell and their alarmingly low concern for customer satisfaction. Mixed emotions. Feels cool, like a combat of the mind ;)

    The esd for my ruby red 1520 is tomorrow 8/10. Not a word from anyone from Dell on whether it will ship or not. No email or call. I'm going to call tomorrow and see what I'm told. I'm very disappointed in Dell. This is my first order from Dell and if they don't get their act together it will be my last.

    loved the article :) i wish we could plant little seeds in all these holes we've dug in which a very nice large tree would eventually sprout laptops :) Then we'd all be frolicking around that tree picking sweet, FRESH laptops. Oh how nice that would be...
