    I hope that dell surprises me and ships next week. Their status line isn't working now so now there really is no way to track the order. Maybe they're recording a different voice because so many people hate that lady's now...

    That explains why Dell is taking so long to manufacture our orders! They must have spent the last few months working on their time machine!

    I just got off the phone with DHL whose handling my lappie and currently it just left Orlando FL which is about 3 hours from my house in Fort Myers FL. Instead of the laptop going from Orlando to my house, its going to go from Orlando to FREAKIN OHIO!!!!! Simple question: WHY??!?!?!! Also another thing is that the "Next Day Shipping" that dell offers so freely doesn't exsist. I was promised next day but instead on DHL Ground Express and it could take 1-6 business days to get here. F*CK DELL!!!

    I feel the club will grow bigger by having the new members from the 8/28 club. DELL screws us up this time. The buyers in this summer will not forget the experience in many years. The DELL becomes HELL !!!

    Right now... I can't complain much about the delay since I just ordered mine on the 16th. But I know the time is near that I will be very mad. For me right now Dell has a chance to save itself with me. Though atm it doesn't look good. I'm here with you guys though.

    Delayed from Sept. 3rd to Sept. 10th... Arg. Dell Canada is really slow when it comes to shipping... This is what you get when the Notebooks/PC's are shipped from US... *Sigh*.

    Yikes! I think I am the only one *hoping* that they delay my order ;-) I want it delayed a long, long, long time! At least twice if they can manage it. I'm hoping the 8/28 club is disappointed tomorrow, which will make my chances of a delay go up, up, up!!! Also, I ordered w/ the anit-glare screen, which is no longer an option. If they send me glossy, someone is going to hear about it! I hate glossy screens...yuck!. But back to the delay, yes. Delay me Dell. Dell-ay me!!! <smirking>
