UK M1330 Order Status Thread

I ordered on the 3rd July now its delayed for the 4th time to 17th August.

Anyone for the uk got theirs? if not, whats the new delivey dates for you all?

 

Just had a look at my order status and it has now dispatched, so I should be seeing it sometime next week.

 

Still 16/08 for me, hope they could keep up to it.

Keep me posted on your progress pieman, i'll have a closer look into things on monday.

Cheers.

 

Hi all
apparently, for the uk, they havnt shipped ANY yet (the manager says)
and they will START to ship on the 17th August

AHHHHHH

 

This is not true, mine has been dispatched as of today.

 

Guys....I'm seeing a little too much stuff bypassing the language filter. Please do not do that, just leave those words out. If you have to type a '!' or '$' or something else, you shouldn't put it in. Thank you!

 

we be told

 

Ahh, i dont beleive this,

more lies...

can everyone e-mail me when they arrive? then i can have another go at dell for their 12th lie i have proof for..?
cheers guys

 

I'll post here when I get it, not sure how long it will take to get to here (Devon) from Ireland though.

 

Don't get any hopes, i'll set up a roadblock at the ferry terminal and will impound all M1330s until i get mine

Just kidding

 

Excellent, I'm hoping mine will be ready by Christmas.

 

If the 17th as first shipping date is true, i'll finally cancel my order. That would mean they pushback orders from the 3rd July by a couple of weeks, probably another month again.
that would push it way beyond when i need that notebook and i ordered 2 months advance.

I'll try to contact my sales rep about this.

 

just visited the Dell website and found this info bout the M1330

"Please be advised that there currently is an extended delivery time of approximately six weeks on Dell XPS M1330 Notebooks."

(surprise surprise)

 

it's not new, however before it was a 5 weeks delay...

 

Ok it has arrived! Im scared about the size of the 9 cell ouch! I did not order a fingerprint reader however they have kindly given me one free of charge. This now worries me that my order is not as I placed, how do I check the screen is the lcd 300 nits it looks like it?

 

It seems the only way is to remove it... BTW when did you order it?

 

Mine's arrived now but I don't appear to have the sleeve case but do have the headphones. Langer, did you get the sleeve case eventhough you've got the 9-cell?

If anybody wants some gratuitous piccies of it I'll be happy to upload them somewhere.

 

damn! The sleeve is much more usefull than those second quality headphones! A guy in France just received his m1330 and the sleeve was delivered... Maybe you should complain!

 

Im very envious of the UKers who have received theirs...! wp

 

I have the sleeve! I wish id gone with the 7200 hard drive! The paint work on the top is not flush where the silver starts at the sides. I've phoned them and they said they will replace within 1 day, which I think is pretty good!

 

just spoke to my CSR and he spilled the beans by saying the new shipment of LED display is only arriving on 27th of AUGUST. WTF??

after realising that i was about to scream so loud that he can even hear it in India without being on the phone, he changed the statement a hundred times and told me that this is not what he meant. i have seriously lost all faith in DELL.

 

Langer, do you mean the plastic that surrounds the screen is not flush with the lid plastic? Mine suffered from the same problem, two fingers on the back of the screen on the top left and top right of the surround resulted in a large rather scary crack and the surround sitting flush with the lid.

 

Taking the piss now..i want mine. I was promised this week.. dont see it happening

 

I love how Dell lie... how do they not realise already that its worse than just telling us they wont be shiping anything till January next year.

 

The promise i spoke of was two fold (so one of them was a lie) i was promised this week..but no later than the end of August lol

 

haha - well i was promised 24th August Delivery or before, after having my original order cancelled (see sig). Having read the threads though it does look as if that might not materialise given the new shipment of WLED screens isn't until the 17th August (?)

 

After seeing that Dell charged my card on the 1st, then on the 2nd delayed it till the 28th.. I was naturally wondering wtf.. emailed dell and have been told that the system is in the build stage.. some sort of progress at least... Believe it when I hold the thing mind.

 

Have you checked online? They rang me to say it was in build last Thursday, website still says otherwise... tbh 75/25 chance they're lying.

 

Status page still broken for me.. showing two orders and nothing happens but a page refresh when clicking either.

 

Dont worry, same here. I seem to remember the longest this has gone on before was about a week then it suddenly gives the detail again.

 

Well sur-fork-ing-prise surprise

"I understand it says not yet dispatched as it is currently in production.
The website cannot show any other update as the order is held due to non availability of the part.
As soon as the parts are procured the system will be out of production."

back to sq.1

 

Orderd On 08/08/07
Status - Pre-Production
ETA - 21/09/07

When I placed the order there was no note on the order page of any extended wait or delay. I did original have a order of a M1330 due to arrive on 20/08/07 but i cancled it since the price of parts had changed quite abit (could do with saving money!)

lolz, 69

 

I dropped dell a mail saying if I could have a proper update, I got fed the glass excuse again.

 

Just got my M1330!

This is how it's looking so far:

.The build quality seems excellent, couldn't find any problems here
.The CCFL screen is great, and doesn't seem fat at all, like it looked in some pictures
.The camera gives a good picture, and the effects work better than on the quickcam fusion which was rubbish in that area
.The CD drive is loud when it ejects and when you put in a disk
.Vista has run very smooth so far, no blue screens or anything
.Fingerprint reader seemed rubbish at first, but once I got the technique right, it worked every time
.Remote does stick out a little as reported by someone else, but seems to be by design as you have to press it in to eject it, makes this much eaiser
.It's very quiet, no cpu whine or loud fans

So so far, I'm very pleased

 

Great I also ordered the CCFL screen! What CPU did you ask and when did you order?

 

I got the t7100 cpu and ordered on the 5th of July

 

I also asked for the T7100 and ordered the 6th of July, but still in pre-production, WTH!

 

Was about time for you then! Congrats What Ghz is that chipset by the way - I forget?

Perhaps if you two directly compared orders and locations you could get to the bottom as to why one of you is still in early stages?

 

it's 1.8GHz

 

The t7100 is a 1.8ghz, and yeah it was about time really, considering my specs.

 

the answer is simply that Germany is BS!

 

Damn, that's annoying. Maybe it's because of something you ordered? I didn't get wireless n or bluetooth. Did you get either of those?

EDIT: Also I didn't get the 7200rpm drive, just the standard 5400 120gb

 

3rd of July here, still in pre-prod, 120gb boggo standard drive LED backlit.

 

I guess Dell uses some random number generator to determine who will get their laptop first

 

Well ceminino compare your order his .. if it's all the same blame the fact you're in germany and sue Dell for being racists!!!!11one

 

that's a good idea actually, they are rather sensitive on this subject here, maybe I'll have an upgrade...

 

Just thought I'd confirm (if someone from europe hasn't already) that the laptop comes in the black case people in the us get, you also get the remote and headphones, which sound pretty decent.
