    Mine shipped yesterday from Nevada too. Got it today with overnight shipping. From Sparks NV, DHL took it to their Riverside CA regional hub, then to Spectrum Park where it went on the delivery truck.

    woohoo just shipped an hour or two ago, i'm so happy! that means i'll get it probably a week in advance of when it was supposed to be delivered and i'll get it before leaving for college :D

    for those of you who got it shipped next business day how long did it usually take and how long did it take to get your tracking number? mine said Shipping Method: Next Business Day
    Shipped Date: 9/14/2007
    Est. Delivery Date: 9/19/2007-9/21/2007

    but i'm hoping i'll be able to get it before that

    not yet, but i've only checked the website, i'll probably call dell up in a little bit to see if they have it

    edit:

    just got the tracking number, it says its in sparks, nevada! is there any way to get more detailed info of where it is at the moment or does it just say the center it was last in. also it only says shipment acknowledged, does that mean it hasn't started moving out yet?
