    I'm totally sick and tired of getting tossed around like whore, being transferred from one dept. to another (usually the wrong one)
    Anyways, I ordered my Vostro 1500 online sometime back. Its still in production stage. I wanted to downgrade my ram from 1GB to 512MB.
    I tried talking to sales but they kept on sending me back to switchboard operator, instead of sending me to small-biz. And when I reached small-biz, he sent me back to home & home office .. wtf? :mad:

    Anyone knows what number I should dial, and which dept. should I speak to?

    They saved you from getting a slow machine probably! These days you should have 1GB at least in my opinion.

    Try calling this number. Straight from the website. To cancel, change, Order Status or Return information - 1-877-773-3355 ext. 7261843.
    This is the number I used to call and change my order. The people I talked to were very kind and got it done quickly.

    I'm pretty sure he will buy ram from a retail store and upgrade it
