    For sure. Much like my Envy, I flew to the US from Shanghai just a week and a half ago. I arrived in Vancouver (layover) four hours before I left Shanghai, according to the clock, at least. It was the 6th of July for a long time...

    Guys....use simpletracking.com that site has more updates than fedex's site. On the fedex site, it only tells me that it departed from Oakland. But simpletracking is one step ahead and told me that it was in LA

    wow you're right. the fedex site still shows my envy as departed oakland too, but simpletracking shows it as leaving phoenix as of 5 am. Damm, if I used this earlier I could have at least attempted to pick it up at the fedex sorting facility..

    I am, even that just says "Left FedEx Sort Facility"
    I only live about an hour from oakland, I have no idea what's going on
    Unless there's a fedex near where I live and they just haven't scanned it in yet

    It should arrive somewhere near you soon. It will say "Arrived at FedEx Ramp" and then "Left Arrived at FedEx Ramp". At least thats what mine shows on simple.

    Still holding out hope? I want it to come back, to get a dm1z, as well but I am not getting my hopes up. A 40-50% going away bash would be great, though.

    absolutely. hope is all i have if i want an SSD =[. the trend points to the 26th...but i'm waking up early every day in case it pops up outta nowhere. i hope microsoft is nice enough to give a 40-50% blowout for a good 5 hours on hp too lols. that'd be epic.

    I'm totally with you on that, I'd loooove to get in on the ssd action.
    BTW can you change my name on the list? Got an extra "i" in there, I'd hate to miss the alert and not get the fantastic deal we're all waiting so impatiently for!
    Thanks again

    Go to slickdeals and set up a deal alert to send you an instant e-mail. If you have a smartphone that way you won't miss it. You might even be able to set it up to send you a text message.

    i set filters for gmail for notebook review PM'S to text to my dumbphone samsung eternity, and i set a deal alert (keywords: hp bing), and subscribed to the thread "hp 30% cashback" (the one that says DEAD or ALIVE).the slickdeals alerts go to text to my phone too.

    will that be enough? =o

    Sometimes people put "BCB" or "cashback" so I'd include BCB and cashback there too.

    I wouldn't expect it to move until tomorrow, when FedEx can't ship. It's probably being held and sorted out for now.

    Unless FedEx doesn't deliver on Mondays.

    Regardless, I'm out of town the next two days, so enjoy your Envys people!

    There will be a status update Sunday at midnight. The last status will simply be the truck docking at the facility. Once it is scanned, you will see an update overnight.

    check slickdeals/techbargains often. they usually have a nicely reduced external every once in a while. i'm waiting for a super cheap one myself...cousin told me to see if i can get one for 10 cents per gig or less =p.
