1420 confusion..

I'm really confused now...
I ordered the same exact inspiron 1420 as my brother. Mine is pink and his is blue. I ordered mine on 7/16, he ordered his on 7/19, and he recieved his about a week ago on 7/25. (this is also confusing b/c i heard the midnight blue was backordered but my brother and boyfriend got theirs in less than 2 weeks, and both were blue). My estimated ship date is for tomorrow, 8/1, yet mine has been in build stage ever since i placed the order. I just got off the phone with dell, and the rep told me that "my computer is supposed to ship out tomorrow".. and so i asked him why it's still in build stage when i call the order status phone number, and he said that there is only one stage.. build stage. and everything including the boxing all happens in this stage. But i know for a fact that there is also testing stage and boxing stage.. so does he just not know what he's talking about? and do you think it's possible i will get my laptop on 8/2?
here are the specs of both my, and my brothers computer:

(once again, his was blue, mine is pink)
Intel Core 2 Duo T7500
2 gb
WXGA LCD, anti glare
160G 7200RPM hard drive

 

Those progress reports are probably there to keep us busy while we wait for our computer to arrive. They probably don't directly relate accurately to the actual construction progress. The delivery date is also exaggerate so that we don't pester customer reps. I will guess you will get your system early.

My 1420 is scheduled to arrive Aug 22. I hope it comes Aug 15th.

 

yeah, i wish it would come early, but it is supposed to ship out tomorrow and is still in the build stage lol
