    MaryK -- what resolution screen was on your brown? I ordered brown 1520 with WSXGA+ (I think that 1660 X 1080 so similar) on 7/24 and have been told my delay is color and LCD so wondering what type LCD yours had.

    Thanks and congrats.

    I'm not giving hope just yet, but I'm starting to look at different laptops after my talk with the dell rep. They pushed back my brown 1520 that I ordered on July 23rd twice now from Aug 6 to Aug 26.

    I think its the T7500 processors that they're short on.

    BTW I'm also in the same area as you. (mississauga to be exact)

    I also ordered brown with a T7500 processor. My ESD was pushed back from the 6th to the 31st.
