1720 Order Delays

Fantastic! Can't wait to get mine. I did get a call back from a DELL CSR manager today telling me there were no delays on my order.

hopefully they'll start building it soon...

 

mine got shipped today

 

LOL. Build is short for brick wall.

 

Well I am getting more accustomed to it. I think you will all be glad you hung in there once you receive yours. Vista is a little different to get used to but it is not so bad.

I have to say the Midnight Blue is a great color. Just has an awesome deep look to it. I am really pleased. I was torn between the red and blue but glad I chose the blue although I am pretty sure I would like either. Hmmm, wonder if I could justify another. LOL

Well Good Luck to everyone still waiting. I am sure you will love it just as I do.

 

930 west coast time still in the build stage. supposed to ship tomorrow... things arent lookin well. good thing i dont need this puter. if it wasnt such a good deal id be pissed. but oh well

 

was supposed to ship today but for some unfortunate Intel Processor Reason... Im pushed back another week... to 9/12/2007

 

same boat but dont know why

 

my ruby red got shipped yesterday

 

Shipping today!

 

When was your red ordered?

 

My brown 1720 w/ t7300 was delayed back to 9/17. I wouldn't be surprised to see more delays here...

 

Good things come to those who wait.......even if you get ticked off to no end.

My 1720 arrived on Tuesday 9/4....50 days after ordering. It has everything I ordered and the paint was in perfect condition. I want to thank all of you in the forum that gave encourgement and support during the waiting. It was nice to know that I was not alone. I hope that everyone get their machines as soon as possible and that they are trouble free.

Happy Computing!

 

Ordered two1720 30. july
ESD 13. september
Cancel the order 30. august
New ESD 12. october - ????
No money back on my accont

 

Was actually supposed to receive mine yesterday... made arrangements with DHL and everything. Yesterday DHL called to tell me it wasn't there.

Long story short... I picked it up this morning and am using it as I type this!

Soooo glad I waited... this machine is absolutely beautiful... I am sooooooooo freaking happy with it!!! The paint is beautiful... the screen is beautiful... the keyboard is beautiful. So sah-weeeeet!!!

Thanks everyone for your support and for answering questions, etc. This is a great forum and I've got it bookmarked.

For those of you who don't have yours yet... hang in there... it truly is worth waiting for!

 

woot world record

 

My Flaminga is delayed once again... in the same day... to 9/22

 

this is why I'm holding on.... I know she's gonna be gorgeous.... Plus I know if I cancelled and I saw some1 else with her... I'd feel like crying!

 

I cancelled my brown 1720 today and went to costco to get an hp pavilion 9543, which I'm working on now. Its not so bad Same specs as my dell except now I have the 8600gs instead of 8600 gt video card.
I ordered in July and I've been pushed back to mid september, thats nuts. I have better things to do wait for a laptop. One thing that is interesting is i was offered $50 off from the cancellation guy to keep the order...

 

Mine just went into Delivery Prep a few hours ago!! I'll keep you guys posted on it's status.

 

ordered 5th July, dont think you're already at that point of waiting

Edit: I meant the 2 months of waiting :'(

 

Actually, I'm in boxing

 

My system shipped on Thursday night apparently..yay me!

 

The three we ordered back on 7/24 have finally shipped as of last night. Now to see if the upgrade to next day service really happens :^)

Come on guys, just ditch Dell and buy something else like me.

 

on Saturday (9/8) I went through Testing and Into Boxing... after 51 days... today is day 53 for me...

 

Two days for boxing?

 

from what I see ... Boxing takes like 3 days... some people get theirs through quick... but not I...

 

For me, I went directly from Production to Delivery Prep, then to Delivery..all in the matter of a few hours..of course I was in production for over 30 days..

 

^^ Today is day 53 for me... I think I got u beat

 

By four days, damn it

 

Shipped!... Only took 54 Days!

 

Congrats! Can't wait for you to get it!

Mine is on the second day of boxing so it won't be long.

 

DHL has no knowledge of my shipment... and Dell says it shipped on September 10th... It should have gone out yesterday... :-(.... NOOOOOo why me?!?!

 

I have finally hit boxing as well... and this is much earlier than my estimated shipping date of Sepember 22.

 

My Flaminga is HERE!!!!!!.... Oh Yeah...!

 

Did you get any compensation or credits? just curious

 

yeah... credit 85 for my NBD SHIPPING and an additional 50

 

They refunded my shipping charges and will issue a $100 credit once I receive the laptop.

 

well its got to be the color because we have the same setup except for the color

 

How come you guys get estimate SHIP date, while I got estimate DELIVERY date. I guess Canadian delivery companies are more reliable.

 

Ouch! I ordered mine on 7/23.

 

Now... "Sunshine" Yellow seems to be more like Mildew Yellow or Rotten Yellow...

 

Since you canceled your order, Just reorder, and get it in black! I really wish it came in silver though.. an all silver body would look sick.. well, maybe not because then it would look just like the MBP, Not saying its a bad looking notebook, just it would probably then be known as "the knock off MBP PC"...

 

i'll return it if it came with mildew i dont mind if there is a banana scent.

 

Since we have different colors but the same size... I'll show you my inside... its so pretty and silver... the corners are rounded so smoothly I just love it... I know you all will too

The whole inside.... I wish the picture would show how Glossy the LCD really is... turned off its like a mirror its so clear...

The Pretty Pink Part

 

Well, my laptop is out for delivery now, but to the wrong address. I updated this address with dell on Aug. 27. You would think that that would be long enough to get the correct information sent to DHL, but apparently not. Hopefully they will get everything straightened out and it will be here tomorrow.

 

i like the stand alone number pad. i hate looking for the numbers above the keyboard.

 

ugh I missed the delivery man by 13minutes yesterday!! So I'm on my way to go pick it up from the Shipping Centre in a little bit..

 

Awesome pics, thank you! Mine is on the delivery truck...I can't wait! I took the day off work just so I'd be here to sign for it. And now I've probably jinxed myself. Instead of arriving early the darn thing will come after 6 pm when I'd normally be home anyway.
