    (Mine was suppose to be here yesterday. DHL screwed up and now it won't be here until Monday at the earliest. I am so pissed.)

    Called Dell and they called DHL.... my laptop arrived 6 hours later! Plus the CSR is sending me a new printer to make up for the shipping mistake. I love the laptop!

    Just hoped to encourage the midnight blue/T7300 group with the news of a two week move up rather than move back. Got word yesterday that my 1720 was shipped. DHL hasn't picked it up yet as far as I can tell, so who knows about the estimated delivery by the end of this week, but it is certainly sooner than I was expecting. I hope to be able to report that the computer has arrived and is in perfect condition, operating fine by Friday evening.

    It seems like Yellow's the only colour being delayed right now...

    That's odd. I figured that Sunshine Yellow wasn't THAT popular a color. If I recall correctly, it was one of the least chosen colors in a survey somewhere in these forums.

    I love my Sunshine Yellow 1721. Got a Saturn coupe & LG enV to match!

    DHL knocked on the door yesterday morning. Surprise! Early delivery.

    Love the WUXGA screen. Everything seems fine so far. Better than anticipated experience.

    You're right. Blue and Red are a lot more popular than Yellow, but they still got delivered sooner than yellow ones. It might have the same complications as the colour White. Dell was able to build them, but not mass-produciton... :(
