    Just thought I would let everyone know that it looks like the brown 1520's are rolling through production pretty fast. I ordered mine on Sunday (7/29)and it just shipped today (8/2). Following is the complete build, good luck!

    Inspirion 1520, Espresso Brown, T7300 CPU, Glossy 1280X800 screen, 8600M GT video card, 2 GB memory, 160 GB 5400 rpm hard drive, cd/dvd rw drive, 9 cell battery.

    I guess they are not out of stock on the screens after all.

    Yet another example of someone who ordered after me and will get it before me. Same exact specs...except for the Brown.

    No web cam

    And I have no idea why it was so fast. When building it on Sunday I just looked for which colors had no * delay notice next to them (only black and brown). Originally I was given a ship date of 8/15, but it went into boxing on Tue and shipped Thu. Go figure.

    Wow, it'd be a miracle if mine shipped that fast. Too bad mine's a midnight blue :rolleyes:

    No web cam - this makes me think that the lids are pre-made and combined with the other side, web cam or not. SO if they are out of web cam-lids they cant use the color back from non-web-cam lid.

    I'm starting to think that the more I call up Dell CS, the longer it will be delayed.

    **Sigh**.... pretty much same specs as "whatabout" and I am still waiting. I re-ordered on 7/26 and my ship date is 8/9 --- UGH. I do have the webcam though so just maybe that is the difference?? Maybe you can all update when yours arrives!!! That could give the rest of us hope.
