    I ordered mine on 03/08 and it is now in production. The problem is...its not in kitting, just production. In Production is in blue and can be clicked, however everything else under it in the subsection is greyed out. Is this normal? Its been like that for two days and it seems it should have atleast STARTED its production process....

    Anyway, this is what i ordered. I just recently realised how big this thing is actually going to be.

    That's normal. I ordered mine on 3/4 and it stayed on 'Production' until 3/9. It went through kitting, build, and testing in the next 2 days. Today its on boxing and I'm assuming will stay there until it arrives from Malaysia early next week. My ship date is 3/18 and it appears they will make it easily. Don't worry. [ :D]

    The I9300 has just became available from Dell about 1-2 weeks back, they probably don't have a great amount of parts in so just be patient. According to mine, im still in the "build" stage for 2 days. My guess is parts are short and they are just waiting for them to come in. My ship date is scheduled for the 21st so im on a descent track, i wouldn't mind if if shipped earlier though! [ :D]

    Meh, according to the online site, mine is still in pre-production and i ordered it on 3/8/05. The scheduled ship date is 3/21/05, im going to give them a call tomorrow if my status doesn't change by then, just to see what the hold up is.
