    Did someone tried the phone number to see the status of the order? Since I don't really speak German I didn't figure which number I had to press...

    It's seems like a lot of people from europe who ordered a dell are just like me, in the pre-production status for a long time, even on the ship day. Kinda weird...

    the rep here replies rather fast to emails, bu the answer is always the same "I can see only the same information as you. In my system is still the date 14th of august."...

    I'm in Germany. I ordered a M1330. Without fancy options such as LED screen, so I really don't understand because people who ordered after me start to get their laptops... F**K DELL!

    So, is Dell finally cranking up the production at the Irish assembly line? That's good to hear. I hope they can deliver the outstanding orders quickly and then come down with the component prices. The LED screen was deliberately taken out of the "Ultra" configuration here in Switzerland and it's expensive as hell.

    The CPU upgrades cost twice as much here as in the States.

    Hi Mr. Cameltoe (awesome name). Does every country have its own dell assembly line? Where did you found out that dell is 'cranking up' the production at the irish assembly?

    All European notebooks are assembled in Ireland, as mentioned earlier. I just draw this conclusion from the fact, that people in Europe are now beginning to get their machines. That's all.

    Thanks for the compliment by the way. :D

    placed my order on 28/6 and they kepd delaying me till 28/8.
    though there are some people who ordered after me they still have their EDD before me. This is so unfair, but what can I do. They just say sir you wait or you can cancell your laptop....

    I ordered my Vostro 1500 2007-08-07. It's now in pre-production and the estimated delivery date is 2007-09-12. But the sales rep told me that it could be ready in two weeks.

    I guess Dell run out of component parts which they need for the assembly of the notebooks.
