Its now Feb 18th and still no Netbook getting really tired of waiting. At this rate they should compensate for my wait say $100.00 off the price.

Brought it up to my credit line. Doesn't matter, I can't use it for anything else. Already they moved the ship date on them back a few weeks. Simply amazing how they are still in business. This crap has been going on for years. Ordered a couple more of these. Brought it up to my credit line. Doesn't matter, I can't use it for anything else.

Every week when I check on the ship date, it has been moved back 1 week. Today (10/23) was the new ship date. Now they have moved it back ONE MONTH untl 11/19. I already got the external hard drive and spare battery. Great, but no freakin computer. I have a Dell credit account. I'm going to start ordering PCs and then cancel them a day before the ship date. If we get enough people doing this, we can let Dell know how frustrating they are making us. Its got to be lot of work for them setting up orders and then getting it cancelled. I already ordered two more mini 9s. I probably won't be cancelling them soon because they never ship the effing things. Is there really a mini 9? Place some orders today. I ordered on 9/11.

Im still waiting, what pisses me off even more is I cant get a reason to why they are delayed, they wont even give me a response to emails, just an automated one about how they care about me or something. They wont give me an actual date, so I guess were stuck together every week accepting a new delay. As for ordering from them again, I quit ordering from them over a year ago for the company I work for. I gave this a chance because of the price and I wasn't stuck with having to have Vista. I should order a few of them through my company then cancel, thats a good idea. I did get the case i ordered along with it. Its been collecting dust for the last month.

It's 10/16 now and it was supposed to ship today. I just checked and it got pushed back a week for the 5th time to 10/23. I ordered another one last night and want to see how long that will take. I'll cancel one when the other ships. Don't know how this company is still in business, After this frustrating experience, I won't be getting another Dell ever again, not even if they give them away. Well, maybe if they gave them away. What a horror show Dell is. Maybe I'll bust their balls after I get mine, like maybe ording one and then cancelling after a few days. We all should do that to teach them a lesson. That would be too funny. I posted above on 10/3. It's 10/16 now and it was supposed to ship today.

Ordered first thing in the morning when they were released Sept 4th , i do mean first thing, approx 6am, They said it was to be shipped out today after over a month "in production", called them and surprise its now until the 14th of november. They said a backorder part, but never gave any info on the part or attempted to save the order, just said, cancel? ok its done, almost like they are hearing the same tune over and over with this laptop. When i asked if they even had the part to begin with, i just got silence and transferred to another phone line. Just cancelled my order 10 minutes ago.

The ship date has been pushed back a week, twice already. It will be over a month that I'm waiting for this. I hope it's worth the wait but I will definitely think long and hard about ordering from Dell again. I ordered mine on 9/11. The ship date has been pushed back a week, twice already.

Oh, and I bought a DELL, not a Compal Electronics thingy. Since when does Dell not build their own machines?
