That's funny because checking order status breaks the rule, because in fact one day your status will change (unless it's already been delivered, in which case you've got a whole new problem if you're still checking your order status.)

I didit I admit. When I get my XPS2 much later this year, when prices fall and there's a stack 2 coupons and $200 rebate and get a big percent off if you stick the XP Install CD between your buttocks, I will probably be doing the same thing.

you can get the order number... all you need is his name, address and phone# (which I would hope you have). go here https://support.dell.com/support/top...en&~mode=popup

hope it works... either way it's a link right above where you put your order # in on the check my order screen. My IT guy ordered mine and I was afraid I'd have no way to check it... luckily there is a separate form to find the orders for businesses!

Well since I got it at christmas, finding out where it is is a moot point now.

I've been checking my order status since Friday - and I see it shipped today! There's a UPS tracking # on the Dell site, but UPS says no info for it. ETA on delivery is March 7-9, but I'm *really* hoping it's here by this weekend.

I just checked the site and my new I6000 will be delivered tomorrow (Friday)!!! That's almost a week early!!

Now I just have to sit in the living room and wait for the doorbell to ring...

awesome... the dell site just listed my ups tracking #, but it says it's just billing received so I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow to see when it will get here (if I could have gotten next day I'd have it tomorrow dammit!) It's probably better for me because I'll be at a convention tomorrow thru sunday and knowing it was at my house and I couldn't play with it would probably kill me!

RAR! I ordered mine on friday but its still "building" according to the phone system. The online status simply says its still in production, so maybe theyre both wrong and it will just show up at my house, while still in the build stage ....

But probably not

Damn! My estimated ship date is 3/10, while yours was 3/9. Do you think mine will ship in the next day or so then too? It seems to be stuck in Boxing neverland. Been there since Monday. I know I know... has to be shipped from Malaysia. How long can that really take? Two, maybe three days? ARRGGHH!!
