Anyone order from Dell?

I just ordered an Axim X30 with the 624mhz cpu, and a couple of other goodies because of their 30% off sale, and when I checked my expected shipment date...it is a f*ck\'n month after my order date.  Is this a late date to cover their ass, or am I really set to expect a month until shipment.  Which sucks for me, because I\'m selling my current Ipaq on ebay, so a month with no pda would kill me.  Anyone have experience with dell?


BTW, no one say "dude, you\'re getting a dell!"

Weird, I got my dell within 4 days of ordering.

"Dude, you\'re getting screwed!"

I know the feeling, Im getting a belt buckle from ebay, I bought it more than a week ago and its still not here.

good deal on the belt buckle

this is my only grip with online purchasing (and I do alot of it), is the wait on the shipping.

You should get it before then. I can\'t picture any circumstance it would take that long, and I worked for a company that did Dell\'s for the entire state I live in.

Perhaps I should\'ve mentioned that I live about 25 miles from Dell.

You\'ll get it way before then... They are just covering thier asses.

oh,

so this is some sort of a mini laptop computer?

i thought it was a personal computer...that would be weird with only 624 mHz...

it\'s a PPC, Pocket Personal Computer.  Or for people you call tissues Klenex, it\'s a palm piolot.

I bought a pocket pc several months ago.  No clue what I\'d do without it.  It\'s so nice for scheduling.  And of course black jack and MP3s to boot.  I use it on the planes constantly.

Well I got addicted to my Ipaq, I never really thought I\'d need one until I got one.  Makes my schedual so much easier to handle and I rarely am late or miss apointments anymore.  And since Dell had a kick ass deal, might as well upgrade.  Woot

I\'ve said f*ck it on my current order, I changed my order over to the brand new Axim x50, the release date on that bastard is the same as the shipping date of the X30, so why not splurge and go for some VGA goodness.

I don\'t know what I would want to do with the thing that it doesn\'t already do.  As long as I can play my mp3s, keep my contacts, appointments, and have my black jack I\'m good.
