I too ordered mine from Buy.com on the 24th of Dec, still no word just the good old "in process" words for my status. Could be the holidays I just hope I get an answer soon, I also ordered one from Dell about 2 weeks ago and it says est ship date Jan 4th. If Buy.com fails then I will just stick with Dell, kind of stinks since I was really hoping to get started on this device much sooner than that, oh well its worth the wait I am sure .
