I've called Dell numerous times and I've heard so many different lies from them, so I just placed an order with Nokia. I spoke to a rep there and she said they had plenty of stock on hand. They have a 14 day return policy from the date of receipt of item, so if Dell happens to ship the phone and I receive it by the anticipated date of 12/10 then I'll just return the phone back to Nokia for a full refund (minus the $10 express shipping cost). At this point I really hate Dell and their clueless, lying customer care reps, so the $100 price difference doesn't even feel that bad. Plus I should definitely be able to take advantage of the $50 mail in rebate (which was questionable on my Dell order since the order date was 11/5).
