Amazingly my order was finally updated to shipped and will be arriving on Monday. Guess I'll be returning the one I got from Nokia. I still hate Dell tho.

My 11/5 order finally got shipped today too, I was worried

I have found a buyer for mine selling mine for 100 more profit than what I paid for with nokia

Where'd you find the buyer?

edit: After checking ebay I see that I can probably sell it on there instead...might be better than returning one to Nokia.

God!! Finally mine got shipped today. I was order on 11/5, never call them just being patient. regular shipping 5-7 days. The phone should be here around 12/9. Seems I am the only one in Oregon order this phone. I think every one will get their phone soon.

no I have a personal buyer he is going to pay me hard cash. he is actually a friend of my friend. and the irony is he also ordered on the 5th and cannot wait any longer he even canceled his order, and I have already got cash from him now, the great thing is I do not have to give him the phone until my from dell arrives.

They changed my 11/5 order to "Shipped" finally. Should receive it on 12/9 (5-7 day ship). Pretty excited to get the device after the long wait. Looks like Dell was really close to the estimated delivery date they gave me back on 11/5 (12/11 originally). It's pretty funny to me that with all of the speculation on shipping dates from all of the vendors that Dell was pretty close to the date they gave me back on 11/5 (makes me think that they actually had a pretty good idea all along, well except for the people that ordered later and did get them earlier than the 11/5 orders )

actually, i just remembered that i also ordered at 11/05. but dell canceled my order somehow without explanation. and after i called them and recovered my order and got the discount again, it was 11/06.... what an irony....

My explanation wasn't formulated from trends or any other data. I was told that Nokia was behind the mismatch in order dates/ shipping dates by a Dell representative who checked with his supervisor and gave me the straight deal. It does happen to make a lot of sense from Nokia's point of view. The other poster was right, a lot of people have, are, and will probably jump ship. Thereby, increasing their profits.

dear goodness, after literally cursing out loud while reading all these "mine shipped" posts I decided to check mine one last time here at 2 am. I'm happy to say that since 11 pm they finally updated it to shipped. Was shipped yesterday and will be here on tues the 8th with 5-7 day delivery.

I sincerely hope all the 12/5 orders get shipped this round. Good luck to everyone!
