I have the exact same status. Arrived at Austin TX Fedex facility a day early. I called Fedex and they wouldnt let me go pick it up either.
Hope they deliver it before lunch tomorrow.

Is it still possible to order it for less than 500?

I believe that it's not Dell's fault, but it's pretty clear just looking at the spreadsheet that orders were being fulfilled by geographic area. When one Texas order shipped, the others were right behind. Same with NC, GA, IL, TN etc. There was one black-sheep California order, but maybe that was under a different coupon code or just happened to be in the right zip code to get mailed to.

I just called Dell and spoke with Shane to make sure I was actually getting something tomorrow... of course, as my luck would have it, it's currently on backorder and the new expected date is January 15. So now I'm really pissed off at the fact that those that ordered LONG after I did are currently (or about to be) enjoying their phone, while I get the shaft.

Complete BS since no one there seems to know why people that placed orders later in the month are getting theirs ahead of those placed earlier. Now I'm considering canceling with them... but he told me he'd drop another $75, bringing my total to under $400.

At this point, though, I'm not even sure it's worth anymore of my time and frustration. What do you guys think?

(Sorry for the rant... just f'ing pissed off.)

how long does it stay Data Temporarily Unavailable its been like this since friday?? anyone help me??


Order Date: 11/5/2009

Shipping Method: Next Business Day
Shipped Date: 12/4/2009
Estimated Delivery Date: 12/8/2009 (updated)
Carrier: Data Temporarily Unavailable
Tracking Number: Data Temporarily Unavailable

its the same thing for me but my CC shows that dell charged me on the 5th

my card just got charged (ive been checking all day), but my ups status still shows it sitting in the LA, CA facility (should take only a day to get from LA to SF). has anyone from LA gotten their package yet? It looks from the chart no one in CA has yet?

Mine is out for delivery. The sad thing is that I've rechecked the tracking page half a dozen times since I first learned that, even though I know the next update I'll get is the delivery guy showing up at the office to hand me my phone. I think I need a support group.

Hey Charbar, mine has left LA on the 5th and arrived in Portland today. Should be in my hands (Seattle) tomorrow or on Wednesday...

If you aren't already signed in, click the link to sign in on that page, and then click to view invoices. On the invoice is the waybill #. Type that into a google search and see if it recognizes it as a carrier tracking #. If not, prepend 1Z to it and try again and click to do ups tracking.

Mine has had Data Temporarily Unavailable since it "shipped" on Friday. However, tracking it with UPS using the waybill # above shows it left Cerritos, CA this morning at 5am, arrived in Phoenix, AZ at 3:40pm today, and is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. Yay.
