I tried to respond to an earlier thread about delivery date being changed from a few days to over a month out for a Streak 7, but that thread mysteriously had the reply button disappear. :emotion-42:

I ordered a Streak 7 on 11/14 and was given an estimated delivery date of 11/21 for 2 days while it "sat" in production. Today my estimated delivery date was changed to 12/28!!!  Is this for real? I'm hoping it was a mistake. I'll withhold judgement until I hear back on the email I sent to Dell support.

Anyone else?

 

UPDATE: Dell finally changed the estimated ship date yesterday to 5 weeks out. Wish those of us who ordered last week had known about this. It may have affected our purchase choice. Called customer service and got transferred around and got no love. It is what it is, apparently. If you want one for Christmas you better go elsewhere unfortunately. I've cooled down since yesterday and will wait til after 12/28 for delivery of a unit I ordered, and showed as in stock on 11/14. Que sera sera.

UPDATE 2:

compwiz1202 said "I would still like to know if it is a shortage or the rumor is true about them upgrading the screen and battery."

I couldn't get a definitive answer out of any of the 4 customer service reps I was transferred around to. If it is due to shortages, then they should have been more on top of that, and noted it sooner on their sales webpage. However, if it is due to some critical upgrades, I will gladly wait. But, either way, it would  be nice to know.

By the way, where did you hear this rumor?
