Exactly the same here. I want to upgrade the RAM and I want to have the higher resolution. Wondering if I should just buy a different netbook since there doesn't seem to be any set dates for release.

yea! i want to upgrade my mini 10's memory..when will we be able to?

Well we know they're going to do it (check out below)...

  ...note the "with optional 2GB** memory" statement. I just hope it is sooner than later. =)  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for May 20th. ;P

  Take care,

I agree that it'll probably be 2GB soldered but at least it'll be 2GB. :emotion-1:
And we can still hope they'll make it upgradable...

    *big nudges to Dell peeps*

It may be the memory will eventually have a 2G option, but since it appears to be soldered to the system board (note in the service manual there's no location for the memory module), don't expect to upgrade 1G systems to 2G.

Crucial says the 1G is non-removeable as well.

Hmm... weird.  Maybe an indicator of things to soon come?  I spoke with a Sales agent via chat and he (or she?) said, "Unfortunately you can only get it with a max of 1GB, upgrade is not a possibility Bryan". So who knows...

I've spoken to a number of sales agents on the online chat. I asked them when the new features would be released and I got a number of answers: "at the end of april", "in 1-2 weeks [from the 1st of may]", "on 19th May" and now "next month" ie June. So, who knows. I'm thinking i might just have to go somewhere else though. I'm a bit over waiting for the 'release date' and then finding that its not actually the release date, and that I have to wait longer....

The mini 10 has one small detail DELL hasn't told you yet. No, its not imbedded (on board) ram. The removable memory is underneath the keyboard/palmrest. This is very odd how they built this netbook. The CPU/ GPU/ RAM are all on the same card, which is then put into a DDR2 memory slot. When and "if" dell releases something to increase the ram size, it will be quite expensive since you'll be replacing ram, cpu, and gpu all in one step.

So that maybe why they told you,"Unfortunately you can only get it with a max of 1GB, upgrade is not a possibility Bryan".

Weirdness :(  ... I think I'm going to go to best buy and get a mini 10.... then take it apart, takes pictures, and return it. ;p  

You'll pay a restock fee for that privilege.
