Could be another gateway fiasco waiting to happen but hey, it sure is a good price...

Hm sounds like a gateway thing to me, however when i orderd my Axim pocketpc from dell, they shipped it out very fast, and their 5 to 7 days shipping scares me, i have a feeling they are selling cards they are 'expecting'

[Pandora's Box]

WRONG! they are out of stock. theres a post on rage3d about it not being in stock. gateway scandal 2.0 in action baby.

This price is awesome though so even if it takes them another couple weeks to ship you're still getting a pretty much unbeatable deal.

There is a lot about this over at [H] Forums. It appears that some "customers" on terminal back order have been sent emails that if you do not respond in x number of days the order is automatically cancelled. When responding, they are given every chance to cancel and no projected due date.

Gateway.

Right when I read dell I stopped myself, I had a very "nice" experience with last time around, ordered a x800 pro for 368(great price then) on jun 2nd, est jun 11th, then it gets back ordered no date so call them up and cancel some stupid "asian" guy probably from india, could tell by his funny made up accent told me it is cancelled and it will be off the system in 48 hrs, after 2 weeks status still shows back ordered call them again, speak to another indian guy who tells me order no does not show up in system so its probably cancelled, guess dell works on orders by tossing coins. Anyway, on august 4th get a mail from dell saying item has shipped, I call them up and a girl now tells me I probably CANCELLED AFTER THEY SHIPPED, and to refuse the shipment which I did and today I finally get the money credited back to my dell prem a/c. Dell = Gateway in most cases, its just a case of which is better of the 2 bads

Price went up to $462 today. Still says ships "5-7 days" so we'll see what happens...

I wouldn't get my hopes up..

Wise advice. But if you are the patient sort, this is a good deal assuming they end up shipping reasonably soon (ie, within a month).

? still shows 416 when I hit the buy button.....good price if you can get it. I went with the pro for $333 since it's a better fit for this system.
