As to ship dates, here is what I've figured out for my case:
When you select the Axim and go through the order process, it tells you what to expect datewise, however, when they e-mail you a order confirmation it generates a ship date for the confirmation. At first I (and it seems others) mistook this for a ship date for the Unit itself :( Dell needs to clean-up that little item as I believe it leads to a great deal of frustration for their customers. It looks like 2-3 weeks is about normal right now. I ordered knowing there would be a delay, I know it will be worth the wait. But here's something that leaves me wondering if the left hand know what the right is doing. It has been pointed out that this is the first item Dell has farmed out for production(not including cameras and printers and such). I noticed all the delayed orders people reference are "in production" status, yet one of the magazine arcticle referenced on these boards quoted a Dell official as saying the delay was not the fault of the supplier ?!? I find that combination of information a bit puzzling.
