Still waiting too...but losing patience...
I tried to find a pattern in the delivery schedule based on the postings from people who've already received it. I've ruled out:
1) Geography (disks received in Minnesota, Texas, California, New York - I'm in NY)
2) Order Date (Some ordered in late June, some in mid-July - I'm July 7)
3) 'Squeaky Wheel' (I've called 5 times since 8/1)
4) Need (one poster had returned his Axim & got the patch anyway, another had PPC2002, ordered the Upgrade & received the patch disk instead :crooked: )
I haven't given up yet - I'm currently investigating the following possible methods Dell used to prioritize shipments of the patch:
a) Alphabetically by mother's maiden name. (that's 'P' for me - I may have to wait a while)
b) Price paid (the folks with loaded 400Mhz Axims go first - I picked up a Basic for $169, I'll probably be the last to ship)
c) Supermarket checkout sort (Yes, whatever checkout lane I stand in immediately grinds to a halt "price check!" )
I just hope they don't start shipping Upgrades on 9/17 (the current rumor) if they haven't finished shipping the patches...:rolling:
