I wanted to let you know that I had a similar experience that didn't end up being that bad. The day before mine was supposed to ship (2/10) it was delayed until 2/17. The next day the website said it was delayed again until 2/24. That night, I got an email from Dell saying it had actually shipped. Sure enough, it was in my hands on 2/12 (I live near a distribution center).

The bottom line is that the Dell order status is typically way out of whack and, in general, tends to add extra padding to estimated ship times. Their internal policy is to "underpromise and overdeliver" when it comes to their estimated ship dates so you might still get your Axim much closer to the original date than any new estimates would suggest.

Good luck. It is a great little device and I found it to be worth the 3+ weeks that I waited for it.
