I just got off the phone w/Dell after placing an order. Contrary to a previous post, they do charge your credit card immediately, even though the item will not ship until late July. I'm not particularly worried as this is not a big ticket item (like say, a laptop) and I personally would benefit from not having any charges on my bill for August.

I also was quoted a July 22nd ship date.

As a side note for those interested in becoming "early adopters", the phone reps who haven't already taken orders for Windows Mobile 2003 during their shift today will probably have a hard time finding the item numbers and ordering options initially. I called twice and talked to two different reps over a 2-3 hour time frame and neither one had even heard of the product. Both eventually figured it out (I ended up commiting to purchase the second time around), but be prepared for a bit of waiting at least for today...
