I ordered mine today too! Dell does not bill your card until it ships, but they do put a hold (get authorization) on your card to verify the order. They just want to make sure that they can get billed when they are ready to ship.

I have personally given up trying to understand how dell decides who to ship to, and when. It seems when the Ax first came out they shipped them out without any rhyme or reason....no method to their madness. I am sure this will be no exception to their madness! They'll probably ship in waves starting around the 15th, and just because you ordered today does not mean you will receive it any faster than anyone who orders it next week!

I love Dell! you never know what to expect next.

PS I ordered mine 30 min ago and I just got email conf. that it will ship 7-22..go figure!
