Dell has to improve their web site - it's not what it should be, considering it's the world's largest PC manufacturer. For example, when you hit product details for some of their cases, you get an error. You can't even view a picture of the Bluetooth keyboard... I've ordered from Dell 2 times in the past and was very satisfied, but their site was and is filled with errors.

I've ordered mine a couple days ago. Checked yesterday on the status of my X50v and it's in Pre-production (whatever that means). Hopefully it won't be too long.
Edit: Oh by the way I'm in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Yes, I would love an update as well. Especially battery life which seems to be the achilles heel of this device. Thanks.

It looks amazing, the screen is awesome, performance seems good. Screen re-draws seem a touch slow, not sure why, and it can't play 1300 kbps WMV like I was told it could. I haven't gotten to any battery tests yet, but will do so soon.

AFAIK the screen redraws being "slow" is universal to VGA devices. The problem with WMV... Well, on some reviews I've read of the device they basically said that WMP is really slow in comparison to PocketTV or Betaplayer. You may wish to run your tests with a variety of different player programs.
I'm interested to hear if the developers of these media programs have any plans to support the new graphics chip.
