    Well....

    placed my order on March 27th (yesterday afternoon)....just checked my online status and it's already been dispatched!

    I wasn't expecting it until next week (estimated date for delivery was the 4th April) so got it for delivery to my home as I'll be on holiday next week! Oops, I wonder what happens if you arn't around to receive it?! :(

    what email address did you use to get in touch with them ? Maybe I will try that as I dont seem to be getting much joy and now I am not sure if they have cancelled my order ot not so if I re-order I might end up with twice what I wanted !

    Thinking of buying the dell 1501, can anyone tell me if it has a pcmcia slot on it as i use a vodafone data card quite a lot?

    thanks

    It has a PCI express slot I believe, which are slightly smaller than normal pcmcia, so you may need a different card.

    Not sure if it is available in the UK yet

    If its a standard PCMCIA slot, the Vodafone card will work fine! :)

    Dell don't change fundamental connection standards like that :rolleyes:

    However, it 'could' be an 'ExpressCard' slot, and if so, then yes, it's smaller (but also faster)

    Just had an email saying "I have submitted your order - and your Estimated Delivery Date is on or before 05/04/2007"

    So its not looking very cancelled so far ! Not sure what to do re-order or leave it assumming they will be delivered and not cancelled

    I think you will find that Dell now fit ExpressCard slot on all their laptops. My Vodafone card doesn't fit in my lappy 1300 bought last year!

    That's a bit annoying then, can you get it in USB form? Otherwise there may be pcmcia to expresscard adapters? :)

    Apologies for the very stupid question, but would this have an ordinary ethernet port?
