I placed my order yesterday (2nd March). At that time, they didn't have any in stock. Been checking my order status during the day. First the estimated shipping date was the 17th of March. Now its the 14th!

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Just ordered mine, It currently says call for the unit, and the dvd burner. The extra ac adapter I ordered says 3/14, Wouldn't that suck if I got the AC adapter before the machine?

I wonder If they build these things in batches. They wait until they get enough orders of a particular machine before they do a run?

My FVU had the same problem and arrived a week late on 2day service, stuck 5 days in Canada. I hate UPS..

baraider · #38 Post by **baraider** » Sun Mar 06, 2005 1:59 pm

sorry to hear about the delays guys...i have the opposite experience.

called ibm to order thur noon. got order and customer number. got email on friday confirmed it shipped.

check on ups and saw that it shipped on friday morning, arrived in alaska friday night, got to ny in sat morning.

since ups does not deliver on sat morning, it just sat there in the warehouse and i got it 10am monday morning...wow...impressed.

goodluck, you guys will have it soon and will be happy

Mine is back to instransit from exception. I'll be happy when I see it leave KY.

They're probably all on the same pallet.

just called ups, they have it scheduled for delivery tomorrow. According to the tracking info it still hasn't left KY

However, I have noticed that the UPS information is only updated once in a while and is not realtime. Don't know if this is true or not though.

I know that receiving a new TP is a very exciting time. And we've all experienced the seeming indeterminable wait for it to arrive.

But is it really necessary to share with us the details of its trip from warehouse to your hands? I hate to be a curmudgeon about this.

If you don't like it don't read the thread. Plain and simple. I only share because there are others that seem to be having the same problem this week.

krosenstein · #48 Post by **krosenstein** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 2:50 pm

Actually, no one is having a problem. It sounds like a typical delivery sequence. The shipment gets waylaid for a day or 2 to clear customs. And UPS updates the information daily until the shipment clears.

I feel your pain...

I ordered my new ThinkPad on SuperBowl Sunday Feb 6. It shipped that same day from Hong Kong and I received it in very rural Arizona on Tues morning! Less than 48hrs!! I was IMPRESSED.

Hope yours comes quickly. They are great laptops!

baraider · #50 Post by **baraider** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 8:38 pm

i spoke too soon about my lcd with no dead pixel....there is one big white pixel in the center of the screen today...it happens today...i tested my lcd when i got it and there is no dead pixel...now i text it again and it's right in my face...guess i'm sending this one back...

baraider · #51 Post by **baraider** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 8:42 pm

I just have the m3u for 1 week,
what do you guys think, should i order a new one and wait till it arrives to return this one or return and order?

I can't miss my laptop for a day...i do work with it everyday.

Baraider

There were many discussions regarding the white pixel. Next time you see it, try scrolling using the middle button of the ultranav or pressing the trackpoint. If the pixel disappears, it's becoz of a s/w glitch in the ultranav drivers.

I almost returned my system, b4 I came to know of this from the X Series dicussions.

HTH

baraider: you are a trouble maker.

I had the exact problem before and I felt extremely sad when I saw the "DEAD" pixel. You know I am enjoying the T42 so much.

In my previous post, I said the problem turns out to be a Windows problem.

I had the nb running for several days, only hiberate not complete shutdown. I saw "DEAD" pixel moving around.

After I restarted, it's gone.

Also the pixel's color may change after you run the PC-DOCTOR color testings.

If you move the cursor over a non-white "DEAD" pixel, the pixel color changed to the cursor's color.

So I conclude it's a Windows problem.

Cheer!

lzy_tek...i was freaked out so i acted weird..ok

Now forget about order another one, i'll enjoy this.

I actually received 3 sleeves today, 2 from sumdex (small and large) and a vasola b5l....i loved the vasola and sumdex small, i'll return the sumdex large.

i can write a review and take some pic if people want

my 2373 M3U arrived this morning!!! i'm sure the rest of you guys will be having fun with yours too soon!!

i read the thread about what i should do upon receiving the new t42.. is there anything else i should do or check?

ellinj · #59 Post by **ellinj** » Tue Mar 08, 2005 9:41 am

just got it. Not a bad pixel to be seen. Screen will take some getting used to due to the small fonts. But I am impressed.
