Ordered T61 from US CA 7/21 estimated ship 9/6 (!), but actually shipped 8/8 (yesterday). So I think they are being conservative on the ship estimates, as others have suggested.

Did they notify you the shipping?

My ship date got pushed back to 9.9.2007.

This sucks. Have I mentioned that I am computer-less?

I can do without it though, I am on one at work all day anyway... .

Thanks for the feedback .... my battery is a 92P1132 and I double checked the amount of wiggle with a better measuring device on the gaps. It's closer to only 1mm at both sides so I probably don't have a real warranty replacement issue. I went ahead and tried and old cell phone trick that worked on an old Nokia 6160 series phone I used to own. I placed a couple of very small self adhesive black velcro strips (only the looped halves) on each side wall of the T61's battery bay and the wiggle is now all but gone. Also, the good news is the strips do not hinder the ease of battery removal so I guess that I'm good to go for now.

Thanks for the help!

Did anyone else's order ship out today?! I can't beleive it, because mine did!

And last night I was so depressed because my order got pushed back... .

LENOVO ROCKS!

Wait, you ordered a T61p five days ago and it already shipped? How about the rest of us who ordered a month ago?!?! WTF???

It might have to do with parts availability. Maybe the T7500 is more available than the T7700 or T7300. Who knows?

Then again, maybe life isn't entirely fair.

I'm wondering if it would be quicker to cancel my order and order a new one.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My order for the T61 with UWB finally shipped. Ordered on 07/20/2007. ESD 08/22/2007. I was told the other day I was put on the critical list. Good Luck everyone else. T61's and T61p's with UWB are finally shipping.

P.S. Have not received the email confirmation yet. I check the order status page. So, do not have a tracking # just yet. Shipped on 08/11/2007.

lucky [censored]!

My order and ship dates are the same 7/20 and 8/22 and mine is still in progress

How did you manage to get on the critical list? Did you call them 100 times or what?

It seems as if I ordered the latest out of this entire group, and am receiving my thinkpad on Monday . I did not call, complain, nor inquire; it just happened. Good question, I would call Lenovo and complain (constructive criticism.) That should get you on the critical list.

No Drank, just called about 50 times Maybe the had a little mercy on me. But now I am with Lenovo

My T61p has finally shipped!!

So a little less then 3 weeks they say... I hope it gets here before that though, I move into a new apartment and start school on the 27th, so it will be nice to have it before then. Here's to hoping!

My T61p SYS.6459CT ordered 7/11, shipped yesterday - 8/11.

Looks like they got whatever part they were waiting for to build T61p's yesterday and sent out a bunch. Including mine, just shy of two weeks after the original estimated ship date.

Yes, I got an email from lenovo (pleasant surprise, as I had given up checking for a few weeks) and now am tracking it via UPS. It's arrived in CA, US and should be delivered to my door Monday (8/13).

just ordered today (8/12) and my estimated ship date is (8/30).

Wow!

I ordered a 6459CT on 7/12, and my estimated shipping date still lists as delayed to 8/31.

Don't be too discouraged. You'll probably find that yours will ship within the week, like many of ours have (I ordered on 7/11, shipped yesterday).

Thanks. I'll bet you're exactly right.

I received mine this morning. It shipped on 3/11 and it's here on 3/13. That's pretty fast for standard shipping. It sucks that I have to be here at work though. I miss my T61p already T_T
