You should have jumped on the Dell deal then. Although Dell had a backorder on them as well
 
dell deal dead yet? doesnt seem to be dead. any one have a cheap cheap item to pad for $300. I can only find a $10 item.
 
I called Crutchfield last Friday and was told they are still on backorder, but they will be sent out as soon as Crutchfield gets them. Then on Tuesday I got an e-mail with the title "Your Crutchfield Order..." I quickly opened it, only to discover it was another notice about it being on back order. 🙁 What a damn tease!

On Monday, it will be a month since I ordered. Has anyone else heard anything?
 
I don't know if I'm actually getting mine, but they FINALLY processed my order today. Was very close to the 2 month anniversary
 
This was a great price for the unit. I have been looking for one but so far the best price I have been able to find is at walmart.com for $288 with 98 cent shipping + tax I guess. Not a really good deal but at least they have them in stock.

Here is a link Text
 
My unit finally shipped this morning. If the rest of you guys that ordered after those initial 2-3 days of the deal can wait, I think you might get yours as well. Spread the vision:m love around
 
wHOO finally got the email confirming that its been shipped! ordered on the 6th ish and over a month and a half later, here it comes.
 
I tried to get on this deal today, but was told this item is excluded from the coupon now.

Anyone still having luck getting this with the coupon?
 
Not to contribute to the deal thread, but I have had one since this past weekend (thanks to my wife's discount, I got it for cheaper than this). This player is very nice. I am coming from a Dell DJ, so keep that in mind. I never liked the feel of the ipod, and I absolutely hate the bloated spyware that is iTunes.

Coming from a Dell, I notice minor differences in the menus - which should be the case since from what i understand, Dell DJs are rebranded Creatives. Queuing up all tracks is more difficult out of the box (more on this later). Sound quality is noticeably better than both my own Gen1 DJ, and my wife's Gen2. I don't like that "head in a bucket" sound that AAC files have, so I obviously think it sounds better than an ipod.

It came with earbuds, charger, leather pouch, several cds of alternative software, plenty of documentation.

The screen is very bright, and can be adjusted to even show well in bright sunlight. The cover is a translucent, but dark black plastic, and the back has a nice, slightly grainy tactile feel to it.

It comes with a Play For Sure firmware, so to get up and running all you need is Windows and a USB cable (also provided). I plugged in the device, and it was automatically spotted by WMP10.

Loading 1500 songs took about 10 minutes on a USB2 connection, and using the managment software that comes with the device allow direct playlist editing and song\data management with an explorer-like interface.

There is a shortcut button that can be set to do several different things. One of which is to automatically queue up a random "album of the day" - which is just arandomly chosen album from your list. It can be set to auto play all the tracks on the player, too.

Finding the play mode is difficult. There is no real "Home" button, just a back button thta will eventually get you to the main menu. The menu button is context specific for whatever is selected.

The thumb slide is very sensitive, and takes some getting used to, but I'm starting to like it.

All in all, I am very happy with this player.
