Dude relax don't hose your load all over your keyboard just yet (unless you just saw the Wonder Bread girl then it's ok
).He said he received his order ACKNOWLEDGEMENT which most of us have already received.
If someone receives their order CONFIRMATION and then Shipment Notification that's cause for joy.
LOL, after posting this link, it didn't take Dell long to take down the product... this link was actually here since last night... but i posted about 2 hrs ago and now...

damn ross u cant keep changing your sig enough to keep up
Looks like the official Dell Customer Care forums have a similar discussion going on. I was wondering when that might happen. It would be interesting if there was some official Dell statement on the matter. If there were, that's where it would be I would imagine...

I like the dumbas$es that act like it was a special sale or what not. They may fool dell, but they are not fooling us.
I got in on the first price mismatch I knew about, only I didn't know it was a typo at the time and neither did many.
It was the Altec Lansing ADA 880's....they were refurbs and the 885's had just came out. Dell was asking $24.95 so it could have been a legit deal.
I had actually called in to ask as I needed speakers, they told me the price was accurate and I should get my speakers by Christmas.
Well I went through: You order will ship 11/26.....revised your order will ship 12/2.....revised your order will ship 12/15 etc. I ended up getting three sets of crappy $9.95 type speakers set to me in the mean time and finally my order stopped updating....
However I persisted as I had miss an almost equally good deal on speakers, but was waiting on my Altec's from Dell....finally a box arrived and contained new ADA885's ....
I still have them and have no plans on upgrading.
I do not feel the resellers are ever justified in scooping up a ton to ebay, are there a ton of Axim's on there already?

anyone think I should call Dell? I only ordered one... so worst case scenario i dont get the deal and i cancel on the phone.

Thanks for the link, I skimmed through the 4 pages of posts looking for a Forum Moderators response.
None.
I think the Dell execs are mulling over do we honor our fsck up (AGAIN) and lose $$$$$$$ or do we piss off everyone and their cat by cancelling orders and firing a Dell employee?
Choices, choices.

Same here.
Dell should have a verification system like we do here at work (bank).
If I create a monetary transaction, let's say I credit your account $5,000.00 ... someone else other than me HAS to verify that transaction's source and legitimacy before it posts to the account.
Similiarly Dell should have a verification system in place whenever price is affected to prevent these frequent goof ups from happening.
i remember calling buy.com once and they didn't offer me the deal on the speakers...
but after reading the forum, some people got the speakers when they never called the csr
This is so terrible that im checking my email every 10 minutes for that stupid confirmation, if you place an order from a website, you shouldnt have to pray to get that price. Dell is not Ebay, we should pay what the price tag says. my 2 cents, now im off to bed... i have work 2nite (graveyard shift )
)Don't fire the employee, heck if everyone there was top notch they would never have these deals. If they honor all these purchases think how much better Dell's image would be, atleast on Hot Deals websites...it would be a revolution for the company, embracing bargain-hunters...
Worth a shot...happy early Thanksgiving everyone...
I'm a dellaholic.
I bought their systems and their laptops and they've all been great. Never had any problems getting stuff through warranty. All handled through email promptly.
Dell even honors some of the pricing errors which other companies wouldn't even bother with.
I definitely give Dell props whether they honor the pricing error or not.

I got my order acknowledgement but I dont see it under Order status. I think they started pulling/cancelling orders.
I worked for a large retail company at the Corp HQ - there is no excuse for this type of pricing error, and I'm sure someone will be fired over it......you would think, though, that with the frequency of these types of errors they would have cleaned up their processes, which makes me think this is something else, but we'll see...
What makes you think that they $70 is losing money on a X3i (but I suspect it is). Dell obviously has these made in China and buys them by the thousands. Also I'll bet that a lot of Dells products change price, along with the price of TFTs or digitizers, or Xscale processors. Of course computers are notorious for their extremely low profit margins. However, I thought that is why Dell wanted into the consumer electronics arena (TVs, Printers, Mp3 Player, Handheld PC etc) because they have higher profit margins.
