It's probably the confirmation of purchase call that I received as well. The person on the other side is disconnected from Dell Malaysia, which explains his early estimation date. Call center manned from India I think.
Cancel or soldier on?

soldier on, mate. most of those in the States who ordered on the first day of launch are getting EDDs in March as well.
on another note, i am getting contradicting updates info from both my customer care officer and sales rep.
as some of know might noticed, i had posted about the battery shortage affecting my order and the EDD was flipped to unknown status 2 days ago.
and today, here's what i get from the customer care:

Meanwhile for the Alienware, 3928103 it is also might be at last stage of production in which I have just checked our production report and glad to inform you that your order is excluded from the “delayed orders which are due to part-shortage” list. And should the order is but and transited to forwarder within next week, you might be contacted by the forwarder for delivery appointment in due course.
ain't gonna be too optimistic about it. still gonna stick to my end Feb/early March assumption. gonna take it as a bonus if i were to receive it by end of next week.
