I called Apple today about my order and found out the following about my order:
2.93 GHZ
4GB RAM
320 GB, 7200 rpm
Glossy display
They have been delaying my 17" MBP because of a ridiculous sleeve I ordered that was out of stock (Brenthaven eclipse III).
I was supposed to wait another month for this thing (!).
Luckily, I had them seperate the order and ship the 17" ASAP, which I´m being told is in 3-4 days. Bugger all to the sleeve, I said. Give me my Mac!
So, just to let others waiting know: check your order for additional products that there may be an additional wait for. Have Apple seperate them.
For the record:
The women I spoke to was both professional and friendly. And she offered to give me "a good will gesture" as soon as shipping details were in order. She constantly pointed to the shipping estimates at apple.com, as if I was supposed to understand why the delay by myself. I constantly answered that those estimates had changed continously for the last month or so.
Well, all in all a good morning phonecall, I say.
Cheers,
P
