same here. i was told in email that laptop will ship in 2 weeks but i got mine in a week. i ordered the ubuntu laptop - inspiron e1505n. only issue was the resolution not correctly set but this issue is widely known to many and its just a one-file-download away. works great. i believe ubuntu is ready for mainstream and i voted with my wallet.

Dell has not articulated as to where it is making it's PC's available with Ubuntu installed. It is not available anywhere outside the continental US as it took a lot of pushing and prying to get an answer out of Dell. Needless to say Dell is only offering specific PC's with Ubuntu, not all nor are these limited offerings made available to everyone. Dell got caught with it's pants down and are now trying to see how quickly they can get them up before somebody realizes Dell has been playing a marketing game with everyone to see how warm the water was. My response after hoodwinking my vote is either put up or shut up but pretending to avoid people outside US markets is going to cost Dell in ways they may live to regret. Take a crap or get off the pot, time to ante up to the bar and provide us with some information as to Dell's decision on limiting their market to the United States.
