Ah, I totally didn't notice that there was a "senior" member who is receiving his phone. You can understand my skepticism, I'm sure... but I am convinced now. This still makes me pissed though that mine isn't shipped. However, optimistic that it will be shipping soon. Hopefully tomorrow.

Thanks for the update guys.
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
Post #502 (a senior member) has said the same... his has supposedly shipped. So maybe its true then...
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
But I still expect to see pictures tomorrow....
[Venue Pro General] teels4feels:
For those of us who did get a shipping notice tonight, could you post when you ordered your device?

I ordered mine on 9 AM PST on Dec. 1st.
[Venue Pro General] CrownSeven:
If by tomorrow you mean Friday, you got it.

My dell status page says next business day shipping, but the fedex tracking page says FedEx 2Day Service - bastards!

Oh well, guess I really can't complain.
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
to those of you who have low post count, and are claiming that their dvp is shipping and being delivered soon, have super low credibility. I'll have a moderator check your IP making sure you're not the same person again and again spamming.

if you really wanted us to believe you guys, have at least 25-30 post (WHICH IS NOT A LOT AT ALL) under your belt. then, we'll probably believe you.

other wise when your device shipps take a picture of it with your user name written on a sticky note.

you'll prove yourself then.

digital images prove nothing. for all we know, those were photoshopped.
[Venue Pro General] CrownSeven:
And what reason would I have to lie? Go ahead, check my IP. Sheesh.

You sir have been added to the 'eat a crow sandwich' list.

Anyone else would like to be added?
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
OMG! It's here you guys! Mines just shipped this evening! It will aerive tomorrow...

look at my order status:

[Venue Pro General] kekado:
My order "shipped," I think. Try calling 1 800 433 9014 for their automated order status. I got the tracking number there even though nothing has changed on my order status page.

Only issue is that they shipped it to the TOTALLY WRONG ADDRESS.
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
hahaha... nice!
[Venue Pro General] zellbz:
Dec. 3 on contract.
[Venue Pro General] Wonderstruck80:
I don't give a S*&# what any of u guys say.. I'm just glad I did NOT place my order online so I don't have to go thru any of the s*%$ u guys are going thru...

Btw I went to my local microsoft store and got to play with the venue pro and its great, definately worth the wait (as long as all the issues have been addressed..)
[Venue Pro General] themadmen:
AAAHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my order is shipped!!!!!!!!!! :cool::D:);):p
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
post a screen shot. unaltered (*ahem, unlike the guys before you)
[Venue Pro General] themadmen:
there you go!!!:cool:
[Venue Pro General] Wonderstruck80:
freaking awesome... glad to see the first wave of shipments going out... I might actually order mine online now because dell sent me a 15% off coupon code.. :D All of u that received shipping notifications, when did u place your orders?
[Venue Pro General] themadmen:
I ordered mine 12/08/2010. :cool:
[Venue Pro General] audi09:
same here. (i need 8 posts to upload a pic, just cut and paste the address) :D

[Venue Pro General] raimeiken:
Im glad they're getting shipped out now, but why the hell are people that ordered later than Dec 1 getting theirs shipped out first? :confused:
[Venue Pro General] Wonderstruck80:
can someone give me some advice how to place oder online and take advantage of free 2 day shipping option? when i select 2 day shipping it tries to charge me $12...

[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
Furious

It appears it is legit. BUT I'm ****** ******. How can I order mine on the morning of 12/1 and people who ordered theirs days or even a week (12/8) get their phone before me?

Thats complete ********. I will be giving Dell a phone call first thing in the morning. Except... I'll be really polite in the hopes they will be able to expedite my order or something.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

MOD EDIT: Please cut out the bad language
[Venue Pro General] ANonymous627:
Its funny... Yesterday I gave up and bought another HD7. It was a great phone and I loved it. I got it home set it up and love it again... Dell has already shipped my Venue Pro to me and it will be delivered today by 3. Now I'll have both.

Mine shipped too it will come by 3 pm and I have homework to finish but after that I will play with this phone. Sadly HTC has a good YouTube program and that ticks me off. Show some YouTube love darn you.

I'm a bit happy...I should be typing but its 4 am o.O
[Venue Pro General] the_scotsman:
Thia thread is starting to get a little out of control.

I don't want to see any more bad language or flaming. It's obvious that Dell is now possibly starting to ship the VP...if you don't want to believe that, please keep it to yourself, don't abuse other members.

[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
got my confirmation email stating I will receive my DVP tomorrow. Sweet, hope its fully functional or Dell will get a ear full
[Venue Pro General] VenerableGnat:
Mine has also shipped. Should get it tomorrow!

I ordered the 8gb on the 2nd.
[Venue Pro General] Masonboy:
shipping

hello guys. yes, mine has shipped as well should get here today the 16th. i ordered mine on dec 1st. im not getting to excited until i have it in my hands. with all the posts, i just hope im not disapointed. is it the next jesus phone????
[Venue Pro General] bernaserra:
Glad to see you are getting yours but am really frustrated that I ordered on the first and still get screwed over.
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
Same here. I'm waiting for Lionel or Amy to tweet me back...

Maybe ours will go out today...

I BETTER not be stuck waiting til January
[Venue Pro General] SHAUN231:
just curious if your contract or non contract and did dell charge your card twice
[Venue Pro General] ComCypher:
I mentioned earlier that I ordered on-contract...did the other people who had theirs shipped also order on-contract? I'm just trying to help find a pattern, since it would seem that the order date doesn't seem to have much relevance.
[Venue Pro General] bernaserra:
Why they doing us dirty coop? lol
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
Dell has never "recharged" my card... did they yours?
[Venue Pro General] SHAUN231:
do you mind me asking what you paid. for some reason I added a line for the 16gb and got it pule 149.99 plus california tax. and no one else i talked too has got that price for the 16gb so far
[Venue Pro General] SHAUN231:
no they still have a hole for 198 on my card since the 3rd but i wonder if they will cancel my order for them charging me wrong
[Venue Pro General] ComCypher:
Yep I got the exact same thing, 149.99 + tax.
[Venue Pro General] patrickk:
Wow, no wonder it's so cold outside. Mine shipped last night as well! For some reason 2-day shipping instead of overnight (like other people). Here's my info in case it helps some people:

Order date: 12/1

Order time: 8:30am EST

Model: DVP 16GB

Contract: No

Coupon: 10% off accessories

Anything else in order: No

Original ship speed: 2 day

Ship speed after complaining: overnight

Acutal ship speed: 2 day

Ship date: 12/15

Arrival date: 12/17

Also, the only other thing I can think of adding is that after I comaplined one guy said he was "expediting" my order. Maybe that was the key????
[Venue Pro General] Masonboy:
yes, i ordered mine on contact. I just wanted to thank everybody on this forum for keeping us informed. I hope this phone is all its cracked up to be and I truly hope everybody gets thers in the next couple of days..I will keep you guys informed when it gets here and how it works..thanks
[Venue Pro General] Kotlicki:
My theory is as follows:

Whoever got a delayed message and did not compalin will eventually get his DVP at the delayed date. Instead of delaying everyone, Dell decided to delay only few (first buyers) so at least all the rest remain happy customers.

I'm sooooo happy I cancelled my order (original 12/15 delayed to 1/6)... I really don't want to know how many hardware patches they did in order to solve stabalize these handsets they are now shipping out....
[Venue Pro General] bernaserra:
If your theory is true then dell will miss out on thousands of dollars from me in the future.
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
wow.. I just talked to a dell MOBILITY rep and they truly are much more helpful (and nice) than the general reps
[Venue Pro General] SHAUN231:
do you have their direct number
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
Yea... 800-308-3355
[Venue Pro General] Kotlicki:
They already are....

After cancelling and since I was looking for a SIM free phone I bought the Omnia 7 from Expansys.... When I bought it they had 45 in stock (two days ago), today they have 21 in stock...

And think about all others that bought other devices from other places....
[Venue Pro General] raimeiken:
for all the ones that got their phones shipped, did you guys complain to dell before they shipped them out? because I haven't contacted dell yet, maybe that's why mine is still in production :(
[Venue Pro General] bernaserra:
What did they say?
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
I don't know who to believe

delll or fedex

dell says estimated delivery the 17th but fedex says estimated delivery for the 16th but it says only initiated =/
[Venue Pro General] patrickk:
Yes. Multiple times. As I said, one of the guys "expedited" my order (whatever that means).
[Venue Pro General] SHAUN231:
they were more helpful but limited in power
[Venue Pro General] sureloch:
I ordered two dvp's on the 1st without contract. They shipped the 8gb unit this morning, but the 16gb one I ordered has not shipped though it was on the same order. I did not complain at all.

Are they short on 16gb units?
[Venue Pro General] SHAUN231:
just spoke with a dell rep and DVP will start shipping tonight at 9pm pacific and midnight eastern. Finally the small wait is over. it seems like Dell wants to push out orders as fast as possible because of the Nexus S.
[Venue Pro General] dhafiz:
do you think that means for those who ordered 1-day shipping will get their phones tomorrow?
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
I would expect to see orders start shipping out this Friday at the latest for those who ordered for delivery next week. The Dell reps on twitter seem confident all known bugs are fixed with other fixes in the works so we should be good to go.

I imagine those who will be experiencing WP7 for the first time will be pretty happy when they get their device.
[Venue Pro General] themadmen:
I ordered mine today and i picked 1-day shipping. when can i expect mine to arrive???:)
[Venue Pro General] murdo119:
That we will see. If some people here started getting shipping notificaton tomorrow, then it is a good sign. If not, then bad news.
[Venue Pro General] SHAUN231:
from my experience with dell. There one day shipping is not actually one day if they start shipping right now then yes you would get it tomorrow but if they ship tonight then its technically a 2 day process
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
dell clarified to me saying if the orders are apart of the first shipment then devices should be here friday

if not monday is the earliest to expect it...as far as which devices are first shipment that's a tough question I don't know
[Venue Pro General] fathamburger:
I'm happy for the guys who are actually gonna get their phones shipped. Now it seems im not the only one that had their order cancelled from an overly picky verification process. Right now I have an Indian guy there who seems determined to cancel my order, even being a smarmy bastard about it.

Whatever happens I'm now pissed enough to complain after this
[Venue Pro General] Wonderstruck80:
Just spoke with local microsoft store and they said they're not expecting another shipment until end of Dec-early Jan so I started to place the order on dell's website with a preliminary ship date of 12/22. When I got to the final checkout screen, ship date changed to 1/3/11 and 2nd day shipping option was not free like it had stated on previous pages. No thanks, I'll wait til I can get the phone at the MS store..
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
I ordered mine the morning of the 1st (when it still said estimated shipping date was the 9th). I paid for 1 day shipping. But my estimated delivery date is the 14th! :confused: I soooo hope it comes the 10th... or if mine ships tonight and comes tmw that would be awesome!
[Venue Pro General] patrickk:
Not sure if anyone actually had a delivery date of the 10th or 11th (despite the ship date being the 9th). I ordered mine just before 9am est on the 1st and I've always had a scheduled delivery date of 12-15 (use the free 2 day shipping).
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
That gives me hope!!!

Yea, perhaps they used the 14th just in case there were any problems.

Or, did any of you ACTUALLY have an estimated delivery date of the 10th (for 1 day shipping) or 11th?
[Venue Pro General] dhafiz:
I ordered early in the AM on the 1st, and my estimated delivery date has been the 14th from the beginning. When I spoke to the rep, they said there's a good chance it'll ship out earlier - so a shipping date of either the 9th/10th is a pretty solid guess.
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
a 9th shipping and same day is too much like right though it happened with my boots from payless =)

maybe dell will surprise us

we'll see about it though bt I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get it tomorrow

let's see who gets the magical email/or shipped status
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
One thing to do is sign up for email notification of when your order ships, should be the quickest way to know.
[Venue Pro General] dhafiz:
Any updates, anyone? Did anyone get the "Shipped" email or see their status change on the order page?
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
I didn't. I know someone said a Dell rep told them they will be shipping out tonight (the 8th) but I don't know how accurate that it. I'm expecting (hoping) to see mine shipped tmw morning (of the 9th) or early afternoon! :D
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
I highly doubt if anyone's. Dvp has shipped today or tomorrow.not until next week.
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
Nahhhh.... shipping out tomorrow! it HAS to... ;)
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
Even with all the issues, bugs, delays etc... the thing I HATE most about the launch of the DVP is the fact that Dell's reps are COMPLETELY CLUELESS on the phone! It seems the only people that know anything are Michael Dell himself and maybe a couple project managers. :mad:

...And even they may not be sure of the next move..
[Venue Pro General] themadmen:
I haven't contacted dell at all and my phone got shipped last night. :cool:
[Venue Pro General] raimeiken:
are all the one's getting shipped 8gb versions?

I ordered a 16gb and still in production...
[Venue Pro General] raimeiken:
that's great to know. I hate talking to dell reps over the phone :o
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
someone on here said theres is a 16GB that is being shipped.. at least 1 person said that

but a rep JUST told me on the phone that it is the 16gb versions that are taking longer...so maybe that is true..
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
was yours 8GB or 16GB?
[Venue Pro General] patrickk:
Mine was a 16gb and shipped last night. Shoot. Now I'm paranoid that they screwed up and shipped the wrong version!
[Venue Pro General] PolishDude:
lol i cancelled my 12/2 order yesterday but i wasnt about to pay a 15% restocking fee if i didnt like a phone i couldnt even handle before i bought
[Venue Pro General] VenerableGnat:
When I ordered, I made sure I talked to someone to because i was upgrading and did NOT want my plan altered. During the order the guy said the shipping date would say 27th, but it would likely ship before then. Around the 10th I replied to his order confromation email, calling him out on his claim and said Id really like to have it this friday before i head home for the holiday.

Perhaps this made a difference, i dunno, anyway it never hurts to be a bit aggressive with sales people, just dont go nuts on them unless its jusitified. Which by now it kinda is.
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
Can someone who has their phone shipped please post their order number ONLY?

The dell supervisor said if he can look at an order that is already shipped he may be able to tell me why mine hasn't shipped or what is going on.

Preferably someone who has a 16GB shipped... but any will do

Thanks
[Venue Pro General] themadmen:
16GB without contract paid full price.:cool:
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
can you post your order number please???
[Venue Pro General] Masonboy:
hello everyone. I just recieved my phone. I ordered the 16gb verision. it is a cool phone. going to start it up and see if it works....keep you posted
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
can you PLEASE post your order number ONLY?

The dell supervisor said if he can see an order thats already shipped (in this case delivered) he may be able to tell me whats up with my order...
[Venue Pro General] themadmen:
picture please of the package!!!:cool:
[Venue Pro General] yourlife:
Man I really hope I get mine before the weekend so I can mess with it. I ordered mine extremely early on the first and am a little ticked off that someone who ordered as mush as a week after me will get their device before I do.
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
Now no one wants to speak up???
[Venue Pro General] benjaminries:
I ordered the 16GB without contract on the evening of Dec. 1st and had an original estimated delivery date of Dec. 17th, but got an email like many others earlier this week giving me a new estimated delivery date of Jan 10th.

My Del lstatus page is still showing Jan 10th ETA, still says "In Production", but when I click for details I see the shipping method has been changed to 2nd day shipping. I see no BT headset.

Is anybody else in my boat? Why are some of the orders on Dec. 1 changing while others aren't?
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
I hope it arrives today as the fedex site estimates it...this time ... shoot I'm getting all of my work done EARLY
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
Tell me about it. I'm furious. Maybe I can hope for a pleasant email later today?
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
can you post your order number please?
[Venue Pro General] raimeiken:
just send it in a PM if you guys don't want to share your order numbers on here.
[Venue Pro General] raimeiken:
holy crap Im jealous! :(

can you post pics of it turned on please?!

oh and also can you tell us how the camera performs now? I would like to know if it has improved from the first batch of phones :D

[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Guys, can one of you who received the phone or had it shipped, please PM cccooper the order #? It will really help the community.
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
I thought it was pmed o.O
[Venue Pro General] raimeiken:
hmmm... I don't think anyone has.... LOL
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
I don't think anyone did..If you are referring to Post #601, that poster is requesting the same.
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
Thanks!

Any order numbers from people who placed their order AFTER the 1st?
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
just sent my order number...via pm

so let's see but my fedex hasn't updated at all and its 9:30 AM I really REALLY REALLY hope it is in my hands this afternoon oh and

OVER 900 POSTS

...

9000 sounds better
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
^^^- these weren't because no one had pmed me... but I'm just really frustrated that orders placed after mine received theirs before me. My original delivery date was the 14th...
[Venue Pro General] Kyzgar:
No update on mine yet. I tried the phone number, but it's still saying 1/6.

Ordered Dec 1, 9am EST, 16GB, No contract. :(
[Venue Pro General] bernaserra:
I called and was given the same 1-4-11 spoke a sup who xfered me who knows where but I had to hang up and go back to work. I am so angry about their service.
[Venue Pro General] patrickk:
Something I just noticed. According to FedEx, they picked up my package yesterday at 5:51pm. I spoke with Dell via chat last night just before 10pm and they were telling me it would arrive January 5th and they had no further information (and were totally clueless).

My order status remained the same until sometime in the middle of last night when I got an email stating it had shipped. Who knows, maybe there's another batch ready to go out today but people won't find out until tomorrow.
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
pretty sure I am in tomorrow camp

I want to be in today but the package was only initiated no further fedex information sent so I'll be surprised if I am holding it today
[Venue Pro General] DeekoVB5:
Hmm...so I go out of town on Tuesday...I'd sure love to have my phone before then...come on Dell, you can do it. I ordered early on 12/1. Send her out today or tomorrow...please?
[Venue Pro General] themadmen:
Mine is At dest sort facility JAMAICA, NY :cool:
[Venue Pro General] SHAUN231:
apoke with friends and dell reps it seems different sales team are to blame. lets say you order on12/1 but your rep doesnt have to push yor sell through at the time, me and 60 friends order dvp from team blackhawk at dell at different times n day n all have same ship date
[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:
dont worry we're all in the same boat. none of us got their dvp yet. those that have, have given us no proof that its either delivered or shipped.

no hard evidence has been given. period. that means all those otherposters are spammer and you can ignor them.
[Venue Pro General] raimeiken:
i thought this was all automated?

like a first come first served basis
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
No, some have been shipped. Even a "senior" member on here says his was shipped. Also, if you call into Dell Mobility they can verify it. I even have the order number of someone and a Dell Mobility manager has verified to me it has been shipped.

Not spammers.
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
if only mine would show up in chicago at least by noon I would know that I'm getting the thing today
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
The only thing they have told me is if there is any variation in the order.

Well... the only variation is 8GB and 16GB...

But there have been 16GBs (ordered days after mine) that have shipped, according to posters here... so I have no idea.
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
No, I'm not sure about that. I was told that once they are placed they are in a queue in the order they are received- according to a dell mobility manager.

Also, what about online orders then?
[Venue Pro General] raimeiken:
I just hope that there won't be anymore major issues with this phone since they delayed it this long
[Venue Pro General] cccooper:
AND "@DellCares" on twitter just confirmed to someone that his DVP was shipped and is estimated to be delivered by mid afternoon

As frustrating as it is to believe, there are people getting their devices today... just not you or I
