Even the amazing Alan and his sources are not infallible. Remember, the first communication from Alan was that the whole deal was bogus to begin with. I seriously doubt that NEC will fail to honor their warranties. Note, that this is the first line of defense for all dealers. They always say the warranty will be invalid. However, I've yet to come across a case where one has not been.
A two week delivery delay is disappointing, but at this price, is a reasonable trade-off in my opinion. Certainly more acceptable than not shipping at all which is what some of us, including me, half expected to happen.
My recommendation is to ride the storm. This is a great price on a heck of a little HT performer. However, if you can't stomach the ride on the false information train, or feel like a moral obligation has been violated by Dell, then save yourself the pain and call and cancel now.
