There is no other topic about the unboxing the DX... The one video on this page, is the only one so far...
You're right, it's an earlier post in this thread by Powertoold. |

Wow, the K2's screen looks so small in comparison to the DX's. I said I wasn't going to get one of these, but now I think I'm having some DX envy..........I also wonder how comfortable it is to hold since there is less room around the keyboard. Can't wait for the reviews to start rolling in.

Progress for me - my Kindle DX status is now "Shipping Soon", with an estimated ship date of June 15. Yes! Much better!

Nice pics at Engadget. We know the K2 is a teensy bit thinner than the DX - here's a pic that shows the difference:  |

In the back of my mind, when I first saw the DX, I thought the keys were in an awkward position. The thought hadn't hit me until today when I saw the new hands-on YouTube video. I imagine I'd have a hard time positioning my hand to use the keyboard since it's so low. |

Yeah it didn't cross my mind until I saw this video... It's easier to type on the K1 and K2...

There is a noticeable lack of real estate on the front for pretty skins also.

This is driving me crazy still no shipping notice. I have tomorrow off. It is the little girl I take care Birthday. Her mom is going to pick her up from school and spend the afternoon with her. So she does not need me to come in. I hope my DX has shipped and I just have not gotten the notice yet.

Techflash gave it a C+, yikes  . I don't have one, but I imagine I'd give it a higher rating if I did. It can't be that much different than k2, and it is definitely an A  . I will say, I do agree about the touch screen. I have the Sony 700 and I use the buttons to turn pages, but I can highlight and add notes 10 times faster on the Sony 700 than I could the k2. If they want a strong college market, my bet is that is the next big change to Dx, not necessarily touch screen, but really making the note and highlights easier. |

Me too! Unfortunately, they shipped via UPS. Darn it. UPS usually gets here right at 5:00pm or they miss the 5:00pm deadline for deliveries where I live and have to come back the next day. I'll cross my fingers that they make it! |

Finally got my shipping notice. I've had some shipping notices come pretty late from amazon, but I was starting to get worried! This was probably my latest. Should be here tomorrow via UPS.
They usually come in the late morning here, so I'm wondering if I should stay home a little later tomorrow so that I don't miss it if they need a signature. I really don't want to have to wait until Friday to get it.

Finally got my notice, and UPS tracking confirms only that a label has been printed -- not that they've actually received the package.  |

UPS delivers pretty late here too. Though, the package arrives on the estimated delivery date, I hate sitting at home all day waiting for it. Though, my last delivery - UPS came around 10 AM! I was shocked. I hope that tomorrow will be a repeat. I have a summer class that I will be at from 8 to 2, but hopefully, it'll be waiting for me when I get home!
I am so happy I will be able to be home tomorrow. My UPS usually delivers after 5pm. Sometimes I am lucky and get it between 10am and 2PM. I am going to leave a notice by my bell to make sure they ring the bell. I better not see that they tried to deliver and no one was home. UPS usually leaves my packages next door at the laundry Mat. I have school work I need to finish. I will do that while I want for the delivery. |

I thought I was going to be left out; but just got my shipping and welcoming notices. Was busy downloading stuff to Big Fred with my next breath. Whew! I'm on the West Coast so I guess I got left with the last bunch. I WAS going to stay home tomorrow, but will go into work as they deliver in the afternoon. At home they don't deliver till 6 or 7pm, so I always have the 'good' stuff sent to the office. I think I'm going to have to go to Target to find something to put my DX in until I figure out how I'm going to protect him. iPhone is Wilma, Kindle 2 is Fred (but she's a girl). I'm picturing Big Fred as a guy, though. |

I am happy you finally got your shipping notice . I just happen to get the day off. I think I will stay around and wait. I hope I am lucky and My DX (Alexis) comes early between 10am and 2pm. I have school work to do. I will do that while I wait. |
