I just got mine in time. I have had a look at the mini roadmap and can see that the 10v doesn't have WWAN planned where as the mini 10 using the a series atom does. Perhaps this is going to be the replacement for telcos.

Dell have really messed up on the 10v IMO. It maybe cheap and it now allows you to have a full 2.5" SSD or HDD, but the tradeoff is upgradeability.

Looking at the tweets of many Dell employees, they seem obsessed with Android on netbooks. Please don't do an arm based mini 9 or 7.

Perhaps the mini 9 is to make way for a Adamo 9? Let's hope so!

Hi, I happened to find an article on Toms hardware that had a link to what was supposed to be a $200 Mini 9. Although the $200 offer seems to have expired, the good part is that I was still able to configure and checkout my cart with the Mini 9. Looks like Dell's removed the Mini 9 upfront but there's still a back door open! Here's the link for those who want to place an order before the Mini 9 ordering option disappears for good: The Dell Online Store: Build Your System Hope this helps! Have a great weekend IJ, Cary

Hi,
For some reason, the link I posted in my first message has been replaced by a "Dell home....". Although it seems to work, here's the original link:
hppt://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=DNDOXZ1&s=dhs&dgc=C J&cid=27811&lid=981910
Replace the hppt up front with an http. I had to change this to prevent the link from being obscured similar to my first post.

Interesting. I wonder how many folks will be able to order and receive the Mini 9s this way before DELL really turns off the spigot?

Up to six now - 2 black and 4 PINK.

Just took a looksy at the outlet myself, all pink except for one black at the moment... And they definitely aren't kickin out any deals on remaining stock, because the one black is configured EXACTLY as I bought mine: XP, 8gb, 1gb, blah blah blah... They want $349 for it and just two months ago I bought mine "Previously Ordered New" for $189, WEEEHOOOO!!!

Dell would know that it is the current owners and not perspective buyers complaining and they would just blow us off...

a single tear for the mini 9.

as noted earlier, vostro a90 is still there for 294. from what i heard, however, upgrades are a hassle.

I ordered mine off the Canadian site last night as soon as I saw the article about it being discontinued. I hope I still get it, i've been looking forward to putting OSX on it for a while now.
