System build status

I understand that many have or are still waiting for their orders from Dell and I really wish I had done more research prior to placing my order, but I really wanted a laptop and Dell actually offered me financing. Anyhow after seeing how bad production times have been how long is realistic to wait before worrying that my laptop order hasn't even began production and/or isn't going to arrive? I ask because my order shows three different status depending on the page I am on and has been like this for 5 days.

My Order Status page shows N/A for the EDD and Work in Progress for the Status
Order Details page shows 1/21/2010 for the EDD and In Progress for the Status
My Account page shows N/A for the EDD and Pre Production for the Status

Thanks for any information.
