Another rep told someone here who ordered much later to expect delivery around 12/10. Take everything those reps tell you with more than a grain of salt. My experience was that it's usually much better to ask for the cell phone department, and then insist that they check with their supervisors before accepting their answer. It looks like they are starting to move pretty fast with the latest reported "prepare for shipping" notifications at October 10. By the way, I ordered on 11/06 as well.
