Tada! Finally preparing for shipment!
XX:05 order. (USA). Space gray with a black band. Originally a 4 to 6 week delivery time frame.
I am admittedly a fanboy. I've bought every Apple gadget the minute it has been available to order. This is the first time ever that I have not gotten delivery on launch day. I was really bummed.
But it is a first world problem. So I decided to put it out of my mind. I setup an alert on my bank account to let me know of any charge that came in greater than $300, and then I went about my weekend. I went to the gym. I finished an update to one of my apps. And I got done a ton of lingering house projects.
It was almost dinner time today, and I was leaving Home Depot with some supplies I needed, and I realized I hadn't checked my phone all day, and sure enough, at shortly after noon (EST) Sunday, Apple charged my card, and my order is now preparing for shipment.
