I was a 1-2 week who got bumped to 11/3. 95% of us ordered T-mobile phones within 5 minutes directly from Apple. The general consensus is there was a glitch of some sort, so it wasn’t really a bump. Prior to the bump there were only two people who ordered a T-mobile phone through Apple that received a launch day order.
Verizon user here, my 64gb Black got a nov 3 date but my wife’s silver was nov 10-17, checked last night and hers was bumped too Nov 3 as well. So it’s not just TMobile
I doubt delivery dates in the 2-3 week group will get moved up until the phones hit preparing to ship status. I think the phones will arrive earlier but Apple,will not adjust delivery dates until the phones are ready to go out the door. This is how it worked for me with previous launches. It also allows Apple some flexibility to juggle the queue a bit at their discretion while maintains their original promise.
There are few Verizon users that got bumped to Nov 3 from Nov 10-17...you're probably the second Verizon user I've read that got the nov 10-17 date in these forums. From the Nov 10-17 check-in thread, it looks like any or all T-mobile users that got in an order within the first 7 minutes was automatically given Nov 10-17 if choosing delivery instead of in-store pickup. I don't believe there were any AT&T users with Nov 10-17 delivery.
Only Apple knows why all or the majority of T-mobile users were given that 1-2 week shipping period initially and then bumped/corrected to release day. The T-mobile GSM only phones are the only ones that you can buy without entering provider info, and cannot be bought online with the iPhone Upgrade Program as a new member. That's the only difference I can see as to why T-Mobile phones got kicked down a week for delivery. The Nov 3 bump may have a correction after evaluating the supply chain.
I don't think Nov 17-23 will be getting it Nov 3.
HOWEVER, I think you can see it ship around release date to arrive the following week. I think having it by the 9th or 10th isn't impossible.

This is what I’m kind of hoping and would be satisfied with
