I ordered gps midnight black aluminum with a sport loop right at 8 am EST and had a 10/15 delivery date. But after thinking abou it and figuring out some of the carrier deals, I decided to try cellular again and a different band (leather link), so I cancelled my original order and am now in the 11/2-9 camp. I don’t mind waiting but am hoping that Apple under promises/over delivers as it often does on delivery dates. May also check for in store possibilities on or around launch day as I live in NYC and there are so many stores (and not so many tourists these days).
