I ordered a 32GB white and silver one on Oct 23, it shipped on Oct 26 (standard shipping, not expedited) and is scheduled to arrive here on Nov 1. At the time I ordered it, it said delivery would be not be until around Nov 5-7. So was pleasantly surprised when I got the item-shipped notice with the Nov 1 delivery date.
Update 10/29: wow, FedEx brought it today! They brought stuff this afternoon that was scheduled for today, Wednesday and Thursday. They must have been just trying to clear everything possible out of the Binghamton FedEx depot because of possible flooding later on from Sandy (although it looks like we're getting less water and maybe even less wind than originally forecast).
