Mine's shipped. I wouldn't have survived waiting through the free super saver.

But it's a DAMN good thing I ordered it yesterday.

Geminiabode,

look at the estimated shipping date on your order page on Amazon. I ordered mine on Oct 14th and they gave me an estimated shipping date on October 20th............
When October 16th came and of course no shipping, I just couldn't resist. I changed from free shipping to regular shipping (only $4.99) and they shipped it on the 17th with an estimated delivery between October 21st and October 23rd.

If you are going to lose your sleep over this, I suggest you spend those five bucks!!!!!!

Tried to change it to Normal shipping but I cant  
Shipping Soon
These orders are being prepared for shipment and cannot be changed.
   â€¢ Order placed on October 14

I guess I have to keep waiting for some more time.

FYI, I just called Amazon Customer Service.  Explained that I had placed an order and that a free SD offer had appeared the next day.  After a couple of minutes confirming the status, the representative added the SD card to my order for free.

So the deal gets even better (if you ordered before the 18th )!  Of course YMMV on whether all CS reps will be so accommodating.

My order was place on the 17th and the status just changed (within the last hour) to "Shipped".

Ordered it Sunday, here Wednesday...even though it was only a few days, the wait was torture.

But not quite as torturous as waiting for it to charge. I had to turn it on to make sure there were no dead pixels, though. Such a beautiful screen! I was scared to death when I saw a few specs, but they blew away easily.

I can't wait to throw a screen protector on it and to start using it.
