There's a thread on Xda-developers about a bunch of people in the same boat, doesn't look too promising tbh. But what can you do but wait until the 19th before we can actually complain.
I spoke to someone, using the 0800 number, today and they said nothing that hasn't been said above. I'm in that 1-2 week waiting bracket as well. I just hope I get it before Christmas, but I doubt it by the looks of it.
