Hehe I'll be putting 12 hrs in the rest of the week.
Throwing this out there to give some hope to those like me who read everyone's post anxiously awaiting updates...
Ordered 64GB Graphite and Nexus Protect on 9/29 at 1:57:04 PM CST, showed anticipated arrival of 11/10-11/12
Google Play account settings showed "Should leave warehouse by 11/5" at some point last week or prior (so many refreshes!)
Status changed from Preorder to Pending last week sometime. Then on Friday to Processing.
Monday I was notified by my cc it had been charged at 11AM CST, just for phone +taxes looking at the amount, by GOOGLE SERVICES.
Cancel order option removed on Google Store & Google Play.
Today at 2:12PM CST my cc notified me of a charge equivalent to Nexus Protect + taxes, again, by GOOGLE SERVICES.
Today at 2:10PM CST I received "Great News" from the Google Store with email and tracking number. FedEx shipping from Carol Stream, IL to Houston, TX (free shipping option) says it should arrive by end of the day Thursday!
Status shows shipped on Google Store now too, by the way.
If it comes this week at all that is a good two weeks before the original anticipated arrival date. This guy is pleased!
As far as I can see it is still going on a first come first served basis, depending on the color and capacity. I ordered 6 hours after the launch and my 64Gb aluminium is still pending.

Same here. Boo. We got the shaft with the 64GB Aluminums!
I'm not sure if the correct response is "it's not the complicated" or "it's more complicated than you think".
I don't work at google but as someone who's done work in more plants than I care to recall it's not just a simple 1 assembly line first in first out system.
You keep saying it's a head scratcher so let's just examine 2 parts of the system and pretend we're google here.
1. You have to forecast demand, if you guessed you'd sell 1 million 32 gig models in the first week and you actually sell 5 million you are obviously going to have to start pushing back estimated delivery dates.
2. As orders come in you assign them to be fulfilled at certain manufacturing locations. Each location will have a different part inventory and lead time when it comes to assembling. So plant A and plant B are not going to finish orders at the same rate.
If you think about it in very simple terms it's not hard to figure out why orders process at different speeds (and this didn't even touch on shipping). Even go a step further and think that if plant A is fulfilling orders faster than plant B new orders will get sent to A and may ship before older orders that are at B.
I can't stress this enough, this is not just 1 line making phones, pulling from the same inventory and making each unique phone as the order is placed. The world just doesn't work like that.
