Just checked ups.com. Mine is finally on the way, as well, with a delivery date of 09/19. That's really only 2 business days longer than promised and a total of 7 days since ordered. I guess that's not too bad. I'm just glad it didn't turn out to be like the 8700g extended batteries...which still aren't shipping yet. Ironically, I'left for Europe yesterday and won't be back to the states until Saturday so my pearl is going to sit at the office until then...oh well.
