You guys might want to add whether it's a preliminary shipping date or if it actually says it shipped on that date... i.e. is Mattalter's supposed to ship today, or has he already received a shipping confirmation?

I guess we can update when we get a real shipping date, but if it's in the future it is implicit that is likely subject to change.

I pretty much ordered all the accessories (including the two types of case), and everything has shipped except for the tablet, the keyboard and the dock.

I wanted NFC but the mess up with the " security feature" ended up affecting my order. My consolation is that I don't see much use for it in the tablet if you have it on the phone, considering I will not do any transactions with the tablet it would just be extra weight...
