Pre-ordered the 32 GB without touch cover + type cover on 10.17. The type cover has shipped with an ETA of 10.26. I called MS Store support and they said that my tablet would also ship to deliver on 10.26, even though my order status does not say anything.
I ordered the 32 GB with touch cover, along with an extra charger. My invoice says delivered on 10/26, but it hasn't shipped yet. But at least they charged my card this afternoon.
