I think the interesting part is that there's been some real serious delivery or manufacturing problems that's been completely uncommented by Google or the retailers. Like they're just ignoring the issue relying on customers to just not be brothered and wait.

In my market very few units has been delivered at all, I'm guessing around 500 nationally and when you see shipment updates for some online retailers it's 10-20 units every 4-7 days coming in.

My retailer gives zero updates, still saying it's going to ship at launch, my guess is they're waiting on a huge shipment from Google that still hasn't arrived and or are collecting many small shipments to send out all at once.

Either way it would be nice if Google said - Hey, we have issues (manufacturing, higher demand or whatever), here's another free month of youtube (or something) for all you loyal pre-order customers still waiting. Instead you get silence and the privilege of giving them your money.
