I'm in the exact same situation. Citibank's fraud alert triggered on Friday with the attempted charge from MS, so I called them to unblock the card. Then I called the MS Store and the rep swore things were ok with the order. Well, it didn't ship yesterday as planned, so I called MS Store again. Now they've "escalated", but I still have no info on if/when the order will ship or what the problem actually is. My wife is a very unhappy, she is a Microsoft Certified Trainer Regional Lead, and a consultant for MS Dynamics. This "store" can't even help the very people that promote MS products.
OH Y E A H my credit card was charged sp2 on the way.....

Mississauga brother! nice to know north of the border has love for the surface.
i had an update that said delivery today...it got changed to tomorrow. is there a reason to live anymore?
Haha, mine updated to out for delivery today! Very excited.
My Surface is out for delivery, excellent. I find it hilarious that the mass media (and usual Apple fanatics, nothing new there) are harping on the launch party being fail or whatever, but I suspect most people preordered and... c'mon, if Surface users are more likely to use their devices for practical functionality, don't forget that it's a WEEKDAY and some of us have to, you know, work the next morning. Who has time for a weekday midnight cult party unless we're talking pure entertai--? Oh, right... 
Once again the "official reviews" skirt the edge of incompetency, even if they're half-decent this time around. I don't think those people should be in the business of writing reviews unless they give devices an honest take at use cases. Once again the media---and this makes sense to me since mass media in this internet age is essentially entertainment fluff---is obsessed with highlighting "lack of apps." As far as I know, the kind of consumer who appreciates both Surface lines place much lower priority on the app store. This is borne out in the user reviews, certainly.
Ultimately, as long as MS continues to send out patches and support for my device, I don't care what else happens. It's MY shiny precious. Or it will be once the delivery person knocks on my door, dammit.

People who have honestly looked at them notice that while yes, there aren't as many apps, what is there is usually of very good quality. And they integrate with the UI very well. I use my Xperia for media consumption, and I can do that on the Surface plus be more productive. It's a win/win for me.
