My card also got charged today. Apple seem to be pretty good at shipping within the stated time frame (7 - 10 business days), so our orders could be on a plane by Friday.

It seems that all those who have ordered the 17" have to wait. I ordered mine on the 26th and will probably see it sometime around 7th to 15th of November! That's what's happening all over.
Hello!
Did you order yours from the Japanese store?
The guy at the Apple Store in Ginza, from where I expect to walk in and purchase a stock 17" Japanese MBP (with Japanese keyboard, yes), has upgraded his attitude from "I'll call you when they come in" to "I think they're coming soon."
I asked him if Tokyo being closer to Shanghai than most of the rest of the Mac-buying world affected the shipping times, and he said, "Sort of."
HmmmmMMMM.
Ordered mine today

Well the 100GB/7200 RPM drive subtracts 100 (way better option, you can buy another drive for that money when bigger 7200 RPM drives are available IMHO), and the modem costs 55.
Did you order trough your university (Apple on Campus) or directly through the apple edu store? In the normal apple edu store you are getting only 10% discount, on the store of the university (Apple on Campus) you will get ~12% discount.
Never been to the Osaka store, no. I seldom am able to leave Tokyo : ( Next time I'm down there, I'll check it out, though.
I suppose there's absolutely no reason whatsoever, then, to stop in at the Ginza store on the way home from work, is there? Probably no reason at all. Absolutely no reason at all.
. . . Maybe I'll go there anyway? I mean, it's something to do. And it's on the way.
. . . . . . Helllllll, we have a three-day weekend; it would have really been nice to have the MBP all weekend. Just because. I guess I'll have to march in there next Tuesday and put my hands on my hips and say "I know you have them!! Bring one to me now!!"
This situation is getting outright shameful.
I ordered mine through the online store with the edu discount there. Everytime I tried to speak to the apple (student) rep on campus she was gossiping with a friend. I never realised that there was an extra 2% to be saved... Mind you I think she was still plugging the old MBPs. I may invest in a hybrid drive when they come out later next year...
All the Apple stores are on the way in japan if you catch the right shinkansen

my "on the way" is an 1:10 minute drive - which, for no reason I did today. At least, got to correct phone number on my name in que and speak with them about testing (for wayward pixels at purchase time). No problem with that, and if bad, they'll make it right. the upshot: nope, they didn't come in today. But, they are in the 'any day now" feeling. Probably should get to sleep, in case "the call" comes in.
waiting on:
MBP C2D 17" 2.33GHz 2GB 160GB
been upgrading from PB 17" 1.67, so have already bought the following to support transistion from PCCard to ExpressCard/34:
Compact Flash ExpressCard/34 adapter (Delkin, B&H Photo) - hangs out slighly to provide wider slot for CF $69
Belkin Media adapter (SD,XD, etc.) ExpressCard/34 (Fry's) - fits flush in computer slot, even flat with SD card installed. $35
bought new LSP from OWC (Leather Screen Protector). Covers the entire keyboard, trackpad and palmrests. It's my 4th (plus gifts) and work great. screen just gets even coat of dust after bit, but no marks whatsoever. The leather stays clean. I just whip it with back of hand or shirt. Treat screen (and rest of computer) with iKleen. Being antistatic, it keeps the dust down for awhile. so, unless something get stuck on scren, it's spit or drip of drink or ? Anyway, it all cleans off.
Need a good source of OEM WIN-XP SB2 for boot camp experiment. Any thoughts? found these guys: http://www.pricegrabber.com/user_sales_getprod.php?masterid=4197922&lot_id=3620736. Seems lie the way to go, as I'm not evey sure how much I'll dual boot once Paralles get h/w directX support. Sounds like it's on their list.
so has no one even had their 17" MBP shipped yet?
I am not sure if my card has been charged but i guess if it is not BTO then the card will be charged once shipped.
I ordered on 24th October here in UK and my shipping date is 7th Nov, well thats the 10 working days stated in the "Shipping within 7-10 working days" but the the 7th working day since order is today, so i think mine will ship today (Thursday), Friday, Monday or Tuesday
Once shipped it days it will be delivered on 14th, which is 5 working days from the said shipping date. So if it ships today and it takes 5 working days, i might have it next Thursday, But I am hoping it takes less thank 5 working days to go from China to UK.
Fingers crossed!!

I am now seeing the same thing. Yesterday I was able to cancel today I cannot. This bodes well for us who ordered the 17" MBP. Just for everyone's information, I chose a stock 17" other than a glossy instead of matte screen. I saw them side by side in the Apple store and prefer the glossy. Here's to hoping it ships early next week. I am moving on the 22nd so it better be here before then.
I just checked and i can cancel my order, so i guess mine in not shipping today, i wish they would hurry up!
According to order status, my MBP C2D 17" ships on 11-7-06, and should arrive by 11-13-06. However, I paid for 2-3 day shipping, and when I emailed Apple about this, they said it should arrive "on or before 11-10-06." And my new shuffle arrives tomorrow...
Just been onto the apple sales team in Ireland and besides being told that it will ship on 7th and be delivered on 15th the guy did confirm it was in production right now.
Can't believe I may have to wait 13 more days though...

ordered 10/24/06 0624 PST - 01:24 PM GMT mmmm 3 minutes after yours ?? I can not cancel my order any more - can you ?
When I try to cancel I get to a new page where I can cancel and give them a reason for cancellation. I won't try any further than that! haha Would kill me if I actually managed to cancel it just to see if I could..
But I take it I can cancel since it gives me that page?

Yes, that is where I stopped yesterday as well. However today it does not give me that option anymore it just states what I said in a previous post. I keep refreshing my order page and I keep checking the credit card but sofar no shipping info.
ordered Oct 24, 2006 at 06:39 AM PST, just tried canceling order and got the same results as previous posts. Looks like they are in production.
