So, after 2 weeks and 6 days, my iPhone 7 Plus, matte black, 128GB, has ARRIVED! (Origianl estimate was: Ships 2-3 weeks, Delivers: 9-16 December). It arrived 5 December!
It's bulky and heavier than I imagined or remembered from the stores! But it's nice. Just takes some getting-used to.
After 5 minutes, I called AppleCare to register a new AppleCare+ plan for the phone. 149EUR. But in my opinion, it's worth it. They've always helped me out when I needed it.
Overall, I'm delighted! Oh, and upgrading from 11.8GB usable storage to over 114GB is A-MAZ-ING!
Finally I can actually use my phone for music, photos and more apps!!!
Thanks everyone!

Awesome....Very happy for you. I just purchased a Rhinoshield for my JB. Will be here tomorrow.
Ordered a new case and tempered glass from JFTech (amazon.es) still no word from Apple. They haven't taken my money yet thus far.
Stillt tracked for December 22th. In the meanwhile my S6 Edge in an hour loses 40% of battery lol.

JETech you mean? Yeah I've used their glass screen protectors for a very long time. Always been very happy!
The cash will leave your account a day before it will begin to dispatch. That's when you know it's on the way!
Enjoy.

I also bought the apple silicone case, but not really liking it. I may return for the black leather.

Awesome news
I've been using this Ringke case on my iPhone and been really liking it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product...oo-21&linkId=063379093cffecc7c594d4493b806148
I used the same model (Ringke Fusion) on my iPhone 6 since 2014 and never had a problem with drops.
I also bought some cheap Bluetooth headphones on Amazon and I've been blown away with the quality: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product...oo-21&linkId=258a419a7fc4ad638f56b628d690e2ee
I'm enjoying the 7 Plus. The first day was a little weird getting used to the size, but now it's perfect! Battery life is insane, and speaker quality is fantastic. Overall, super happy!

I assume you're in Europe like me? Mine's been the 22nd since I ordered two weeks ago, no movement. I think they're caught up in the US.
Edit: Yeah, 1-3 days dispatch in the US, 10 business days in Europe.

Yep, in Portugal. Also 2 weeks here, iPhone 7 Plus Matte Black 32GB
My friends are ordering their Plus matte black too and getting January 7th and others Jan 12th.
My Rhinoshield arrived. Although it appears to be a solid case, Unfortunately it does not play well with my BSE. Too tight, and if I force the case on, I ruin the BSE. So I am sticking with my BSE and my Spigen liquid crystal case. Other than a few watermarks which I can always release, my JB shows thru pretty nicely. Not as glossy, more of a deep dark swallowing black. But then again, I am not using my phone as some sort of fashion statement

Heads up, mine just moved to "Preparing for dispatch", so I expect yours will soon too

Just happened! Money has been withdrawn too.
Ordered 12/10, with pickup availability (PDX) 12/23. Ready for pickup 12/9. Picked up 12/13. While I'm glad it was early, or I would have had to wait until 12/27 to pickup, I was out of the country when it showed up. Hard to wait those few days, knowing it was sitting there waiting for me.
Restore from backup unfortunately only preserved some of the app layout.
