This moment I got the following message:
Subject: Your Order XXXX Has Been Delayed
Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2010 05:44:29 -0400
Dear XXXX,
America has fallen in love with NOOK.
Demand has exceeded all expectations, and unfortunately, we're unable to ship your NOOK in the time frame we stated in our previous email. We expect to ship your order by 07-23-2010. Once your NOOK arrives, you'll discover a whole new way to enjoy books - everywhere and anywhere.
Please know, you will not be charged for your order until it leaves our warehouse.
However, if you would like to cancel this portion of your order, you may do so online at:

Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay.

Delayed for 1 month (!!!), but not cancelled - to Germany!
