"Unannounced ship date" is not the same as "order shows as 'complete', payment is taken, but there is no information anywhere as to when you'll get your device, or if it has been shipped or not. Is it lost in the post? Stolen? Who knows."
Compare this to Apple, who give you fairly accurate ship dates and tracking numbers once shipped.
