IPhone 5 orders really going to be October 26th?

I didn't really want the iPhone 5, so I did not pre-order the first go around. Now that my friends got it and I have messed around with one I wanted it, so I ordered one but says it won't ship until Octover 26th! Is this for real? Or just an estimate date? Any experience.

Same happened with me on Verizon. And it will be shipped BY October 26th, not on that date (probably).So it should come the week of the 26th or the week before if you're lucky.

Hope this helps!
