Based on basic sums of tickets and phones per order, it seems likely 
that the number of phones ordered is 800-1500 or so.
It is very likely that there will be a delay.

If they kicked off the production process for the next batch on the 10th 
- after having several hundred orders - then 4 weeks comes around the 
8th of August. Probably another week at least for shipping.
So, at best, another month.

At worst - if nobodies pressed the button, and the production time is 6 
weeks, and this doesn't happen till they get the first batch out the 
door, we might be looking at the first days of November.
