Another quick update : It seems like some Twitter users have started receiving their orders[1][2]. Albeit the absence of updates from n0nce makes me think he/she hasn't received their notification, I hope that this update from Foundation[3] makes him/her happy:

@Foundationdvcs - We expect to have all current orders shipped by the end of the month. Thank you for your support and patience!
Thanks for the update! I haven't got mine yet, but even when I do get it, I will need a bit of time to unbox, review and compare to v1 of course.
I'm glad to hear that they are finally shipping. I also noticed that their Envoy application is now available, but I'm not sure what you guys think about this topic. Installing an application (binary), compiled, from an app store, that holds the xpub of your hardware wallet? There is no way of verifying it not breaching user privacy. It could easily do a one-off HTTP request, sending the xpub to Foundation.
I might find the time to have a look at their source code to at least check they don't have Google AdSense or other known spying frameworks in use, as I believe that's one of the biggest 'black boxes' in most mobile applications.
Which wallet do you use?
