While we intend to scale up our shipping/fulfillment team to meet the surge of pre-ordered phones, I can’t commit to how fast that team will be able to process orders at this point. I also imagine if it’s like past experiences with, for instance, the devkit, things will start out a bit slower and then accelerate as tasks become second nature and we continue to find better efficiencies in our process.

For instance, I helped with the devkit shipment. At first it took me quite some time to connect those incredibly tiny and delicate WiFi antennas. About 50 antennas in I got really good at it and by the end I was incredibly fast at it.

Thanks for the answer @Kyle_Rankin I think, therefore, that all the phones will leave by December (hypothesis: a person assembles a phone in 30 minutes. The working week is 36 hours for 5 working days. In a month there are about 22 working days. so one person assembles about 308 phones in one month.)
