The counter on the FP website seems to be the number of FP2 actually shipped. There was a discussion going on recently here in the Forum.
First, I also thought that the counter is corresponding with the delivery numbers but it is obviously not (same as you guys, my delivery number is 11xxx and I am still waiting… no delivery notification so far). An explanation might be: in case you ordered more than one phone at the same time (e.g. 2 or 3 or even more as a reseller) you still got only one delivery number. In this case, it makes sense that the counter is much more ahead of the delivery numbers. I only came to this conclusion just a couple of days ago.
Anyway, I agree with you that the information policy of FP could be better and I am somehow disappointed too. Actually, the counter is not really useful to know about when exactly our FP2s will be shipped as we don’t know how many FP2 had been ordered at the time of our orders/payment. I only remember that the counter of pre-ordered phones was at approx. 13,xxx when placing my order but this doesn’t really help either as I have no idea how many phones had been ordered till FP received my payment. So, the only thing we can do is wait… And wait a bit more.
