So maybe B&H will be getting/releasing their allotment on the 21st as well so we may have some idea about how many they'll be shipping out in the first batch. If that is the case, maybe, hopefully they can let those not in the first wave more info on when those people might be getting theirs. I figure I'm in either wave two or probably 3 depending upon have many cancel their orders.

Wouldn't California get stock before anybody else? Doesn't the boat carrying all the 5D3's come in at a port over on the West Coast?
That is probably why the East side of the country is a bit more delayed, if being transported via train/truck/whatever. I doubt it is by air, but I could be wrong.

Yes, I think B&H has their allotment already but they are just not saying anything.
After all if all of these smaller camera stores are getting theirs surely the big players like B&H, Adorama and the like are.
In 2 maybe 3 days we BETTER have a better idea.

I highly doubt such a drastic price decrease... I mean, the 5D2 years after release were still selling for what, $2100 or 2200 used... Only $200-300 less then brand new. I have a feeling the 5D3 will be the exact same way.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Tempted to cancel my order with B&H and just pick it up local now since they actually communicate.

So if I'm number 1 on the list (hypothetically and in a dream world), how long will it take B&H to process the order from "Backorder" to "Shipped"? Because if the camera goes officially on sale on the 22nd, will they ship it that same day? Or the next day?

I have to believe BH, Adorama, and other US mail houses are not going to take another day of the whole world - but them - shipping. So yeah, I expect activity on Tuesday, in the "spirit" of the May 22 release.
Not sure I'd want to be the Canon VP of US Sales right now. But I may want to be his/her cel phone carrier
edit - on the bright side, since they have not begun shipping, we all can still hope we are all in wave 1.

I like the Indiana Jones Picture 
I see a lot of people posting they pick one up, but I don't see a lot people posting pictures to back it up.

BH sent me the dreaded email about my item being on backorder... I guess I am not getting a 5d3 before April..

I wouldn't draw that conclusion (unless you ordered late in the game, of course). With an operation the size of B&H, they are likely to have automated batch processing jobs that generate such e-mails on a regular (perhaps weekly) basis. I seem to recall some option like that or being told that on their website somewhere, but I can't find it now.
Incidentally, my B&H order confirmation was received at 12:12 AM ET on 3/2, so fairly early (I hope), and I too received that e-mail.
I did get an e-mail from them this morning asking me to rate their customer service (I had called them to change my shipping options). I took the opportunity to politely inform them that choosing not to communicate was damaging their image. FWIW.
