Hi there @ghpc, welcome to the forum and thanks for your post.
Generally when there is a wait from the handset being ordered and the date of delivery it is either the handset is on pre order or we are awaiting more stock of the handset. When you ordered this phone was it via the website or did you speak with the team to order it?
If you have had a new sim sent by us in the past year or so this will be good to be used in a 5G ready handset.
Any further questions or issues please feel free to ask.
Regards
Nathan
