It would be nice if the delivered indicator could be relied upon, but it seems to report that a message has been delivered once the Apple servers have received it, not when the destination device has received it. This is especially noticeable under poor network conditions (I think I first noticed it at a music festival where even regular SMS messages struggled to get through due to network congestion). |

For example, if the recipient is out of 3G data coverage but can fall back to SMS, you won't get Delivered, you'll get a line across your conversation denoting a switch to Text Message and a different color bubble.
(Several people I message are in marginal coverage areas several hours a day, so I get to see this in action daily.)
