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.)
