Why is it so hard to give us a real timeline? I would have figured during the interview on the Stream of Annihilation we would have at least got a date on phase 2!
Because they always find something they want to do better. Because they're making it more impressive before showing it off. Because they want as many bugs as possible sorted out before the public gets their hands on it...
They've narrowed it down to this month. When Badeye gives the thumbs up, I bet it'll be immediately unlocked for everyone. They want it to be as perfect and impressive as possible, and I think that's ok.

What happens when they say "Phase 2 will start *date xx*" and *date xx* comes and they aren't ready. They decide not to put out buggy or unfinished work. Then people get mad because *date xx* came and went without Phase 2. Or they release, because they said *date xx*. Now we have unfinished, buggy stuff to weed through. Would you be happy? I wouldn't.
By not giving an exact date, they aren't willing to drop their standards to meet deadlines. Things will be released when they are ready.
I know they announced a jade green dice set, but those sweet-looking dice they're using in the stream would be a sure fire way for WotC to get more of my money. Just saying...

Fairly certain there is a company that makes them (as WotC wouldn't be able to produce a small number). I know you can buy the dice trays. I didn't get to watch enough to determine if they were wyrmwood or not. And I didn't pay attention to the dice to be able to offer a possible company.
They seemed official, as the numbers looked to be in 5e font. They had kind of a smokey translucent color, and I'm not totally sure, but they seemed slightly oversized. Want!
They just showed off some new minis that look really cool.
Did they announce when beta 2 starts?
This month! Exact date not yet determined.
Also they showed how DDB will integrate with twitch. Pretty awesome!

Watched for a couple of min. I felt like they had way too many players in this last game.
I loved this last game. It was extremely entertaining. :D

A dwarf with a canoe on his back? What could go wrong?
The last game was the best of the day!

These dice? They're only given out at special events. At one point they had them for sale but they're since sold out:

I thought in the interview last night, the curse folks explicitly said "phase 1 of the beta is open to all". Will phase 2 be open to all as well?
All the beta test is open to all, including phase 2 and 3.
Thanks for the response!
So in November the Unearthed Arcana book?? Did I get it right??
EDIT: Yep it is called Xanthar's guide to everything.
