Same here. Not looking forward to being stuck at work tomorrow with no way to check. Don't think my kindergarteners would appreciate a lesson on apple product tracking.
Got a tip for us?

I already ordered my Acase iPhone 5 case - Superleggera PRO Dual.It was great for the 4S.Several colors but I orderd black again.And I believe Otterwhatever has a few available to order.Mine isn't available to ship until the 20th.
Does anyone know if they started making cases available for the iPhone 5 yet? I see a lot "Coming Soon" as in Sept 29th or later
First I ordered a gel case (gag) from Meritline for $2.99 shipped just to have something then ordered the Acase iPhone 5 case - Superleggera PRO Dual which I had for the 4S.

I've ordered Photive Hybrid iPhone 5 Bumper Case, but that's until something like elementcase spector, but cheaper comes out
There are a lot of cases for iPhone 5 already avaliable on amazon/ebay and other websites, although it still isn't enough, i didn't like 97% of them, where usually i can instantly pick several i like
It's still discrimination, but not against black. I could act like a crazy person and pull the racist card, but I won't. You just used the wrong term.
Mine is still "Processing Items". The date is still 9/21 but I wonder why mine still hasn't changed.

Not sure if it's related, but I got a phone call (while my iPhone running iOS 6.0GM was in do not disturb mode) from a 661 number. I called back just now and all I get is a recorded voice saying "no routes found."

Why not? They will need to learn how it all works for when the iPhone 15 comes out and they are buying.
Just teach them about each city/country as your iPhone goes through.
Then next week bring it in and they can see what traveled so far
WTH are you talking about.Go away.

The lessons they learn regarding ordering will last a lifetime!

I am talking about the definition of discrimination. I will be here as long as I wish. If you don't like my presence, then you are the one who should go away.
My Sprint iphone is still in "processing" stage. The delivery date is October 2. Anyone else have this date? I'm getting worried lol
Some serial number decoding insight I've learned over the last little while:
The last four characters are the same for everyone with a particular phone. It is characters 6-8 that are unique to your phone (well, not technically unique, but taken with all the rest of the characters, they are)
Basically, you can post up 12345...9012 but leave out 678 and no one will be able to identify your phone.
Characters in positions 1, 2 and 3 are the factory is was made in (same for all Apple products made in that factory)
Character in position 4 is the half-year your phone was produced in, starting in 2010, and J (all of us have J) is the second-half of 2012
See https://www.macrumors.com/2010/04/16/apple-tweaks-serial-number-format-with-new-macbook-pro/
Character in position 5 is the production week of your phone (starting in the second half of 2012 and same for everyone whose phone was made that week)
The earliest production week stated so far in this thread has been 32. That's the week of August 6-12 as shown:
32 - August 6-12
33 - August 13-19
34 - August 20-26
35 - August 27-Sept 2
36 - September 3-9
37 - September 10-16
Characters in positions 6, 7, and 8 show how many phones into the production week yours was (so naturally, knowing this along with the first five digits will pretty much give away your serial, if the person knows what kind of phone from positions 9/10/11/12 below)
Characters in positions 9, 10, 11 and 12 - these last digits are the Apple product model. Every iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Apple TV, or Thunderbolt display of the same configuration will have the exact same last 3 (or now 4) characters. This is why one of my iPhone 5s is F38W (64GB black for at&t or carriers in Canada) and the other is F38Y - all other people with a white 64GB phone on at&t will also have a phone that ends in F38Y. It could be made in a different factory (1/2), a different production week (4/5), obviously it'll be a different phone so (6/7/8) are different, but (9/10/11/12) will always be the same.

It'll be a couple of days before they hit stateside. They still have to go to Hong Kong. We haven't seen a departure scan from ZhengZhou yet.
I ordered mine at 3:02EST on opening night of preorders and still can't find a tracking number. Waiting is killing me, I feel like a little kid again on christmas eve waiting for the news to say where "Santas' sleigh" was located around the world.
