Mine has been sitting in Kentucky in an arrived status for the past 36 hours. Is this common? I hope it wasn't lost or stolen.

I'm in the UK, ordered white 32GB on October 10th from apple.com.
Estimated delivery between 2nd - 8th November, still processing. Ordered with Debit card and praying the bank don't block the payment!

It worked! Third attempt at Bullring and i've got a 32GB Black and Slate unlocked for tomorrow. I reserved just after 9am this morning, not sure if that helped or not.

It came! UPS unexpectedly updated their tracking page and it was delivered to a neutral destination and I picked it up Friday! AMAZING

What exactly is the hold up? Its pathetic Apple launched this phone and dont have anywhere near enough. I have been due an upgrade here in the Uk for weeks and ive been told it will be weeks again likely before my local o2 store gets Iphone 16gig back into stock.

It actually made me get an S3,but i just liked the simplicity of the iphone to much and returned it,beginning to wonder if i made the right decision or not.

i pre-ordered my iPhone today at my carrier here in austria. don't know when i will get it. don't even know how many weeks, but hope soon. in the mail i got they wrote that they are now checking my bank account and when everything's fine and they have the phone at their logistic, i will receive another mail, probably with the number of shipment. i'm so excited and i hope i don't have to wait too long. 16GB, white
