Sorry guys, false alarm. I'm guessing tracking by reference brings up all packages to your destination address despite me putting my order number (minus the last two digits). It's worth a try since other members in other threads are doing it.
 
He ordered through Verizon, not the Apple Store. Could be true.
I think the carrier sites show Preparing for Shipment from the very beginning. It's their version of "processing" on the Apple Store. I have seen a few cases of that...unfortunately, it's nothing.
 
Had a dream last night that my phone shipped and I received the tracking number with FedEx. I woke up and thought I was dreaming so I checked my order details on my phone, and sure enough it did!

This kept repeating over and over. I was literally stuck in Inception last night. My only way to tell reality from a vision was to check the forum when I woke up this morning.

This was the worst night ever.
I had a dream last night!! Which is actually a pretty rare thing cuz I don't normally have dreams.

My dream was that I was in bed, at night with all the lights off and I checked my order status in the Apple Store app. It said my watch shipped and should be here on the 16th and it said my phone was preparing to ship and should be here the 16th. Woke up, couldn't tell if that was a real thing that happened before I fell asleep or not, it was 4am and did not happen before I fell alseep. :(

Well, the review embargo has been lifted and Engadget is not saying great things about our precious JB. If the review is to be believed, this phone scratches VERY easily and feels plasticy.

I'm going to wait in line on launch day and buy whatever black they have. If I can find matte black, I'm going for it. I'm just to picky when it comes to scratches and I'm guessing I won't be happy.

But wouldn't putting a case on it solve that problem? I have a clear case on order for my Jet Black.

I have high trust in Gruber. He does say that its going to look worn but I also love this line here.

I feel like I could wake up tomorrow and be back on team black. It’s not a hard decision because they’re similar — it’s a hard decision because both finishes are excellent, just excellent in different ways.

Not at all. There are two types of clear: hard plastic and soft TPU. The soft will turn yellow after time and ruin the look of the phone. The hard plastic will scratch quicker than the metal. Also, you will need to take the cases off at least once a week to take the dust out. If you don't, I can guarantee a speck of dirt will get in there and make a pit mark. Trust me, I went through this with the gold. A skin is the best option.

Or an Apple case with has a very soft lining in both the silicone and leather. My midnight blue Apple case turned up this morning.
 
Ordered my jb plus at 8.03 on friday and have given up hope of 16th Launch.

It simply just looks like they are not ready yet.

Still keep checking though
