Apple Begins Shipping iPhone 4 to Customers

[cvaldes]

We did one of the boat trips to snorkel on the North Shore. Most beautiful place on Earth that I've seen. My in-laws have a timeshare in Princeville and one on the big island's west shore.


Amen brother!

Call Mike at Dive Kauai in Kapa'a. You need to do the Niihau SCUBA boat trip (if you have a PADI license).

Diving Niihau is insane. Most SCUBA divers would rank it in the top ten in the world.

I maxxed out at 120 feet. You don't think about iPhones at that depth.

 

[Lopes]

My status still says, "not yet shipped." Anyone else? Getting kinda worried.

 

[cvaldes]

Seriously, stop plugging kauai, Or I'm going to have to put up with tons of dumb haoles. Just do what I do. "Oahu, is perfect for anyone who wants to see hawaii."

Uh, you're right.

Stay in Honolulu, folks! Or back on the mainland! Try Santa Barbara or San Diego! You'll love it!

Hawaii is Verizon country anyhow. Your iPhone will suck on the islands.

I think we're off topic. Lets go back to how we're all trying to figure out if we can get temp jobs at fedex and just deliver our own phones.

Ding, ding, ding!

My guess is that this was indeed the case as Apple continued to take pre-orders while AT&T melted down.

I'm thinking that AT&T actually booked less than 15% of total iPhone pre-orders this day (the majority going to Apple.com, followed by the local carrier sites).

Actually, the only reason why I had to order an iPhone from AT&T is because Apple's system had already crashed. At 3pm EST, Apple's pre-ordering system was down-for-the-count, while AT&T's were still online. It wasn't until later in the afternoon/early evening Apple's servers opened back up. I finally was able to order from Apple at 9:30pm EST.

Can't, I had a partially collapsed lung when I was younger and nobody will train me let alone certify me. SUCKS hardcore.

I was surprised my iPhone had full 3G coverage anywhere I went when I was visiting Oahu a year ago. Same can't be said for LA lol.

Absolutely, you'll love San Diego.

Oahu is perfect for that and they even have a red robin. Cant go wrong.

no shipment

Anyone else who preordered on the 15th that says "prepared for shipment" but still no shipping email?

 

[brishe]

Received my tracking info today. Originating from Shenzhen, CN with estimated delivery by June 24th. I've never pre-ordered from Apple before - I'm guessing Shenzhen CN is China?

Same here, got the "prepared for shipment" about a day ago, still have not receive the shipping email. But the delivery date is still 24th. I hope something will show up tomorrow.

 

[Gooberton]

No Shipping email?

Any one else still stuck on prepared for shipment, but ordered on the 15th?
NO shipment email. wtf?

 

[blaupunk]

When will the next update from fedex be if AK is 10 hourish from HK?

 

[BladeLWS]

FedEx will update when something happens to the phone, either it departs or arrives somewhere.

Middle of night sometime...

Check it in the morning

FedEx will update when something happens to the phone, either it departs or arrives somewhere.

On the Fedex website it will when it gets the "Package Picked Up" scan, but usually on a Sunday night itll be delayed.

Perks of my job is i will see all the scans put onto a package that doesnt show on the website. So ill see exactly where mine is/ and will be!

 

[Lifesuxsbad]

Finally!

I finally have Tracking info!! I had been changing the date on FedEx's website all day from the 19 back to the 20th and keep saying no details....well it is now showing up like everyone else's estimated delivery the 23rd but I do not expect it till the 24th. Thank god!! And now I can call AT&T and cancel that one and not have to worry about my dup order...at least I hope nothing comes of that order since my Apple order has been shipped!!! Woohoo!!

NO shipment email. wtf?

same here both my phones showing prepared for shipment...I just got two emails from AT&T saying the following:


Thank you for choosing AT&T and iPhone!

You can access your Customer Service Summary (CSS) for your iPhone account at any time by clicking here or by visiting att.com and logging into your wireless account.*

Your CSS outlines AT&T services, charges and policies for your iPhone account including:
Charges on your AT&T bill
Your rate plan for iPhone**
Voicemail information
AT&T policies and much more

I ordered through apple store online so something is happening. Order still shows prepared for shipment and delivers by 24th June.

My only guess is some of these phones are not coming from Hong Kong but are already in a warehouse here.

If it's anything like my iPad shipment, then there will be nothing until it arrives in Memphis, which is about 24 hours after the time it left HK (actually more since it always shows local time). For my iPad, it shows "In Transit" from HK at 11:32 pm and then arrived in Memphis the next day at 11:31 pm. It didn't even register as being in Anchorage. I'm guessing that the whole plane just landed there, refueled and then everything on it went to Memphis, where it got sorted (or they had some plane that flew all the way non-stop to Memphis, don't know if they have one that can make it).
