I had the preAuth but that dropped off, and it says in transit in HK, I would assume the next update I get is at anchorage alaska. So I would think that I would a,most have to be charged by then.
Not mine, they did a hold for a few days, then they released it, cause my money came back.....but they printed the label after that so.....whatever that means
Well...I thought I was checking ATT order status for no good reason today. About 12 times today and now the backordered has disappeared. 
I wish Apple would send me a shipping notification!
I ordered mine at 5:30 pm Pacific on 6/15, after surprisingly only about 5 tries. They took a $199 hold on my card which has now disappeared!
Apple Order Status page didn't say "Prepared for Shipment" until last night around 8:00 Pacific. Finally got my ATT CSS today. But still no shipping notification.
I did the trick and found my package using my phone number on Fedex's page but it just says "Shipment information sent to Fedex." But it does still expected delivery on Jun 23 by 10:30 AM. Which would be nice!
My Apple Order Status still says "Prepared for Shipment." No shipping email from Apple. It seems like my package isn't on the same plane as everyone elses! Maybe the plane hasn't left yet and my package still may make it on! Doubt it. I'm still worried that my order will be inexplicably canceled!
Also kind of wish I had gotten the 32gb instead of the 16gb now. Although on my 3GS I barely used 1 gb. I've never had an HD video camera before and wonder if I will now start videotaping a lot more, and eat up the 16GB really fast!

Wow, this worked, thanks. One thing I found quite strange is that I ordered under my fiancee's phone # but my Apple Store account as we did an upgrade swap but the reference # on the shipment is actually my phone #
Wonder how that is possible? Either way, I think that is good news as I think the phone should come attached to my phone # rather than hers
I don't think so. My card still isn't showing a charge and I have a shipping number. Though it could just be that my statement isn't updated yet.
you have to realize just like the ipads, there were some of us that never saw any updates till it reached the main hub in louisvile, also the iphones come in large pallets on the plane and then are broken up, until they are broken up, you may not get any updates which will happen at customs in louisville, KY
yea, i tried a few times just a minute. It didnt work. I tried 19 and 20 both. Hmm. Do they ever email you? I remember when I ordered laptops and stuff. hmm
Agreed!
I am sick of people tearing the 2 companies apart for this. Yes, they could have done a few things to aid in the pre-orders, mostly just communication, but not much else aside from that.
Its pretty impressive to me actually.
Apple charged my card on the 15th as soon as I put my order in. My bank has yet to clear the charge. I think what happened it Apple just put a hold on the amount until Thursday and than the charge will go through. Has anyone else experienced this ??
My status still says "Prepared for shipment".
I guess mine wont be shipped for a while, since it doesn't have to make any stops before its destination.
I live in Hawaii.
FedEX website says
Jun 20, 2010 1:10 AM Shipment information sent to FedEx.
been like that for over 14 hours.

that's how it will work for UPS. For Fedex it goes thru customs in Hong Kong the put into what we call an AMJ Container and only be unloaded when it gets to Memphis and goes to it's destination from there!
That's because there's no pickup scan on it or the system hasn't been updated yet! Realize Hong Kong is a day ahead of us so check it again tomorrow afternoon!
My second phone just shipped. The first phone was ordered at around 1:30 PM PT and shipped yesterday (6/19). The second phone was ordered about an hour later and shipped (information sent to FedEx) today (6/20).
sorry I had a brain fart you are 100% correct, I have something else ordered coming by ups and confused to 2. hopefully I didn't confuse other people in the process.
Customs is in Alaska, not in Louisville. Louisville is just the main UPS hub in North America. Plus the main FEDEX hub is in Memphis TN, not Louisville.
Just got my shipment notification from Apple.
+1 at 12:16 a.m. yaaa-hooo!!
No charge yet though...
