Ordered today 16GB model

Expected here 1st to the 8th... Hopefully it comes early.

Interesting that you ordered today and got a date of 11/1-11/8 and I ordered Saturday and got a date of 11/4-11/14. I'm going to assume that it must be different carriers.
 
Mine finally left the dreaded Lantau Island! It should be here tomorrow according to Apple, but Fedex tracking says Tuesday... we'll see...

Ordered apple.com here in uk so it's sim free

That might be why.
 
Not so funny, mine is vacationing along with yours. I do think they could have used the weekend to fly it here so I'd see it this morning. nope. :(

Yeah, I thought the same. I was upset when my tracking info updated from

My tracking is the same. any update on yours?
 
I just ordered today via apple.com, so I know I am in for a long wait but less than i would be waiting with at&t!

They quoted 11/4-11/14 but I am ok with that, no rush.

I just checked mine through yahoo and it says the same things. It's strange that it says it left the FedEx ramp CHEK LAP KOK and THEN says left FedEx ramp LANTAU ISLAND...
 
My delivery date is between Oct 28th - Nov 4th. I am hoping this bad boy ships earlier and gets to me before the weekend. I wanna throw my 3 hour battery lasting evo 4g at the wall. :apple:POWER
 
Ordered my unlocked black 16gb to Atlantic Canada on the 17th, delivers Oct 31-Nov 7. Hasn't changed in a week :(

I gotta ditch my crackberry!
 
This is gonna be my first iPhone so I am pretty stoked. I only hear good things about so I had to switch. I know what you mean, when my status order finally changed I was so happy. hang in there :apple:POWER
