i dont think its reallychecking it, just there to let me know its in the system.
EDIT: i mean i dont think its a status update by any means, lol. I called the store to see if they received reservation shipments today and the lady said no. I asked about the date on my app and she just laughed, said something along the lines of "what? 2050? You mean you want one before then?" lol..then she explained a date is set in there with an order just to put it in the system.

I thought the same thing, only the pre-order was a joke. I tried to pre-order about 30 minutes into the pre-order and the website was already bogged down to nothing. Couldn't pre-order, and I wasn't going to waste my time checking every 5 minutes to do it.
I did not preorder but wish I would have. It took my dad 5 hours to preorder his with refreshing the browser constantly and having 2 browsers going. BUt his phone was delivered on the 24th before noon.
I got on the list around 10:30AM on Saturday at South Coast Plaza Apple store. I asked if I can see what # I am on the list. He looked on his reservation iPad and says there's really no numbering and that the database simply shows reservation for any products, not just iPhones. He says the iPhone priority list only started the night before and he's seeing a lot of iPad reservations, so he thinks I should be pretty high up the list.
Here's hope they get a shipment this week so I can get my 32GB iPhone 4.

The iPhone 4 you've been waiting for has arrived, and it's ready for you to pick up. When you come in, we'll have Specialists ready to transfer your contacts, set up email, and help you get apps so your iPhone is just the way you like it. We can't wait to see you at the store.
Sincerely,
The Apple Retail Store team

I was put in the list at this same store at noon on Friday, so it existed some time before Friday night. However, they did tell me that they "just started it" and he had to get the manager to enter our names because nobody seemed to know how to use the system.I got on the list around 10:30AM on Saturday at South Coast Plaza Apple store.

Anyhow, still no email for pickup.
I just came from the store. They don't have any for walk ins, but the girl I asked was uncertain and she had to turn to a co-worker to confirm -- as if they've always had allotments for walk ins along side the priority list.
If you got yours, already... hopefully I'm in the next batch. I still haven't received my "your iphone is waiting" email yet. I got the initial "We'll talk to you soon" email when I first got placed on the list though.
btw, thanks for the update. helps me keep a sense of my place in queue and timing--ease the wait.
They did say they got a new shipment, so hopefully, you're on deck.
However, there didn't seem to be a whole bunch of folks in there picking up their phones. Maybe they're piecemealing them out to prevent overwhelming the staff.
I sure hope you're right! iPhone 4 to play with this weekend wouldn't be a bad idea at all.
Sigh...just got on the list today. I wish I would have known I didn't have to pay for the phone if I pre-ordered. I was waiting until I got paid the following Friday. I'm guessing I'm going to be waiting for a while before I get my email.
I got on the list at the ABQ Uptown Apple Store at about 2:30 on launch day (about five people after they ran out of units), and still don't have an email. Very surprised it has taken this long
Me too, cept I'm in Milwaukee.
Signed up for one at one of the apple stores around me on Friday. Got the "Your iphone is ready to be picked up" email yesterday. And picked it up today.
Also signed up for another list at another store on Saturday and got the email today. Dunno if it'll work but if they let me give my reservation to someone i'll be glad to.. It ready to be picked up at Century City, CA.

This is encouraging news. I signed up at the Pasadena Apple store on Saturday afternoon, but picked the Santa Monica store for pick up. I haven't gotten the 'pick up' email yet. I sure hope it's only taking 5-6 days for priority list pick ups.
I wonder if certain Apple stores are getting more priority list phones than other stores? I only signed up for one phone at one store.
Yesterday I spent 2 hours in a line at a crummy AT&T Express store waiting for their 3pm phone delivery. They only got 4 phones and I was 10th in line...
Bah
Well....today will be a full week waiting if I don't see an email this morning.
Got a call from my company's IT guy yesterday and he said AT&T will have a phone to me by tomorrow.
Now deciding whether or not to keep the Apple reservation and get the phone for the wife so we can do a little ""bodytiming" when I travel...
Damn...maybe I should trademark that....could start a whole porno site collecting "bodytiming" videos from folks....
There you go...million dollar idea out there for anyone who wants it...
