Me too, hopefully AT&T spent the extra for Saturday delivery or we will wait until Monday (at least).
I called as well. I heard the same message and I ordered from att.com on 6/09 for home delivery.
ordered on the 9th. in progress still. just spent 30 mins on the phone with att and they said...it's in progress. f*ckers. my 3g battery is dying fast (like less than 2 hours standby and it drains dead!) so it would sure be nice to get the 3gs here.
The press release says that people will start to get devices tomorrow. Note that it does not say that everyone will get them tomorrow -- just that some people will.
My guess is that some lucky people will get them tomorrow, but many of us will have to wait until next week. If that happens, I'm going to grab some popcorn, kick back, and watch the screaming...
Anyone who ordered online and took the standard ship option won't be getting their phones till Monday.
Way to go AT&T!
Who had the choice to order standard shipping? I thought everyone had:
"Pre-orders for iPhone 3G S will be shipped with overnight priority and will be processed to arrive as early as June 19, 2009, if submitted by 12 p.m. noon C.T., June 17, 2009"
I also ordered the 9th...still in progress.
The last email I got (on the 13th) said it "Your iPhone 3G S, pre-order xxxxxxxxxxx is being processed and will be shipped overnight to arrive as early as June 19, 2009".
That's just CYA in case a UPS or FedEX shipping delay keeps it from arriving on the 19th, but it does mean that they are supposed to ship it early enough to give it a chance to arrive on the 19th.
They're definitely running out of time to meet that window. We'll see how this plays out.
Damn you Apple for trying to make me come into the store and forcing me to place my order via AT&T...

I wouldn't do that at this point, AT&T will probably screw up and you will end up not getting one online or in-store.

Read further down, they contradict themselves:
att.com Preorders: Customers who preordered online will have their iPhone 3G S shipped to their home or office beginning tomorrow. Customers should be sure to examine their e-mail notification for their actual arrival date as some preorders will arrive after June 19; dates are based on when preorders were made and available inventory.
Nope, which leads me to believe the phone has actually yet to ship, or theres something else going on. They've probably only printed the shipping label.
I'm in the same boat as you. Just called and got a FedEx# that's not showing up on their end yet. I ordered on the 9th for home delivery. Getting closer....
