I have one AT&T order placed on the 15th shipped on the 18th, tracking #438 showing no info. I also have a apple store order placed delivering by 10:30 wednesday.
I am upgrading two phones line, does anyone know if I have to active each phone spicificly? Example apple is sending the phone I ordered for my line do I need to activate that phone with my phone # or can we mix them.

Reposted from my post in a dead thread:
I phoned FedEx, talked to lovely, pleasant lady who told me the following:
FedEx parks large trailers in the lots of the major Electronics Companies (Apple, HP, Dell, AT&T) with which to deliver major orders. These trailers are filled up by the respective companies. During loading, the company creates FedEx entries, then loads them on the truck. So in this case, AT&T scans the iPhone, creates a FedEx tracking number, and stacks it on the truck. whenever the truck is filled, it is driven to the FedEx sort facility. This is not scheduled, and happens when the truck is full.
When the truck gets to the FedEx facility, it is unloaded and all items are scanned. This is when the package shows up in the FedEx tracking system.
This means that REALLY lucky folks like me, who have a shipping date of the 18th from Apple but no entry found for FedEx, have an iPhone on the truck loaded by the LAZY crew at AT&T (just kidding, I' sure they're all diligent hard workers) and it is still sitting on the pavement at AT&T in Texas. (or it got in a car accident on the way to the sort facility)
Hope this helps. She also said that the idea about the system missing boxes isn't true.

^ Also has tracking number starting at 408. However, I do have status updates from FedEx. currently it is in-transit from Texas. Hope to see another update late tonight. 
Another 408 with no tracking info showing up
Metro Detroit here. (saw you were in Michigan). Maybe it's a coincidence.
guys go ahead and check your tracking again. i was in the same situation where i had a tracking numbe for almost 5 days but fedex had no information about my package. i just checked it today and it said it still hasn't shipped, but they've received information that it should be shipping today and be delivered by tomorrow at 3:00pm. i'm feeling pretty good now.
Got It!
FedEx delivered the iPhone 4 about 11:00AM today, a day early! Loving it, only problem is everyone I know is not getting theirs 'til tomorrow. No one to FaceTime with
