Obviously you have not seen the other threads where Apple states that some people will receive their order tomorrow.

Same here as well.

I think its because of the crushing amount of pre-orders. Either UPS/FedEx can't handle the load in one day, or ATT/Apple can't handle that many activations in one day. Or a combo of the two.
Regardless if I get mine on the 23rd or 24th - kudos for lessening the activation loads.

If it's true people will receive their phone tomorrow at least I have something to do while I wAit another day for mine to arrive; watch videos of unboxing and tests.

FWIW
I didn't take my own advice to just relax and not worry about it. I called ATT Premier this morning and was to that if your order is "processed" (which can be checked by calling 1-866-499-8008 and entering your order number) then it is ready to be paired with a phone and should be arriving by the 24th. Initially the CSR said the 25th and then the manager confirmed the 24th as an arrival date.
Fingers crossed
I hope a bunch of the official reviews are posted today since the NDA should be up for the major sites.
Yes, Apple sent out emails saying phones may come early.
Have you seen such an email first hand or a screenshot?
It is very possible that the ATT iPhone 4 units will originate from within the USA and NOT China. APPLE could have had pallets sent to ATT/FedEx for shipment from here.
I ordered my iPhone on June 15 at about 6:00 PM EST, but my order status shows it as 6/18 I have never had a back order but it still hasnt shipped, it just says in progress!
COME ON AT&T FIRST TIME CUSTOMER AND IM ALREADY GETTING SCREWED BY THEM.

Hahahaha! That is why I asked. I guess he needs to do a little more reading.

You're not getting screwed. You ordered at 6PM on opening day - there were 10s of thousands of orders ahead of yours that had to get entered into the system manually. Given your order status date, yours was one of them.
Ordered: ~4:30 PM EST 6/15, att.com
"Ordered Date": 6/16
Order Number: 6807x
Phone: 32GB Black, Early upgrade from 3G
Congrats !
I still doubt this will happen. Apple is very careful and controlling when it comes to their product launches and distribution. FedEx is more than capable in handling the load, trust me. I don't see why people assume that FedEx is not prepared for this thing, THEY ARE.
FedEx has logistics experts (Logistics is the management of the flow of goods, information and other resources, including energy and people, between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet the requirements of consumers) that meet with Apple before product launches and discuss how distribution will go. Apple produced a certain quantity of phones expecting to sell out. This is not a surprise to Apple, they knew the devices would sell out, and they knew exactly how many devices FedEx would be handling well before the product was even announced.
I doubt it still. It could easily be a mix-up on Apples part. Apple support reps know nothing outside of what they are trained to know, stuff about early arrivals and product launches is pure speculation on the part of the CSR.
I highly doubt that.
Edit: I now see that Apple is circulating emails indicating early arrivals for a few people, and that is pretty cool. Congrats to those few who will get them early! I still doubt this is due to volume to FedEx, as others have speculated it may very well be due to AT&T Activation load.
but I read on this thread about 3 people who ordered at 6:30PM - 8:00PM EST and they already have their tracking numbers!
It's on MacRumors front page!
