My 4S didn't ship until Thursday last year. It shipped Thursday EVENING from Louisville overnight to Connecticut. And it arrived on time. If Apple tells you it will be the 21st, it almost certainly will be.
But boy am I happy that mine already shipped to leave no doubts.
I just thought of something. with the phone being in ontario tonight and me being about 40 miles from the airport. The rest of the week is going to be pretty boring while I just watch it sit there all week.

I'd love to be relieved, but there were quite a few 4S owners who did NOT get theirs on time last year. Let's up there are no re-runs...this is their 6th launch, so there should be no excuses!
UPS should update saying Arrival Scan in Anchorage. And then it will update again a few minutes before 5:05PM Alaska time saying Departure Scan. If it does, that will probably mean it's going to Ontario.
Well there goes that theory.
I hope they offload the West Coast phones instead of sending them all to Memphis and then back West.
They won't be deplaning in Alaska. These passangers are on a non stop flight(OK One stop) to sunny California where they can be treated like the roalty they are.
Ditto Blueline29 - I am also in FL, and my phone was also on this flight (or I guess departure scanned at 9:34 p.m. - can't be totally sure it was actually on this flight I guess).
If you ordered from apple go to UPS.com and track by referance #. Your referance number should be the phone # that is attached to your iTunes account. Once you see where you phone is you can go to flightaware.com a find it by looking at the airport is just departed from. Just look for UPS in the flight #'s.
Apparently they got out to stretch their legs.

Arrived in UPS59 as far as I can see. Thanks for the people keeping track of these things. All in all it might not be necessary, might be overkill, but it sure is fun to see. It is like watching Santa's NORAD, but for adults waiting for their new toy

Anyone understand why once it landed and scanned in Alaska the delivery time changed to end of day!! UPS sucks in my area and usually they don't show till 630 for residents
