As previously mentioned, the ship date for 16gb models now says 10/20, so that's probably what they're basing it on. Pretty sure if you ordered before the ship date changed, you'll get it on the 14th. I hope so anyways, as mine says 21st now as well.

Edit: 4S black
 
After reading these posts, I have to say i'm glad I waited 2 hours waiting for apple's website instead of just going through Verizon's website at 3am. :)
 
Yes. But their site was a POS last night. Carrier sites were working better.

Their POS site was down for a while, but the people who ordered from their POS site will be getting the iPhone before you.
 
Ordered 2 white 16gig


At 3:15

If It's gun a b delayed I am canceling n waiting on line

Did anyone call verizon..
 
Must be the 16gb models and the website just uses the date in their system. I'm sure if you ordered around 3am you will have it by launch.

Since that is the most highly desired iPhone, I hope you are already camped out in front of the store.
 
ugh my 16GB Black iPhone got pushed back to the 21st too! and i ordered at 6AM! ugh come one!
 
Mine still says 10/14 but I ordered thru Apple @6:30 AM EST
I'll make sure to post unboxing pictures and give you some reviews while you wait another week for yours....



...just kidding.
 
did anyone try calling verizon and asking if this is the case? Also I ordered mine 3 hours ago over the phone and the person said it would arrive by the 14th
 
I ordered through Apple for the iPhone 4 launch with Verizon, placed my order within 5 minutes of it going live, and Verizon folks got their phones a day before the people who ordered through Apple.

Today, I ordered within 5 minutes of it going live and did it through Verizon this time, and I too have been bumped to 10/21.

Oh well.

Ordered via phone (long story as to why online didn't work in my specific case) about 8:20 AM EDT from VZW. Confirmation email said delivery by 10/14, telesales rep said it would arrive Friday 10/14 or possibly a day early, but order status showed "ship date 10/14" (which I assume is normal since they are geared towards a ship date, not a delivery date usually). Just checked now (7:38 PM EDT) and status still shows 10/14 ship date.

I ordered a 32GB black phone. I am a VZW customer, but with a Mobile Hotspot, not a phone. I am porting an AT&T number to VZW, due to rural coverage problems when we travel. AT&T has been great for me in metro/suburban areas or along interstates, but off the beaten track it blows in the areas we often travel (SW VA, NW GA, N FL, W NC).
 
Does anyone who got a 16gb version still have a date of 10/14? If everyone has 10/21 then its definitely just basing it off of current stock and I wouldn't worry about it.
 
Card hasn't been charged, but usually with pre order stuff it won't be until it ships/is about to ship
 
Mine got pushed back to the 21st also. Hopefully the ship dates aren't official (obviously they aren't considering it got pushed back a week and I had my order in like 2 minutes after 3am).
 
I ordered black 32g, probably finished up around 3:15am. Still showing 10/14.

I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon sold more than they thought. General consensus was that everyone got one in February who wanted one, but that didn't account for the many VZW customers who sat it out waiting for the next model. That said, I bet most people who ordered early get it 10/14 or before.
 
Just got off phone with Verizon and apparently yes the are delaying the shipment till 21st. I asked if I canceled how long till it clears the order so I can order from apple " since apple is still saying 14 delivery" and no one knows
 
i ordered a 16gb at like 2 55, it now says 10/21/11, I will raise hell if they pushed my shipment back.

That sucks, I would cancel and go to the store on the 14th.
