I ordered mine at 5:42AM EST and just got my first notification from apple that my order has shipped. I ordered 2 16gig 4S's, and I have only received one shipping notification. However, when I track my item from UPS, it says the box contains 2 items, even though one is considered shipped, and the other is preparing for shipment.
"Shenzhen, China 10/10/2011 1:50 P.M. Departure Scan
Shenzhen, China 10/09/2011 7:30 A.M. Origin Scan
China 10/09/2011 4:37 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS"
Still says delivery on the 14th - BY END OF DAY!

Why didn't you pre-order? You're going to be mad at "your guy" come launch day and those phones arent there.

I'm almost regretting ordering from AT&T. I had planned to order from the Apple Store at 3AM, but it broke, and I had to sleep.
AT&T is giving absolutely zero information to most of its purchasers (pending status).
The only thing that's keeping me calm is that those who ordered the iPhone 4 went through the same thing with AT&T, but they got their orders on time.
To tell you the truth, I had a chance to order from ATT an hr earlier but I waited to order from apple. I just trusted them more, I honestly love ATT but their billing history is shady at best. Countless times have I been charged for 'extras' on U-verse and my cell bill..have to call and straighten it out every now and then..so even though I have plenty of services with them, I chose to directly give my money to Apple, felt safer lol
I would be worried that I haven't received 2 notifications for shipment, but it says 2 things in my box with 2 separate tracking numbers, so I am guessing they simplified it...I trust apple more than ATT so I am just going to be patient.
On a side note, I ordered my case today from case-mate and got 20 percent off, if you need the coupon for that, just google case mate coupon and search for 20 percent or I can PM it to you.
Thanks for the offer, but I'm against cases. I fancy belt holsters, and I will use my Bold 9700 holster (similar dimensions).
I haven't received any notifications from AT&T, but I will just be patient.
I stayed up to order early, but it appears that doing so backfired...I didn't need to do it. I just needed to order in the morning. Stupid me
.
Hmm. I wonder if it will go something like this:
You: "Siri, when is my iPhone5 arriving?"
Siri: "I heard: ~cancel my iPhone5 order~"
You: "No no Siri, ~WHEN~ is my iPhone5 arriving?"
Siri: "Confirmed. Order Cancelled. You didn't need a new phone. Don't you love me anymore?"
You: "..."

I ordered trough AT&T on the 7th around 2am, but the order STILL says it's processing! I'm going to call tomorrow afternoon IF it doesn't get updated or I get a notification of shipment. Is anyone else going through this?

iPhone 4S is going to sell like hotcakes
I'm jealous of you guys
I have to wait in Hong Kong for this phone to come out... maybe 1 month later. Sigh.

Mine shipped too... however, on the tracking information it says the following:
Shenzhen, China 10/10/2011 2:51 P.M. The service selected is not available to the destination address. / Downgraded, forwarded to consignee, selected service is not available.
I'm not entirely sure what all that means... because I didn't select any special services...

Got my shipment notification from Apple and UPS says departure scan from Shenzhen with delivery by end of day Friday, shipped via UPS Worldwide Express. Strange that it says delivery by end of day, given UPS says this service delivers by either 10:30 am or 12 noon.
I'm hoping for a 10:30 delivery given I have meetings all afternoon and would love to get the phone sync'd before I leave the office.

I wish i wouldnt have to wait for the 28th in Danmark to get my hands on the 4S. My old bootrom 3GS are even soon going to be sold to my girlfriend. So ill even have to wait more than a whole week for my 4S.

By 3:30AM i passed back asleep as i wake up at 5am for work. I ordered then and it went quick.
Does anyone know if you can buy Applecare later after you buy the iPhone, like 2 weeks later for example?
I just received an email from Apple informing that it is shipped
It's now in Hong Kong now....
Delivers on the 14th, by the end of day.

I wondered the same thing. You do have to question the legality of Applecare+, if they force you to get it on day one, as it seems according to Apple's site - it says something like it must be purchased at the same time as the phone.
Many states have laws that forbid companies from essentially charging you for something like this that is already covered by the normal terms of the new product warranty.
I would be bet that Apple will need to make changes to the program, selling it as a damages policy, not combined with an extended warranty.
I did buy Applecare for my iP4, but did so the last month of my 1 yr warranty, then needed to get the phone replaced a month later due to home button issues. It was worth the money, but I'm not convinced that spending $150 for one replacement or $200 for two over the course of 2 years is worth it.
5 more days. I bet the lines will be a nightmare. This will be the first time I ordered my iPhone to ship to my house. There was a time when the lines were "fun" like when a new OS was launched. Waiting in lines for any Apple product now is brutal.
