Philly. Ordered from Apple at 6:30AM and still says Preparing for Shipment. My guess is that the phones may already be in the country and UPS will scan them soon sometime tomorrow or Wednesday.
 
North Carolina. No tracking number. I completed my order about 8am on the 7th. Ordered straight from apple.
 
I am in Boston. Ordered mine at 4am on launch day and it has shipped from China with a delivery date of the 14th. It just entered Alaska tonight.
 
Ordered 32GB black ATT from Apple.com. Atlanta, Ga. Still preparing for shipping. Also changed my shipping address on Friday when I ordered it at 9:30am EST. No tracking number and not working UPS.
 
Apple still shows Preparing for Shipment, however, when I go to UPS.com and search by reference, and enter my 10 digit phone #, I see my package!

It's in Hong Kong right now, due to be delivered by COB Friday :)
 
Upstate NY, ordered an AT&T version white 32GB on Friday at 10am and have not received a tracking number. When I log in to apple.com it says that it's preparing for shipment, but it's said that since Sunday for me.

It seems that every time I order from Apple, whether it was my iPad, new iPhones, whatever that's newly released I always get the tracking number a day or two before it's supposed to be delivered. Yet it's always delivered on release day so I'm not too worried.

edit: well I just tried the UPS trick and it worked. Here's the last update for my phone

Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong 10/11/2011 5:35 P.M. Arrival Scan
 
DC , white 32GB - ATT ordered @ 6am on Friday. Still "preparing for shipment" and no tracking number.
