First iPhone 4S Deliveries Made to German Customers Ahead of Official Launch

Not that I can see they aren't. They will for all other networks bar O2. I would love for someone to prove me wrong as I'd pre order in an instant

They did yesterday on the website when you click the "Upgrade" tab - Just had a look on the site today after reading what you guys put and it doesn't seem to be there ... I ordered over the phone though and the order has been confirmed and I havn't had anything to say it has been cancelled.

I would give them a call they might still be doing it.

I ordered two iphone 4S phones around 5am PST, 1 32G black and the other a 16G white.

The 32G Black shows SHIPPED and is sitting in China (slated for delivery on Friday.

The 16G White still shows "preparing for shipment".

I'm guessing the memory/color choice slightly affects shipping schedules.

YMMV.

You won't get it Friday if it's in china now, customs takes so long

I'm not liking what I'm hearing. Hoping I get tracking info by the end of the day or else I don't know how I'll get it by Friday.

Check out this thread. There are plenty of people just now getting tracking info by using reference numbers. From Hong Kong to AK is about a 10 hour flight and from AK to KY is about 6 hours. There is still 3 days before they are to be delivered. Even with scanning and sorting, they have plenty of time.

I say we all head down to Louisville, storm the UPS warehouse there, grab our phones and have ourselves a 4S bash!

That's about a 10 hour drive for me. With my luck, I would get there just to find out that it already left.

It did. Departed last night at 11:11pm local.

Mine has all of that same information, even the same exact times so I'm guessing all of our phones are all together. I live just right up north in Ohio, near columbus, do any of us have a possibility of getting the phone early?

jw?

I would like to order the screen protector and case so that they come in before my phone on Friday. I would like to prevent damage from accidental drops and screen scratches. Anybody recommend which one to buy. I don't want it to be too bulky and don't want to compromise on the protection either.

Doesn't seem likely. I checked 3 airports in my state and there are no upcoming flights out of KY for UPS. I'm guessing they'll be loaded on trucks and driven, at least to my area. I could be wrong, though.

Thanks. Maybe I am just being impatient :)

My phones are in Louisville, KY. At least they're in the continental US!

Haha mine's also in Louisville, KY. Which is odd because it was in Alaska which I'm pretty sure is closer to California than Kentucky. Oh well I can wait 3 days haha
 
I also wonder how the Chinese kids are doing now on their extra shifts to make we dumb asses happier. How many are already self murdered because of the stress to catch the production line? Sad!

Status: iPhone 4S 16GB White - Preparing for Shipment
 
Shipped!

Mine is being skipped from Hong Kong and is scheduled to arrive in Oklahoma on the 14th. Was hoping for earlier, but at least it isn't delayed! -crosses fingers-

See this is making it hard for me to wait to make sure there's nothing wrong with these! :)

For those who have tracking info already: did you order white or black? All three of my preorders are white and all still say preparing for shipment (with no luck finding tracking info by reference on UPS or FedEx). Just curious if there is a corelation.

Mine is a 16GB White AT&T iPhone 4S and I ordered it through Apple.
 
This is great news. It's nice to hear that those outside of the USA are getting phones now instead of after we get ours here.
