I also got some pamphlets or something with the Sim. I don't remember how much the package weighed, I just remember getting more than one package from Apple at different times.
Got a tip for us?

To ANYONE that gets it early... PLEEEEEASE POST AN UNBOXING VIDEO! I've been looking all over YouTube and there isn't one. Please do one.
Considering that it was shipped on the 14th, that isn't an iPhone. I'm guessing you ordered accessories? That should be your accessories.
My point is Apple doesn't need to encourage it. Of course they won't. I'm saying FedEx could just say, "Ah screw it, ship em! We need our space back. We made a deal based on last year's shipment of 1 million. Now there's 2 million."
And of course Apple isn't getting a refund for early shipment. It's that FedEx would be eating less lost revenue from all those phones taking up space. This is not about any motivation on Apple's part. It's all about FedEx deciding it doesn't need to adhere to Apple's crazytown Steve Jobs imposed delivery dates any more. Apple has no choice but to deal with FedEx. It's FedEx's game, not Apple's.
What is the delivery date rule all about anyway? It's about Apple saying "This is when the iPhone launches! Do not let the kids open their phone before that day!" What other company demands that? That's all fine and dandy when it's 2008 and there are a few hundred thousand phones and Steve Jobs is running the show. He could literally make FedEx tremble. Tim Cook has no such powers.
I'm not saying early deliveries will happen. Just saying they could.
Just noticed that. Yeah there is no way that's the phone, they didn't ship them THAT fast.
Maybe they sent a 4S by mistake. Really hope you get it though. Want to see what the black back really looks like
I have no idea what it would be then since I didn't order anything else from them.
I would definitely check your order to make sure you accidentally didn't order a 4s but would the 4s box even be that heavy? I mean 2 lbs is a lot. The iPhone shipments are .8 and .9 lbs.
No and I got the tracking # from an email from Verizon. And I just looked at the order # that shipped and the order # of my phone order and they are one and the same. I hope it is the phone but I am not getting my hopes up completely.
Actually, if you've seen the threads of other people with tracking numbers, all their weights are .8 and .9 lbs, that is why this is odd at 2 lbs. Well and the fact that it shipped on the 14th while everyone else started shipping this weekend.
Actually it looks like a mistake. After calling them it looks as though they shipped an iPhone 4s to me by mistake. The order was right but the shipping got messed up. I'm so bummed out.. Oh well.. I'll try and see if they let me keep the 4S

Damn, that really, really sucks.

So instead of sending a 5 they sent you a 4s? Or they sent you both?

aww... I was curious to see what you would get. Did they say they are sending you an 5?
Wow that sucks. Sorry, man. Now, was it their mistake or yours? What did you actually order? If it's their mistake, send Mr. Tim Cook an e-mail.
olol. unboxing vid plz!!
Honestly, that unboxing video would have been a lot more interesting... Someone ordering a 5, getting it a few days in advance, and then having their hopes crushed. All on camera!
