White 16 GB AT&T, confirmation email received 4:05 am edt on Sept. 14.

Oct 2nd delivery to upstate NY. Still in order processing, no card pending charge.
 
Ordered at 10 am et on 9/14. My card was charged today but order status still shows processing and delivers oct 5 to Ohio.
 
I'm wondering if I'll see something soon, just got two emails from AT&T that say "Thank you for choosing AT&T! This email confirms recent activity related to your wireless account" after preordering two phones with an Oct 5 estimate. Hope to wake up and see Preparing to Ship! (5:15AM EDT by the way)

- Switched to Prepare for Shipment about an hour ago. I live near Atlanta

- Tried reference @ FedEx and ups - nothing

- Flights to the west coast leave the hubs (generally) later than the ones to East coast. The bigger cities have multiple flights with the morning delivery packages on the first flights (generally). I work for FedEx.

All that b*tching I did and I just now got 'Preparing for shipment." I couldn't be happier. Apple was bombarded with orders and I'm just glad I finally heard something. Card has been charged too.

People who are getting their cards charged, is it a pending charge or an actual charge? Apple is not supposed to charge you till your phone/order ships so that should be really good news if it is an actual charge to your card.

My pending charges happened last Friday. My credit card balance went back to normal and is now showing a balance reflecting an iPhone purchase. My delivery date still says 10/5 tho

Cool, then I would imagine yours should actually be shipping. Probably will take Apple some time to update given the amount of movement of product going on right now, but that is good news and gives some hope to us 10/5 waiters.
 
I just got off the phone with an Apple rep regarding some credit card stuff, and they also mentioned while my card has been charged, that doesn't mean it will be shipping soon. The system may just be getting ahead on things. We'll see though.
