I ordered mine on July 9th and all I still have is 2-4 weeks. I hope something happens this week. I really really Hope!
 
Wow.

The status on Fedex hasn't changed from "International Release" and "delivery by July 17th", but my iPhone just showed up.
 
Congrats!

Mine still says in transport from Memphis but I am pretty sure it is in Honolulu or already here. Looks like the Fed Ex computers have not updated anything yet this morning.

Mine still says International Release as well, but I haven't gotten it. Hopefully it will come anyway like yours! Otherwise they are late because my delivery date was the 16th by 10:30 am.. that's today!
 
I guess I'm only 500 miles from Indianapolis, so it came quicker than they predicted. Still its odd that Fedex website still hasn't updated. Usually they're good about keeping things up to date.
 
try using iship.com

it updates faster

Thanks for the iship trick.

My phone left Honolulu last night right before midnight so that means it should be on Kauai. I usually get that type of shipment within the next hour and a half. hehe

UPDATE: On the truck for delivery for just over an hour now.

Thanks for the tip. Luckily I had it delivered to work so it wasn't an issue that it turned up early (rather, it was a nice surprise)!

Sadly I just found out it won't work on my old AT&T plan (pre-Cingular). Still I got them to upgrade me to the new AT&T family plan, I didn't mention the iPhone, and they're sending me 2 new free phones because apparently my old phone isn't compatible. As my wife has a almost brand new unlocked GSM phone she's happy with that'll be 2 new phones I'm putting on Ebay ASAP! :)

Still, means the iPhone will be staying in its box for the next few days. :(
 
IT is here. Waiting for activation now. Not sure if it should start syncing yet or not. Fex ex guy said he had a bunch of them.

ACTIVATED. Even got a great new very easy to remember phone number.

Good luck all!
 
I got my phone at about 10am as well. Setup for me took 5 min. but it seemed to take a while before i got service on the phone. I was also disappointed that it took FedEx a long time to update their site, but oh well i gpt it anyway.
 
Hey guys...

Ordered mine back on the 5th, with just the 2-4 week thing still showing. My bank account hasn't been hit with the charge yet. Is this the norm... not to be charged 'til it's shipped?

Thanks for any info.
 
No charge until shipped. That way you can easily cancel if your local AT&T gets some in before it ships.

I ordered online and cancelled that order the next day when I got a phone at an Apple store instead. The charge was deducted from my available credit on my card but when I cancelled, it took about 3 days before my credit line was restored.
 
Thanks for the replies.

I had given up looking on the local level. Maybe I'll poke around now.
 
ordered mine on the 1st, show up today at 10:40am and the fedex guy gave my dog a biscuit! :)
 
I'd settle for just the iPhone. ;)

Ordered on the 5th and haven't gotten past the Order Acknowledgment phase. I'm still at "Not yet shipped".

Been hoping for a "Prepared for Shipment" sometime before Friday. :eek:

I ordered mine 4 days after you. I'm hoping for a Prepared for Shipment this week as well. I keep checking for an update every day, and I grow sad with disappointment from seeing the status unchanged every day. Here's to hoping that a change occurs this week...if not, I think I'm going to ebay it.
 
Mine has now shipped on July 19 (Shenzen time), July 18 EST. Expected delivery Monday the 23rd.

Well, at least I have the Harry Potter book to tide me over the weekend =)

Congrats! I'm still waiting for something to happen to mine :(.
 
ordered mine on july 7 and checked today and says ship by Aug 2 delivered by Aug 6 :)

Same here. However, it's not saying much. I mean, that is within the 2-4 week time frame. The end of it, as a matter of fact.

I've known this since the 5th... the day I ordered. :rolleyes:
 
I ordered mine 3rd of July and it's enroute now.

Just so it helps inform others in the queue:

My order place on 3rd July,

Email on the 7th stating shipping by 20th.

Shipped on the 19th,

I live in Sydney Australia and it's a bit annoying tracking the Fedex parcel flying AWAY from me to the far side of the globe to my schooldays mate in Ogunquit Maine just so he can post it back to me!...Oh well the things one must do to circumvent Apple's "Grand Plan"

Warmingup
 
Thanks for the heads-up.

As previously mentioned, I placed my order on the 5th. Sometime late last week I received the "Ships by: Aug 2 / Delivers by: Aug 6". And yesterday, the 22nd, I received the "Prepared for Shipment" message. :)
