Checked status last night and delivery was scheduled for July 13th but with no shipping details (had ordered dock too)
Got a phone call at 7:45 this morning from UPS asking where my place was and it arrived an hour ago!
Sync nearly done

So I also had the estimated delivery of 14th July then moved back to 15th.
I sent an email to TNT, they're checking but apparently the references I have on Apple Store website doesn't exist.
As for Apple, the rep told me there are delays at the moment (no wayyyyyyy ) but I still could be able to receive it before the 15th July.
Wait and see...

I hope you get it really soon
Apple has refunded me £25 for the issues I've had with TNT. It's as if they waited until I recieved my iPhone, then responded to the issue.
I am in the same boat, est del when i ordered was the 4th i think but its been 5-6th for a while now and showing on the tracking page as 15th. Called Apple who said it was due into Luxembourg today...hoping to receive it before the launch of the iphone5...
Good morning!

Don't suppose you know where the phones are that Apple said were getting into Luxembourg yesterday?
This sucks I ordered 2 bumpers with my iPhones and so far no update and I don't even have a tracking number all I see on the page is this:
Shipped to *******, GB 01 Jul 2010
Estimated Delivery Date (Subject to change) 15 Jul 2010 (Subject to change)
Current Delivery Status In Transit to Customer - Shipment on Schedule 07 Jul 2010
Signed by
And I want my iPhone ASAP! Had I known they would merge both shipments I would've left the Bumpers until later on to order! Stupid Stupid me!

review
risking a waste of time because nobody is reading in this thread anymore... here's my quick review:
Name: iPhone 4
Generation: 4
ModelCode: iphone_4
Screen size: 3.5 inch
Screen resolution: 940x640 pixels
Colour: Black
Capacity: 16GB
Factory: 85 (China)
Model introduced: 2010
Production year: 2010
Production week: 27 (July)
Production number: 33918 (within this week)

nice design, amazing display, sleek finish and fast usage. It should be noted that I upgraded from a 1st generation iphone, so for me this is quite a big change.
-Signal Issue: yes, see below
-Yellow Blotches: none
-Proximity Sensor: ok
-Camera flare: none
So overall quite nice. Havent tried facetime or the video camera yet but since there were no apparent problems I am just gonna assume that it's all good. Would like to give more details on the antenna. I did the same thing as andatech and my ip4 is now showing the actual dB signal strength instead of the bars and here are my conclusions:
-I can replicate the deathgrip, although not everytime I try
-Signal drop of the grip varies, sometimes signal drops by 10dB, sometimes by 30 db
-it is interesting to note that my general signal (phone flat on table) is worse than with my 1st gen iphone. my old phone showed -51 to -60, whereas the ip4 shows -70 to -89 (exact same location and circumstances), both still full 5 bar signal
-Initially, I was not really worried about the antenna, because I thought my coverage is quite good (-51) so the deathgrip would actually not affect me at all.
Mapping my tests to the below chart I actually get mixed results:
Good Reception:
-Leaving the phone flat on the table I get -70 (5 bars)
-Holding the phone lighly in my hand I get -87 (5 bars)
-Holding the antenna gap normally I get -101 (4 bars)
Conclusion: I am not affected by the signal issue
Medium Reception:
-Leaving the phone flat on the table I get -85 (5 bars)
-Holding the phone lighly in my hand I get -97 (4 bars)
-Holding the antenna gap normally I get -110 (1 bar)
Conclusion: I am affected by the signal issue. With bad reception the deathgrip results in -113 or sometimes no signal
Haven't made any calls yet (haha can you believe it?) so I dont know if any calls are dropping. With medium reception I could potentially still make calls without any problems at -100 to -110, yet this would only show one bar. I am in fact a lefty but somehow hold the phone on the upper part while using it for calls. Given this and the fact that I mostly have good reception (02 in central london area), I will hold on to the phone and belive this will not be an issue for me. But I do believe that all phones are affected in the same manner due to the antenna design of the phone, so to fix this properly apple would need to do more than just changing the bar signal map with a software fix. Design Flaw? Maybe... asking customers to purchase a "soft fix" (bumper) to make a phone work is absolutely unacceptable business practise. They shouldve then sold the phone with a disclaimer that the chosen antenna design may not work for you.
Hope this helps.
