I am pulling for you. I was June 15 order from Apple 16 gb. Sometime in last hour moved to prepared for shipment. Hope yours moves soon.
knowing my luck, it probably won't 
This might have already been answered, but how late can you cancel a preorder? Guy from Apple Cust. Supp. told me as long as it hasn't changed to "Prepared to ship" but if it's before the estimated shipment date, can I not still cancel it?
Maybe they ran out of boxes to put it in and that is the reason for Prepared for Shipment for several days.
For anyone that ordered late on June 15th and now have "prepared for shipment" or already shipped, did you get the 16 or 32GB?
I've seen a few people post here that ordered up to 13 minutes before me (I ordered at 8:55 PM PDT) and have now shipped....I'm wondering if the 32GB models are delayed, as that's what I ordered.
I wasn't bothered too much with the delay in shipping but now it's starting to get frustrating...

Hopefully I'll have mine by 10:30 in the morning as scheduled.
This thing is frustrating, to me they should have at least filled all the pre-orders and reservations first, or at least the ones from the 15th, kinda sucks for people that waited for the phones to go on sale and ordered them on day one should have came first over people that just walked in with out as much as a reservation. I'm glad for everyone that got phones on day one and yet seems only fair, first come first serve. Guess with selling 1.7 million phones over a few days time there will always be some unhappy people lol.
I have movement!!! I called earlier today and it was in customs, and now has left customs! Still scheduled delivery is June 29th 10:30 am.

I ordered mine very late on the 15th.... And it finally changed to shipped this morning. Now the delivery date has changed to July 1. Fed ex says it's still in hong kong, but at least it's shipped.
Interesting, thanks for the update on those ordering the 32GB late on the 15th, all...
Yeah I agree. I tried frequently from 7am until about 5pm and couldn't get an order all the way through. Had to leave for several hours and when I got back the ship date had been pushed back. I was going to try one of the 2 Apple stores near here but couldn't get off work. By the time I could go, 1 sold out of walk-ins and the other still had hundreds in line (which also ended up selling out I think).
At first with reports of the antenna issue I didn't mind the wait so much, but with all these others shipping that had similar later dates, it's getting frustrating to keep waiting.

I hear ya, I started trying to order around 5:30am Central time, didn't get my order in until after 10pm that night, long day, tried several times an hour. I was going to drive 2 hours to the nearest Apple store which is where I got my 3G 2 years ago, but that very night my order was changed to prepared to ship, its just as well, from what I read it was a madhouse down there. Oh well, the wait will be over soon, although it feels like forever.
When did yours go to prepared for shipment?
Just trying to get an idea on the time between prepared for shipment and your shipment notification. Thanks
