One of mine is already in the Fedex distribution center in Elizabeth NJ (64GB black). I ordered a white 64GB as well and that hasnt been shipped out yet. Weird
I live in Colorado during the summer, but I go to UNL. So my phone is shipping to Lincoln, NE.
Uptight are we? A handful sample from this thread would actually prove my point. Based on sample size (number of users on this thread) vs amount being shipped (crap load more that don't know about this thread) a handful from here would be more than a small error.
But, I have no reason to debate this any more. There will never be a definitive answer. Many will get their phone early just like they did with the 4s and just like they did with the 4. Errors...maybe. You can certainly look back at my posts from Feb 2011 to see how many of us got our phones a day or two earlier than the absolute Apple release date.
The glimmer of hope is why we are all still posting here LOL.
Ya never know until ya get it.

Cool.
But to use the logic that FedEx and ups can't handle all the phones on Friday is nonsense. There are millions of packages on thes trucks every day. This little blip in packages is a mosquito on an elephants ass. I'd bet that the average FedEx truck has less than 10 iPhones on it Friday.
I can wait as long as needed, but that would eat me alive.

Ok, I can see that. Fact is many were given earlier dates. Not just on this forum but many others. What would be the reasoning for many getting 19th, many getting 20th and many others getting 21st? Chance of this being an error is slim. Why not just batch list the date as 21st? There is still a good chance that the phones will deliver on Friday, but again, we had tons of us get the 4 and the 4s a day or two early. Requested is just that, requested.
I sure hope to get mine early whether it was planned or an error. Either one would work for me.
Just called the Internet Sales number posted previously in the thread.
They were super helpful and answered right away!!
I had ordered around 4AM CST (2 am pacific time) and I asked if I was still on track to get it Friday because my card hasn't been charged or anything like that! she said I still was and they're going through and processing them today. She said that "all of you guys who woke up early to preorder it" don't have anything to worry about, which was reassuring :-D

Well I hope I'm one of the early one then.
I ordered mine around 6:45 a.m. PDT (CA) on the 14th via Vz's 611 phone connect. Got the confirmation even before the conversation was over. Now, when I try to get an update on the Vz order status website - and click "phone order" - I get a message the site is having technical problems and all the boxes go blank.
If I check "verizon.com" as the order source, I get the same delivery date (the 26th) as is on the order confirmation. No sign of a charge on my CC as yet.

Yep. That's my location, too, and I got an email around 2:30 pm EST letting me know the tracking number and the package location (Memphis, TN).
i have confidence people will get phones day before on thursday @ earliest. with a few getting tomorrow.
