Yeah, that number would be formatted without the underscore. I won't know for sure until I get the reference number from those who claim that their phone actually shipped. I can then try to decode everything from there. It is likely that Apple and Verizon won't provide tracking details until it has been scanned for the first time in the US. They very well could be floating around somewhere in the world.

Apple-shipped phones are floating around Korea and China at this time. They have then hit almost every country in the US just so that it lands perfectly on launch. They cray.

Here is the breakdown for zeros:

  • 1 digit order number - D771001_000000001
  • 2 digit order number - D771001_000000012
  • 3 digit order number - D771001_000000123
  • 4 digit order number - D771001_000001234
  • 5 digit order number - D771001_000012345
  • 6 digit order number - D771001_000123456
  • 7 digit order number - D771001_001234567

This may sound silly too, but my location code starts with a number, that matter?

Ok shipped folks, mind if I ask what state you live in and approx what time you ordered and when the confirmation email came. If you know when your card was authorized that'd be helpful too. All to analyze what is likely random but hey gives me something to do.
 
Haha now my order status doesn't have an expected ship date anymore!

So I checked the status page they send in the original email and it looks like mine is about to ship.

Live in California. Card was just charged today around the same time I got the shipping email.

I ordered Thursday night at around 11:55 PM.

Awesome, thanks! (And congrats, BTW.)

Thanks!
 
Again, if someone who already had theirs shipped can PM me their reference number that would be great.
 
Recived email confirmation on 12:02 am and my card has been charged. Yea looks like they are starting today!
 
Just checked the Verizon Wireless forums and it looks like quite a few are shipping! :D

Edit: My debit card was just charged for the full amount from Verizon!

Teehee. Ditto. I keep seeing letters in front of everyone's location codes. I just feel special.

086----

I also have a 7-digit order code. 159----.

I ordered mine around 2:58am Friday morning. Got my confirmation email by 2:59am. Still says mine is "in process."

UPDATE: It was just set to "Your order has been sent for processing."

And the ship date has been removed...

2: And now I'm seeing the charge on my credit card statement online!
 
I got my confirmation email from Verizon at 12:00PST. My Preorder detail said until today Ship Date: 9/21/2012. As of today it says:

We received your order and it is in process. Payment not taken yet.
Expected Ship Date: 10/05/201

What?!
