I'm not sure why people are assuming that Verizon will get the iPhone 5 at the same time that AT&T does. It is quite plausible that Apple maintains a delayed availablity model between these 2 networks for a vairety of reasons.
Got a tip for us?

I think you're checking the wrong place. You have to go to the iPhone pre-order page and click on check order. It's a totally different page for iPhone pre-orders.
Anyone have an order through business account? I couldn't get one through because it kept generating an error message in the checkout process. It didn't finally go through until 4am (see below). I'm not sure if this means the warehouse is empty for pre-orders? Or maybe they'll receive more shipments from Apple?

Not true. Last year for the AT&T pre-order, mine arrived one day early and others arrived 2 days early. Apple and Verizon both say on their sites, "Will arrive ON or BEFORE 2/10". So it's very possible they could arrive early. But I would assume, just like the AT&T version last year, they will be coming from China.
Verizon did tell me this morning that it is first come first shipped, so those that got in early WILL get their's early.
Refresh
anyone else sitting on the order page hitting refresh, im waiting for that shipped status!!!!!??

I just ordered mine about a half hour ago - got the confirmation message saying the expected ship date is the 10th? Did anyone else get this kind of estimate as well?
That will totally suck if it doesn't even ship out until the day that I could have just gone to a store to buy one....
I ordered mine the first thing this morning, at 3 am Eastern and this is the same thing it shows for mine when I just checked.
I do have an ACE order number and location number. But it hasn't shipped. I'm surprised at my order number, it's 7 digits and I literally started my order at 3:01 am.
order number?
order number for your apple one? there shipping up to # like 3000 last i could see from the posts here!

Don't you think since these have been in production since December that there would be a stockpile in a warehouse all packed and ready to go? It's not like a completely new design that hasn't been released so I wouldn't think Apple would be as strict to let a few ship to their most loyal customers first.
Ace number
that must be the ACE NUMBER and thats the "order number were referring to"

They actually opened up verizonwireless around 2:48 I believe. This is why your digits are longer.
I'm taking a wild guess that they are in the US as well. There has been a massive build-up to this day, and I think (hope actually) that Verizon will reward those loyal customers who have been with them for a long time (such as myself since 2005) with the iPhone well in advance of those persons who don't have Verizon Wireless accounts.
Oddly enough, Verizon and Apple will be taking orders on the 9th, with an in store pickup of the device on the 10th for all other customers. Now maybe I've taken entirely too many shots to the head from MMA matches but it seems to me that if I wasn't going to receive my phone early, then what was the sense of a pre-order if I can't get my phone sooner than the masses? Getting my phone shipped to me on the 10th (with a probable arrival date of the 11th) because I pre-ordered would put me getting my phone behind people that weren't currently Verizon Wireless customers. That, in my scrambled brains, makes no sense to me.
my order # over 1 million at 3:09 AM order confirmation
Is it possible to sell a million online from 10 til 3 AM to a little after 3 when I ordered mine? My order # is 7 digits, whereas the guys below have very low #s Of course my order # is from verizon. Did you get your # from Apple or verizon?

They probably are really shipping units with no holds. Why? Because then those folks won't be more lines to risk bogging up the activation servers on the 10th. It is unlikely that that many ATT users are in a position to switch right now so with existing customers handled early they could avoid the lock ups that have hit on every other launch day
Dude.... I was originally with 360 Communications which sold to Alltell. I left Alltel because of customer service issues in 2005 and went with Verizon. I haven't had a single problem with them since. Really happy with Verizons service which incidentally took over for Alltel in my area 2 years ago. The more things change...
Mine just changed to "shipped" in the past 20mins.
No tracking, like the rest. As much as I'd love it to be on it's way I'm thinking it's just the pre-package process. They're boxing the 2million+ pre-orders, loading them onto the docks, and pre-printing the FedEx info since I'm sure it'll take 2-3 days to just get the orders ready.
