Iphone 4 ship date of August 5th..

Is it taking the full time for the iphone 4 to ship or has anyone received the phone earlier than what the expected ship date is?

Ok I just thought from your status. I guess what you can do is wait until noon tomorrow as delivery takes 7 days or so. If you recieve it tomorrow then its good, you may wish to cut it fine and wait until saturday. That would mean exact week until 7th.

I would definately advise to wait until tomorrow. Saturday if you feel lucky.

Ugh so frustrating! Call me impatient, but my phone has been sitting in the black hole of Lantau Island since 9:00AM my time... YESTERDAY! (it's 12:00 PM currently). I was surprised it shipped out early, being that it wasn't supposed to ship until August 4th. Funny thing is I had high hopes of getting it before the weekend since I received my case within 3 days.

I took your advice and called apple immeadeately to see what the delay was. Nobody could tell me what the problem was at apple or at&t. So finally the apple rep called my local store and told them to make sure that I got one. So long story short, my online order got cancelled, but I was able to go pick one up in store today. So I think I got it probably 5-7 days before I otherwise would have, so it all worked out.

OK, just got off the phone with Apple sales support, they advice to keep the order alive and that it's possible I'll get a ship notice during the weekend, if that will happen they believe I'll get it before Aug 7.
They stated I can cancel it if it's ships too late and the carrier will return it to Apple, not cost for me.
I hope to get some good news soon...

Update!! As of 8:50 this morning PST, my phone is STILL ***** sitting in Hong Kong. I'm guessing I'm just gonna have to hop on a plane and take myself a little trip over the pond, bust down the door to the fedex warehouse, and show them how to put a ***** box on an airplane.

Haha, now that I'm sane again, what could seriously be causing this delay? I mean 3 scans *so far* at the Hong Kong facility with no movement is kind of starting to worry me into making some phone calls.

*You wont believe it...*
I got an email to pick up my reserved Iphone 4 from an Apple store at London, I got until Saturday today to pick it up and I'll arrive to London only on Monday....
I tried to call the store and ask them to hold it for me until Monday, even offered to pay for it over the phone, but they wont do it.
On the other hand my Aug 4 shipped order is still Not Yet Shipped... I have the feeling I'll be back empty handed.

*Anyone has any ideas how I can play this hand???*

Iphone 4 ship date of August 5th..
