I ordered in PA at exactly 3:00 a.m. on Feb. 3. I had a confirmation within an hour, and before 7 a.m. it was showing on the Verizon Track Status page as shipped. This morning (02/04/11), I had the carrier information and a tracking number. The tracking information indicated it had arrived at a location about an hour from my home in NE PA. Around lunchtime today, the tracking information updated and said it had left that facility around 10:20 a.m. Given how close it was, I'm sure it's at the carrier's local distribution center about 3 miles from my house. I thought I'd be lucky enough to have a late afternoon delivery, but no such luck. My guess from what I've seen and read elsewhere is these devices are being strategically shipped to local UPS and FedEx centers for a massive Monday delivery frenzy. That would make sense given that everyone gets his/her iPhone on the same day. Imagine the uproar and virtual sniping if a handful of people got their phones today simply because they were closer to the storage facilities. I could be wrong, but that's my theory, and I'm sticking to it!
