    So you are in the Bay area and you have a shippin.... well there goes MY theory .. bahstard!



    I actually ordered it and was going to pick it up at the apple store (my order is still there), but I lost my ID, rofl, and they say VALID ID of which I have none, just an old Drivers lic. soooo I ordered it online through apple and figured I'd just have one shipped and some lucky guy would get an iPhone Saturday when mine went back in inventory. So my "official" order went in June 12th at 10am or around there.

    I'm going to the Apple Store so that I can pickup my pre-ordered 3Gs, and flaunt it over the people standing in the line of folks that didn't pre-order, and that are hoping the supply lasts until it's their turn.

    I got a tracking number on my notification email. I did pay for expidited shipping, though if they're all arriving Friday, that's a wasted couple bucks.

    Would people that get their numbers post East, Central or West coast so we can see if I'm pretty smart at figuring out the obvious or I'm a blathering idiot? (or a little of both)



    I'm cali and still no tracking number.



    I am in the pacific northwest and my iPhone shipped this morning (I have a tracking number and it's been picked up by UPS) so I don't think they're shipping by distance, probably first orders are filled first. I ordered mine right after they announced the new iPhone and made ordering available online last Monday.

    By the way, my credit card has not been charged yet, though the hold has been placed on the charge amount, will probably show up tomorrow.

    Nope you get to pay the unbundled price for the phone, so the 299 is really 700 when figuring the taxes



    In ca I paid 61.17

    I only paid tax on the subsidized amount. 6% on 299.99.

    FWIW, I live in SoCal, ordered mine on Apple.com at 11 AM on Wednesday, it's listed as 'Prepared for shipment', but no tracking number yet.

    My friend ordered from ATT and said that he has a tracking number but the shipment status (as of this morning) is still "In Progress". The tracking number is not recognized by UPS so it hasn't been picked up yet.
