I have posted this in a couple of threads, but I thought I would post this on its own for what its worth.
These shipping status notifications are not what they appear to be. I could well be wrong, but I am speaking from prior experince with pre-ordering the iPad last year.
Its most likely that the shipped status you are seeing is the iPhone being moved from the warehouse to Fedex. Fedex will hold the iPhones until the predetermined ship date next week. This is exactly what they did with the iPad last year. All iPads in the initial release were shipped overnight so that everyone got them on the same day.
Some of you will say "But I have already been billed!". This happened with the iPad as well. Apple actually withdrew the funds and then put them back into their respective accounts. This is not to be confused with a hold. If you dont believe me, read some early threads over at ipadforums.net
Let me say that until you get a tracking #, these shipping status changes are meaningless.
I'll end by admiting that I could be wrong, and I hope I am. But I wanted you to know what happened with the iPad last year. Lots of people got their hopes up ... and were a little let down that the iPad shipped later than they thought.
