A few minutes ago, I checked this thread and saw that people who have been "squeaky wheels" were suddenly seeing that their phones had shipped. I went to the UPS site and, sure enough, mine shipped from Horsham, PA at 6:10 tonight with a scheduled arrival date of 9/21.
Sure glad I'm one of the squeaky wheels!

I'll be f'ing damned...I just read your post and I told myself "yeah, there's no way, but let's give it a try anyways". Went to the UPS website and yep, sure enough, also mine shows shipped from Philly at 10:04PM tonight with an arrival date of tomorrow. I guess my 10-minute rant to the rep and their supervisor did something. I wonder if my threat of cancelling my account had anything to do with it....probably not. You're right though, glad to be one of the squeaky wheels! =)
