FedEx just delivered mine. I had all the same information you did. Mine also came out of Oakland. I'm in Fresno.
He was leaving mine as I got to the door. Driver said they can leave boxes from AT&T but not from Apple. Still depends on neighborhood and set-up.
I'm off to play now....

I filled out the pre sign paper at the apple website, so hopefully fedex will leave it at my doorstep, hidden away as per my instructions.

I really wish I had gotten it yesterday, I wouldve soooo walked by the iPhone 4 line, and pull off some shenanigans.
Like walk by while recording with the flash on or something
Or ask to take a picture and then pull out the iPhone 4.

Some iPhone 4s Experiencing Display Discoloration?
Wednesday June 23, 2010 04:30 PM EST; Category: iPhone
Written by Eric Slivka
Image from "elitemrp" in Apple discussion forums
A number of readers in our forum have discovered that their iPhone 4s arriving today are exhibiting areas of brown or yellow discoloration on the highly-touted Retina display. Users in Apple's own discussion forums are also beginning to notice the problem.
Image from "BlakeRx" in MacRumors forums
At least one user paid a visit to the Genius Bar at his local Apple retail store but was told that there are no replacement units available at the moment. Given the iPhone 4 shortages, it may be some time until affected users can obtain replacements.
The prevalence of the issue is unknown at this time, but there are a significant number of users reporting experiencing it on their phones.

I hope mine is unaffected...

It would be pretty amazing if this was the reason that Jobs demo didn't work. I wonder if WiFi has the same issue.

Well, they've already said there's an issue with how many bars display, and it's not accurate.
We'll see if it's an actual reception issue or a rendering issue.
BTW - GOT MY SHIP NOTICE!!!
For my bumper. FML.

^ new iOS4 has been jailbroken/unlocked now...
according to dev team, your phone has to be jailbroken previously and not with spirit jb
i have 3.0 as well, and i'm assuming it's fine (someone correct me if i'm wrong)
but when i sell it on craigs, i might just keep it as 3.0 and let the buyer handle it
(or do you guys think it will draw more people if i advertise 4.0 unlocked/jailbroken?)

I say leave it as 3.0 and let whoever buys it deal with it. You'll likely get more enthusiasts that way, since they can do it themselves 
on the screen and signal issues.

I'll be listing my 3GS on craigslist in a couple of weeks... if I find a buyer willing to pay my asking price, I'll be upgrading and getting a low-budget phone for my mom since she was planning to take my upgrade. Also depends on new users' initial impressions and reviews.

The plot thickens so apparently the phone doesn't lose calls even though it says there's only one bar of signal.
Oh and in the video the guy demo's the call by calling PAYPAL!!!!!! AHAHAHA!!!

Reader Chris Sheehan did a speed test with the phone sitting down, with his hands on the phone, and one with his hands on but with a leather case on it. They're in order, and the one with his hands on the bare phone is really bad times.

doesn't this new phone have the ability to switch networks automatically? so that might be why speeds are so low cause it's switched to edge network, automatically.

yes, its probably to due with the new way that apple set the iphone to switch networks.
something about switching networks to a less congested one even if it has good signal with whatever it was on.
