I ordered my 16GB black iPhone yesterday in S. California.  Before I ordered, I asked the salesman at two different stores that told me they had received an email on Wed that said that although the white ones had shipped quicker in the past, they were now expecting the wait to be the same as the black ones.  I was considering a white one so I would get it before I leave on a trip in 10 days but changed my mind when he said that.  BTW, what is FRT?  The oldest orders from the store I purchased from that haven't shipped are from 7/23.  Right now I am #50 on the list.

FRT is freight.  BTW, I am 25ther and mine shipped today to arrive tomorrow.  16GB Black.  Keep hope alive.
