i knew it wasn't real... or this website would have shut down. lol...ok... for mine. UPS.com says it is in kansas. about 30 min from my house in, MO...packagetrackr.com says it has arrived in Kansas City, MO and the UPS station.... so i dunno. rep told me i should still get it on monday either way.

UPDATE: My G1 is in Salt Lake City, UT so maybe by some miracle i will get it tomorrow. 1 1/2 hour flight from KY to UT.

For all of you fretting over tracking updates, this is what many UPS service agents have told me:

When a package is scanned "Departure Scan", it is loaded into a palette, and may not be UNloaded from that palette until it reaches its final destination (depending on where the other palette contents are going). IF the palette is not unloaded until delivery day, your status could go from "Departure Scan" all the way to "Out for Delivery". All depends on when the shipping palettes are unpacked at the distribution centers.

Just my $.02

Thanks alot... I guess mine is a good example:

Package Progress
Location Date Local Time Description
- HONOLULU, HI, US 10/18/2008 9:01 A.M. ARRIVAL SCAN
- LOUISVILLE, KY, US 10/18/2008 6:31 A.M. DEPARTURE SCAN
- LOUISVILLE, KY, US 10/17/2008 12:49 P.M. ORIGIN SCAN

US 10/15/2008 10:52 P.M. BILLING INFORMATION RECEIVED

*Those times are local... so yea, it does NOT take 2hrs 30mins from KY to HI

Does anyone know for sure whether or not the package will need a signature?
