I have tried synching with iTunes 8.2 several times this morning and it still shows version 2.2.1 as being the current iPhone OS version. Engadget is calculating the launch time as 1PM EST from information gathered on some of Apple's and cellular carrier international web sites.
That is a bummer since I won't be connected to iTunes at 1PM…
Even more discerning is that I still have not received any notification on my iPhone due for Friday. I ordered on att.com and it still says, "in progress" as my status. I called AT&T today and they said they will be released today, but the rep didn't know what that meant. By the sound of it, most who ordered through apple.com got tracking numbers already, but those on att.com have not. Guess I should have ordered through apple.com. The rep thought she might have heard that they wouldn't ship until Friday, which would really be frustrating. There are also rumors that they are holding back online orders to ensure they have enough phones to meet in-store demand. Still, I ordered last Wednesday AM, so I should be towards the front of the online orders.

Same here, my order is in processing status. I have received 2 emails confirming the order. The AT&T Twitter did say to expect an email with tracking info today. We will see. I will post if I get anything.
