July 2 iPhone pre-orders shipping early?

We don't want to get anyone's hopes up here, but one of our readers just sent us his shipment notification and tracking info for a second round, July 2 iPhone 4 order and it looks like he may be getting it a tad early -- June 30 according to Apple and June 28 according to FedEx.

Now there's many a slip between an arrival and a ship, so let us know if any of you are also getting your iPhone 4 shipment emails or tracking info, and what your dates are showing.

Here we go again!

[Thanks tipster!]
