Its possible or they'll hold it at the local facility till Oct22nd which they better not!

No clue. People have been tossing GA around as the place of origin for ALL the phones. I'm not sure where they got the idea from. I would think the shear volume would prompt T-Mobile to disburse the phones over several locations. Can anyone confirm this?

I'm sure the phones are comming from the manufactures warehouse, not Tmo. I'll check the HTC website for possible location.

Now, that said... is there anyway to track the delivery truck down if the driver refused to follow the note??

They will probably not leave it there... IF you live in an apt tell them to leave it with Security/ Resident manager/ neighbor etx

Does UPS have an efficient tracking system? (IE shows the status on the website when it arrives at your local warehouse?)

As far as I know, the system is not real time.. it gets updated every evening... Someone said otherwise earlier, but I didnt get proof... my proof is that I have recieved packages earlier and still see the status unchanged

Ummm... Taiwan? I don't think HTC have any HQ out in the US right?

Quite honestly, I have never seen any carrier holding a package at a local facility besides USPS. What is more likely is for them to take their time when picking up the package. But if T-Mobile is aiming for a 22nd delivery date, there is no way they can do selective pickup on 100,000+ individual packages. Consider some locations would take 7 days to deliver to, that would mean UPS would have to start trucking the phones either today or tomorrow to have a chance getting them delivered by next Wednesday. So some places should get it earlier...
