I believe they flew the A380 a few times before the big day.

Watching them throw it around a bit at the Paris air show was interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH6tO1qZez8#t=1m06s

first flight is huge event for every airliner, media and spotters were camping out next to Paine Field days before it. I'm pretty sure it would have been spotted if it was flying before it was supposed to ;)

sorry to disappoint, but 787 first flight started today at 10:27AM PST http://flightaware.com/live/flight/BOE1
