Ordered mine this morning, at that time I was given an estimated delivery date of Dec-6 through Dec 12. This is my first time ordering my phone through Apple. 32GB Black & Slate :D.

For my iPhone 4 I just bought it at the Verizon Store, I am paying full price so I can keep my Unlimited plan. Any idea when I can expect to see the charge on my CC.

Well i had to take my imac in to my local apple store for a hard drive switchout and i left with a brand new 32 gb slate black iPhone 5. So i just cancled my online order.

Changed to "Preparing for shipment" today! At last!
Hope that an iphone is really worth this long wait!
Seems like they change to preparing for shipment exactly 7 days before the earliest delivery date.

It changed back to "Processing items"! How can that be possible?

I ordered a black 32GB on 30/9 from a retail store here in Sweden and still nothing. I'm really fed up with this retail store because they can't even give me an estimated delivery date. They just keep telling me that they don't know when the delivery from Apple will arrive, because according to them Apple only gives them a 24-hours notice.

So, after 8 weeks customer service finally gave me an estimated delivery date, 26/11 - 30/11.

Hopefully I'll get it on Monday but at least now I know it will arrive someday next week.

EDIT: This is my post from 9/10.

Country where order was placed:
Sweden

Retailer the iPhone was purchased from:
Phonehouse.se (Tele2)

Specific iPhone model that was ordered:
32GB Black

Date the order was placed:
30 september 2012

Status:
Back order. The customer service at Phonehouse told me 2-6 weeks.

I want it now so bad!

17 Days ago my supplier told me it would be here next day, 16 days ago my supplier said it would be two weeks, 17 days later ( today) they tell me , after being on hold for 45 minuted , that nobody had reordered it and that she ( the bint on the other end of the phone ) would order it now and it would be with me friday.

So about 4 weeks to go yet:D

When I ordered my phone on the 18/11/12, my delivery estimate was 05/12/12-11/12/12 (apple online store)
It's now been updated to 03/12/12.
Only 12 days to go (hopefully with no blemishes)

my Italian[1] iPhone 5 White 16GB ordered 30th October has just shipped from ---?--- somewhere, today 24th November. Delivery might be ---?--- 29th November? all data as yet undefined

My UPS.com tracking is incomplete because Apple's "Shipped" seems to actually mean "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at the UPS facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated." Which from my point of view doesn't mean 'Shipped' but possibly just 'Allocated' or "Reserved for pickup'. The better news in Italy - apart from the outrageous prices - is that ordering delays at present seem to be two weeks instead of the month that I've had to wait


[1]= most expensive and prestigious iPhone in the world, unless you know better :D

Really excited for you all.

I'm a tech enthusiast and oddly an Android fanboy but cannot get enough of the iPhone 5.

It is a superb device.

I hear a lot of gripes about "not enough of a change from the 4S", well... it is. Otherwise it wouldn't have tempted me across from a Galaxy S3 which is a superb device.

The bigger screen makes a world of difference and I am glad that Apple have finally come across to that way of thought. They got me now.
