The thing is since mine is an "early early upgrade" (real upgrade is in Dec) i can only do it over the phone with AT&T, they cant even waive my upgrade fees because there doing it as a "favor".

I also had to order over the phone for the discount. I ordered on October 3rd and mine changed to pending shipment today. Has your's changed? I ordered a 16gb black.

I was just using the my orders link from our account. I never knew there was another link.

I have like 8 cases and screen protectors already haha. I really hate waiting. I surely hope it comes by Halloween. I wonder how firm their 14-21 days is.

Hah yeah waiting sucks. I'm not going to complain too much because I'm hearing horror stories from some of the people who preordered who still haven't gotten theirs yet.

Also the att people are saying a lot will come in earlier than estimated, not all though.

3 cases coming in from china now, they'll prob be here before my phone :rolleyes:

I am amazed that their's still preorders that haven't come yet, but honestly with talk of strikes and things over there who really knows whats happening. I have a candyshell and a poetic atmosphere already, and some nice looking tpu cases on their way 5 for 9.99 I couldn't pass it up. It needs to come so I stop getting that look from my husband every time I order something I don't really need haha!

I haven't talked to anyone at AT&T, just ordered mine online and try to wait patiently. Do hope they come early though.

I ordered my 32gb black phone from verizon on 9/23 and I expected the ship date to be 10/19. I was surprised to see it already prepared for shipping last sunday. I got it 10/3. Good luck with yours! Hopefully they ship out sooner than expected.

I got mine the same date as your 10/3. Same 32gb black i5. Mine came with a scratch and dent on the back. Did yours came perfect?

I ordered a few clearish/smoke tpu's... Not sure about hard plastic on the new iphone but I also want it to be low profile, somewhat protected, without losing its look. Which tpu did you go with? I'm leaning to the poetic as well but I've seen it might be really hard to remove.

These are the extra TPU. http://www.ebay.com/itm/320994400637?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 The poetic isn't TPU it's plastic, though the edges around the face of the phone feel sorta like TPU or some kind of rubber. It's a very stiff plasticy case.

The candyshell was really hard to decide on, but I have animals and kids so I do also want the phone to stay safe. It's the beautiful raspberry and black color, but we will see how much it gets used. All going to depend on the durability of the black phone. I've always wanted to go naked on the phone but I'm too skeered lol.

Also to the person that said they ordered on 10/6 and it got shipped today, I have a really super hard time believing that. Not to knock you down but most of us have been waiting for weeks.

Mine came flawless. I guess I lucked out? There is a tiny scratch on the bottom near one of the screws by the lightning connector, but I noticed it a couple days later, so it could have been my fault.

I'm glad I'm not the only one having to wait so long. Ordered on 9/28 and my estimated shipping date is 10/26. 18 more days to go. Yay.

I hate having to order thru Verizon but I have no choice because of my transferring upgrade situation. My local best buys, radioshacks, and the apple stores (I think) have the phone in stock.

I ordered mine on 9/21 on the Apple site. With scheduled delivery of Oct 23 - Oct 29. It's still 'processing'.

I also can't change the shipping address yet...I'm guessing it'll allow me to edit the shipping address when the status changes to 'preparing for shipment'?

Wow. I guess I'll stop doubting. I certainly don't understand why yours would come any faster than any of ours. Congrats though!

Hi,

I just ordered 2 black, 64 gigs, yesterday morning (10/8), through AT&T by phone and just got a shipping notice now. Phones will be here by tomorrow (10/10), 3pm. I'm so surprised because I was told by CS that it would be 14 to 21 days. YAY!!!!!!!!
