Carrier T-Mobile 5S Shipping Thread

I just got off the phone with t-mobile and the rep claims that I should get a text or email with tracking information towards the middle of this week with my tracking information for an Gold 32GB 5S that was ordered at 6AM EST. Anyone else who ordered in this category/time get this results as well?
I have an estimated delivery date of 09/26 with the status 'backordered'. Crossing all fingers. I also have an order placed with Apple.com but their estimated delivery is 10/07. Goo T-mo!!
Well I actually got my order in for a 32gb gold before 12 am (3 am for me) since I checked the upgrade site and they were there. Probably about 10-15 minutes before. Everything went pretty smooth and I had an estimated date of 9/27 then later that morning the order said backordered but the date is still the same.
I just can't find out anything solid as to whether that date is still accurate or not. I figure if it ships out today or tomorrow it'll still get here by then.

similar situation to me. I went to T store on friday morning around 8 am but only black in stock. I purchased one for me and ordered a silver one for my wife. The online order track showed that it would be delivered by 10/01. Later friday Tmobile's email told me it was backordered but the estimated date is still the same. Really have no idea what is going on in T's system.
My 16gb white/silver just arrived!
I got it activated, it's applying an OS update now, and is charging. Looking forward to getting going with it after it's got a full charge! :-D
(I'd use it while charging but I have it charging in an out-of-the-way place so my cable-philic cat doesn't try chewing on the charge cable while I use it.)
Switching over from an HTC One. Looking forward to seeing what Apple's latest and greatest is like!

I'm interested in the answer to this question too. I ordered online at release time and if orders made through the store have priority that is slightly aggravating.
My tracking number was finally updated. It says I'll get it Wednesday.

Just got home after work at 6 PM and UPS came to knock my door at 7:02 PM and gave me a box. DONE !
Yup , that time I was in bedroom and my wife received and sign on the UPS machine and that's it .
Damn , she like it more than me . Gold in real life way different that Apple's pictures.
I ordered a 16gb gold one at 12:19 PST and mine says backordered with estimated delivery date of Sept 23rd (I got nextday shipping)
Sigh, at least you have an estimated date. Ordered two phones Friday AM (5:39AM PST), Grey and Gold 64GB, and my status is still 'Being Processed'. 96 hours and no change. Support says it is due to the Gold phone, but cannot split the order to ship the grey one now pending the Gold phone availability. Am shifting from AT&T, but now am getting bad vibes about T-Mobile. Have had several folks from T-Mobile say that phones ordered before 2pm on Friday should ship early this week, but now I think they did not really know and rather than say that were just saying something.
Bad start with my new provider....
