I've called around to every local AT&T store as well as apple stores. Apple stores say my best bet to get one soon is to do the reservation nightly at 9pm and hope i can get a reservation before all of them sell out and just pick it up whenever the next day.
The last AT&T store i called was a bit more helpful. He said they are thinking the next shipment will be around November 7th, as Apple is still dealing with the first wave and the "secondary" wave of pre orders.What i mean is everyone who ordered too late and got the 1 to 2 week delivery dates.
So Hopefully AT&T stores will start getting some stock in soon, Until i hear word though, i'll be trying to do nightly reservations to pick up in a local apple store
Shhhhh!!!
Ugh. Why did you have to go and tell everyone. I was hoping this would stay quite for a few days so I could go reserve or pickup a new 4S. Now im gonna have to compete against more people. Oh well.

I checked mine this morning too but I had to order with AT&T because apple wouldn't let me pick $5 text plan 
Hot diggity! I was 11/23 and now I'm showing upgradeable too - I guess I need to set a reminder to go to an AT&T store after work
Thanks for the heads up OP!!

You can upgrade at anytime. You just pay more to do so.Now most people in this thread is going to be upset next year when they can't upgrade because of the 18 month wait
Got off the phone with my local Apple Store. The salesperson said that they actually have non-reserved stock to sell right now, but only white iPhones available for AT&T. Just my luckI'm looking for black. I was pretty surprised to hear they have anything, though, especially for walk-in customers.

awesome, calling my 2 apple stores. i thought that if it was sold out for reservations they didn't have any at all! Here's hoping they have some!
Which is what I did every year until this year. Because I wan the 64GB, I did not want to pay $250 extra on top of the $399 or whatever the early upgrade price was so I waited. I had no problem waiting and now my wait has been cut short.
Yeah, that's what I thought. I know they say it's available first-come, first-serve, but considering almost nothing has been available to reserve each night I've checked, I didn't imagine there would be anything left to come for.
My brother's was 11/18 and is now eligible today.
The $18 upgrade fee is absolutely whack. I've never really thought about it too much or mentioned it because I seem to lose it in the 'excitement' of getting a new phone but, is there really a reason to have to pay that when you're signing up for another 2 years and paying a minimum of $200 for a new phone? Scumbags.

My upgrade was also moved from 11/22/2011. I was already at the AT&T this morning anyway because the store told me they can move my upgrade eligibility up. While waiting for a sales rep, I was surfing the Macrumors forums on a Samsung Galaxy II S on display and saw this. As soon as I found out, I left and was going to order it Apple.com since it only takes 1-2 weeks instead of 2-3 weeks from AT&T.
I figure what the heck, let me call the Apple store and try my luck. And surprisingly, they have it in stock and I was able to pick up the 4S without any reservation. I was literally running back to the mall from work. I got the AT&T white 32GB. Went to the mall twice and took more than 2 hours with the driving back and worth, but well worth the hassle

One of the stores had AT&T phones, but only a 32GB and i don't need that, i need a 16GB, so i'm doing the reservation if i can!!!
And Score!!
Just got back from the Apple store with new 16GB iPhone 4S in hand
Cannot believe how easy it was...restored from iCloud and not a thing was missing. Seriously impressed!!

I had actually completely forgot about the reservation part, I just walked in and they said they had new stock for walk in customers. Maybe give the stores a call?
Yah i would, but i won't be able to get in till after work tomorrow at 4pm. I'll most likely call anyways lol and trying this reservation each night!!!
Sucks they have so little AT&T, a few sprint but PLENTY of verizon ones..... UGH
Got my reservation at the Annapolis Mall Apple store tonight for a 32G black AT&T iPhone 4S. No trouble at all, but don't use Google Chrome to do it.
Apple.com order shipped in <24 hours
Fwiw, my phone (AT&T, 64GB) ordered yesterday shipped overnight. So much for 1-2 weeks!
