AT&T - iPhone 3G on Backorder for 5-7 Days.

[JIGPhone]

I am very surprised to hear that people are still waiting for phones to ship when they are readily availabe at the Apple store with no lines.

I also didn't want to risk having my 25% corporate discount removed for up to 2 billing cycles.

...another plus about going the direct fulfillment route is that you only pay tax on the subsidized price of the phone (in California, at least). This saved me $24.67 on my 16GB Black. If you purchase it at an Apple store or an AT&T store that actually has them in stock, they will tax you based on the unsubsidized $399/$499 price of the phone.

...and good news, I placed my DF order yesterday and it has already shipped out today! I think the iPhone shortage is over. Wooot!!!

Number in line?

Every time I input my info at the queue site the reply is: No Order 87245 found Or ATT server is slow

I used my store's zip.

Am I doing something wrong or is the site not working?

ATT site says backordered.

Yup, still waiting...

Well, I ordered two 8gs on Sunday the 10th (of August) and have still not received them. I got the first email just acknowledging the order that same day, but then nothing. I kept checking online and had to sign up (with FedEx) to get tracking emails. I then got an email that they had both been shipped on the 15th. It actually showed the FRT and phones were not on back order and had been shipped. When I clicked on the tracking number it shows that they were shipped the 15th via FedEx 2 day shipping. Now it says they were in Ft. Worth, TX and arrived in Memphis, TN this morning. I'm in AZ, so I have no idea why they are now further away. Mind you in the store I was told that they have to tell us 7-10 days, but that everyone was getting them in 3-5 and I would "for sure" have it by Monday. I am hoping it arrives before my other service is disconnected! I chose not to keep my same #s and I do get a discount, so don't want to go to Apple. The estimated date of delivery is Tuesday by 7 pm.
