I'm still hopeful, actually pretty happy that I'm not alone in this exact same situation. That damn 3gs email damn near pushed me over the edge though.
Got a tip for us?

I'm still hopeful, actually pretty happy that I'm not alone in this exact same situation. That damn 3gs email damn near pushed me over the edge though.
Should I be concerned that I just got an email from AT&T with the subject "Let's talk about your new iPhone" that starts with "We hope you're enjoying your new iPhone 3GS?" This doesn't make me feel very optimistic...
i got the same email but mine says iphone 3g lol

Mine just says "We hope youre enjoying your new phone." and that when it says "Your Phone:" It is just blank.
ordered 6/16 @ 12:58pm PST. never went to backordered.
now shipped, but via UPS.
just got a "Let's talk about your New iPhone" email, but the verbiage mentions 3G (not even S
i got the same "lets talk about your new iphone" email but mine said 3gs
so i was reading this thread and decided to check even though i just checked 30 min ago...
VOILA! No more 1 under back order, but no tracking number. I do have a charge on my CC though!
Things are looking up!

I'm calling it a night. Been looking at this thread and the AT&T order status page for almost 18 hours now. I'm being cautiously optimistic about my 101 backordered phone....only because so many other premiere orders are in the same position. Here's hoping that we all wake up to shipped phones that arrive on the 24th! (or 23rd...I'd take that too!)
Personally I would say that th chances of anyone getting it on the 23rd is slim. But with everyone of these launches I always hear about a few who got it the day before. With all of these phones being delivered on the same day it is possible 1 or 2 might slip by.
I can hope.I ordered 6/15 6am EST. Called web order dept 6/15 around 1pm. The lady manually finished processing my order while I was on the phone, as they had to do them manually due to the enormous workload. This makes me assume that they did them in order, unless you called, like me, and inquired about the status.
Later that day, called porting dept, as I was switching from Alltel. Guy said everything looked good. I once had a porting issue in the past, so I called again. This lady told me that there are 2 separate systems that need to have approval before a number can be ported successfully. She told me I was fortunate to call and check on this, as only 1 system had accepted the port, which would have resulted in my order being kicked back.
I haven't received the shipping e-mail yet, but I'm not concerned. My order status says I ordered on 6/15, shipped 6/19, never back-ordered, and a FedEx tracking number since 4-6am today. I presume I will find an email in the morning.
I have not, however, had any funds taken out of my account. I used a Debit card, but it bears a MasterCard logo, so I presume it is fine. I called my bank several days ago, and they told me that AT&T had sent an authorization, and all was well. I think there may just be a delay on my bank showing the removal of funds. I don't think my order would have been flagged as "shipped" with a number unless everything was all set.

I got this too, as well as a separate one that says my order (correct iPhone 4 order number in subject line) has shipped. It then goes on to tell me how to transfer contacts by removing the SIM from my current phone and inserting it in the new phone. Facepalm.
yeah who knows, I'm hoping were not in the same boat as people that began their order on the 17th. haha havent gotten that email yet
Yikes, this thread has been painfully addictive. So I just wanted to say that I have the same thing as BeerLover - I decided to check my status while reading here and within the last 20 minutes, status has changed from "backordered" to "ordered".

congrats! Let's Drink
Last refresh before I called it a night for good....backorder dropped out. Still in progress....but first change I've seen in a week. Interesting. Ordered 9AM EST on the 15th.
ok i posted this earlier but im going to post again just 2 make some people sleep better
just got off the phone with att cs (a surprisingly knowledgeable person) and she said even tho it said ordered on the 16th online that they actually received it on the 15th and they have already pair my iphone 4 with my account and shipping but they dont have a tracking number and she said it could be wednesday before i get my tracking number but said that i will get it on the 24th as will everybody else that ordered before 4:30pm on the 15th...so i guess it doesn't matter about the whole date being the 16th screw up thing

the emails make no sense.
I'm shipped (17th) w confirmation numbers.
No FedEx tracking yet.
The emails are confusing.
Can I keep my 3G at 3.1.3? Looks like the update to iOS4 can be troublesome. I would prefer to just keep it at the current 3.1.3.
Any answers are GREATLY appreciated. My phone will probably be here on the 24th.
