Wow, just talked to a CSR at AT&T Premier. I ordered the phone on the 15th at 9:20am CST. I told her I should have some info by now but I am still showing up as backordered. She then put me on hold to find out what was going on and came back to tell me that it will ship out "soon" and I should have it no later than the 25th. I know its only a day but seriously, WTF!?! Lots of people ordered way after me and are getting their's tomorrow possibly. I hope she's wrong and I get a surprise email saying I'll have it on time. This is the last time I order from these losers...

There are countless possible reasons for delaying your order. And since everything is shipped overnight it is VERY possible your device ships tomorrow and is delivered Thursday.
 
Haha... well that is definitely a positive message. I am going to believe them until they betray that trust. If that phone doesn't come by Thurs tho....

@ girlneedsagun: Joint tantrum in progress, openly weeping, gnashing teeth, tearing garments, rolling in ashes, and still waiting for a hug :D

@ nick: Seriously nick, I am sure every little things gonna be alright. This is just apparently sport for me, love love love, the thrill of the hunt! p.s. definitely not gay, actually celebrating 20 year anniversary with my wifey tomorrow!

Good luck to you both, I'll update soon hopefully!!!
 
My tracking numbers just showed up. It is still "In Progress" and there is null for carrier but theyre obviously FedEx numbers.

Order: 5/15 4pm EST via Premiere store
Changed from backordered 1 to 0 @ 12am EST 5/22
Tracking # showed up in order status @ 230pm EST 5/22

Hope that helps some people get some relief
 
I have had stuff shipped to my place for the 15 years I have lived here from both Fed Ex and UPS and you really can never tell when. I have had stuff delivered very early, afternoon and very late.


hmph damn..hopefully they can leave it bc ill be @ work :(

P.S. It already shows as picked up and has delivery by 5/23 @ 3pm

So it probably was shipped awhile ago and Att can't keep up with refreshing the order status page

So dont fret if you ordered on 5/15 it looks like your fine

not really, because you ordered about 10 hours after me, and I am still on backorder.
 
So....those of you with tracking numbers and "out for delivery"......you're more then likely going to get the phone today! Check out the www.macrumors.com front page. Once lucky user has already gotten his iPhone4 and sucessfully activated it.....

No......I'm not bitter in the slightest with the fact that I don't even have a fricken' tracking number.......and my online order status states "Backordered".

#$%R&T(%*)(UI^*&VEW$E2)!!!

Holy Crap!!

I ALMOST PEED MYSELF WHEN I HEARD THE DOORBELL RING AND I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW TO SEE THE FEDEX TRUCK STOPPED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE!

I never though I would be so freaking excited to get a new phone!

Sorry to those still waiting - it's coming though, just be patient!

It is way smaller then I even though it was going to be, and it feels awesome in my hand. Signal strength is way better than my 3GS too!

I know. I was praying that sleep would change it, but apparently not :(

Same here. Waking up this morning to see the same page as, well, the last several days is certainly crushing. So much for first come first serve.

Gah, this frustrates me to no end. Had I known AT&T would have dropped the ball so hard that it apparently fell through the Earth to China (maybe to keep my forgotten iPhone company), I would have merely waited a few hours and gone to the Apple Store for a preorder/reservation instead.
 
finally

I ordered through premier around 2:50pm est and I was finally taken off back-orderlast night around 10pm. And i recently just received tracking numbers after not having them this morning, the carrier says null but when i enter the tracking numbers through fedex, it gives me the info that it is in texas and out for delivery tomorrow. I can finally stop worrying, im assuming that all of us will get to this point soon enough!

PWNED!
 
Mine said it shipped on the 17th, got the tracking numbers 2 days ago, but barely got the shipped e-mail this morning. The weird thing is I received 2 different shipped e-mails one specifically about the iphone 4 and one about my new phone about 2 hours apart each.
 
My status was finally updated with tracking information..

Yay.. Says picked up fort worth, delivery time tomorrow before 3pm just like everyone else. I'm sure it'll be on hold until the 24th but I'm taking tomorrow off just in case.
 
So I just got off the phone with FedEx. Apparently, Apple shipped theres early, and people are getting them as we speak. AT&T on the other hand, told FedEx to hold them til tomorrow for movement, and she said I would receive it anywhere between tomorrow and Friday. WTF!?!?!?

I don't live near an Apple Store so I am stuck with At&t either way :(. I think a part of me dies each time someone else gets off backorder and gets a tracking number :'(
 
Premier order at 11:01AM EST and still backorder.

Premier Order ID 101228685xxxxxxxx

ATT Order Number: 5981-21565xxxxx

Hang in there.. that's about half hour to 45 minutes after mine, and I just literally got tracking within the last 5 minutes..
