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.
