What an awesome social/psychological experiment this launch and forum have become. One wonders if the problem is a lack of information or too much information. Really, if the only thing we all had to go by was an AT&T statement that said "if you preordered at all, you will receive your phone on the 23rd,24th, or 25th, we can not guarantee which day but we do guarantee you'll get your phone" and you had no other way to track it, whether most folks would just chill and eagerly await their fedex/ups guy on those specific days.
Instead we have folks stressing out over every minutiae of the order fulfillment process including how their order is relative to others. What, someone else's phone went from state A to state B, acccck, fu%#@@king AT&T, what's going on.
I don't know if AT&T will "pull it out" and get everyone their phones in a timely fashion, but if they do, we will look back at threads like this and say to ourselves, is having more information really better for us?
