it happens when you least expect it. yesterday i called at&t and the lady told me it likely wouldn't ship until today, and that i would get it between the 24th-28th. kinda bummed me out - refreshed the order status page literally right after i got off the phone with her, and there was my tracking info, saying i'd get it by 3pm today. LOL. its only 1pm too, everyone still had time today!! fingers crossed for ya.
Thanks! Good luck to you to! Definitely glad I didn't try to walk into an ATT store and grab one this year. Last year only took me about 10 minutes in the walk-in line to snag my 3GS
