I'm having it shipped to my house and I have various SIM listed as well. I'm doing an upgrade swap.
Got a tip for us?

Alright here's an update.
I called paypal, and they said when a merchant authorized an amount, Paypal puts a hold on the amount for 5 days, but the merchant can still charge your account up to 180 days later.
So it still looks like im good to go for an iphone 4 on the 24th.
My order status moves from qty backordered 1 to qty backordered 0 on all three items.

Everything just switched over for me...
mines been like that since the day of the pre-order. its like watching paint dry since then.
Well I just contacted AT&T and found out that my iphone 4 pre-order was processed at 12:46am on the 15th...I know, weird right? Also, I'm pissed about this, as I was talking to the guy he said my confirmation e-mail was sent to a yahoo account which turns out to be the personal e-mail of the AT&T rep who processed my pre-order at the store! I'm about to call her cell phone and bitch her out as to why she used her personal e-mail for this kind of stuff.
Also, with all these orders getting processed and not backordered anymore, one is to think that maybe AT&T is actually getting iPhone hardware from apple and processing the orders...We'll see

I'd rather be in your shoes than mine with my backordered everything (despite having ordered earlier in the day than someone above)
There is still a hold on my account for the price though, so at least my order hasn't been canceled.
I've been paranoid about this "various SIM" issue as well, so I went into my local AT&T store about 45 minutes ago and asked what the deal was.
I'm having it shipped to my house but don't see the "various SIM" thing. He said all the iPhones they get have the SIM pre-installed, whether it goes to the store or to your home, so it should be in there no matter what. But if, and hopefully this isn't an issue, it doesn't, it's easy to just walk into the store and get one (even though I'd really like to NOT have to walk in there on launch day, assuming I get mine on the 24th...)
I preordered thru AT&T on 6/15/10 and I have Bank of America checking:
on 6/15 - Preordered smoothly at 7:15 AM PST, got an email confirmation 5 minutes later and order status thru Premier site shows received and processing. Order status not available on regular AT&T site. Preauthorization shows up but just $1 charge and another $0 charge
on 6/16 - Preauthorization gone and nothing else. Order status the same on Premier site but status not available on regular AT&T site.
on 6/17 - Pending charge for the iPhone shows up! Order status remains the same on Premier site and order status on regular AT&T site now available and showing in progress but also showing backordered. I also got to check the status thru automated phone and it says "your order has been processed and will ship shortly"
on 6/18 - Still showing pending charge. Order status for all type remains the same.
on 6/19 - Still showing pending charge for 3 days now. Order status for all type remains the same.
on 6/20 - Still showing pending charge for 4 days now. Order status for all type remains the same per my previous post above. But today I found one of the post here another phone number you can call to check the status of preorder at 877-782-8870 and here's what they say "The items you ordered are in backorder and the item will ship as soon as it is available"
, this is a completely different status from the premier phone order status where it says, "Your item has been processed and it will be ship shortly". And so that's that, here's hoping that my iPhone will still ship on the 24th

Hopefully mine comes on launch day as advertised...
If not, it's going to be trouble - I am having it shipped to where I am going to be out-of-town on Thursday and Friday. If it doesn't come one of those days...

Calling the premiere number, I get the automated "Your order has been processed and will ship shortly" message. Apparently Premiere orders and regular orders are processed separately, so I guess I have no choice but to trust that the premiere system will get me my phone on launch day.
So how's this working? Apple sends ATT a ******** of iPhone 4 units the same time the rest of the orders are going out? Or did ATT get a ******** of units before hand? And does ATT automagically activate your phone for you or what?
Backordered is not a bad thing, it just means your phone have not arrived to the warehouse so they can finalize your order. if you placed the order before the cut off time your ok. i don't know why people are stressing over the backordered thing if its been explained so many times.Mine was ordered early on the 15th, confirmation email within a minute. Still showing backordered...

I'm in the same boat as you. I really hope that i get my phone on the 24th, because I'm gonna be out of the country a few days later, and I don't want to leave without it.
Yeah, I ordered through retail and got "You're order has been received and is being processed"
i called the att order status number (listed above) and heard:
"your order has been recieved and is being processed"
however i ordered on the 15th and have never been backordered
the order of my items changed to freight first etc
blah, can't wait to get a shipping email.

Lost my macrumors account after 3+ years of joyous reading...
but I digress... I have been quietly freaking out because the ATT site has been pretty spotty in the last few days and I purchased my iP4 at 2:45am on June 15. Never recv'd any emails verifying my purchase but the order tracking page always showed up as 1 ordered, zero back ordered and zero shipped.
come to find out, I never updated my email address from my career change
Still no signs of shipment though

I keep hearing lots of stuff about debit cards... When I went into my local AT&T store to order mine they said nobody was allowed to use debit cards because of the whole pending process thing... I guess it was just the manage of my store trying to avoid any problems!
Nothing was ever mentioned to me in store about NOT using a Debit card. In fact she specifically told me to make sure I had the money in my account upon ship date so there wouldn't be a problem. So, she knew it was a debit card. Heck she ran it manually through a carbon copier. Perhaps it's in the fine print if you order online. If this is the case I will be upset. Not because I don't recieve my phone on the 24th but because this should be known one way or another company wide.
