Same here. And i order the same phone as yours: 16GB White. Friday afternoon 4pm at the store
My tracking number finally works but it shows a status of... "Shipment information sent to FedEx" with a ETA of tomorrow.
Why would I make that up? Like, how could that possibly benefit me? Besides, I have no way to "prove" it to you. It's not like my confirmation email states the time I ordered, just the date. But I assure you both I ordered on Saturday night. In fact, when I ordered, the page even said my phone wouldn't ship for 14-21 days, so I'm happily surprised.
Ditto. My page looks the same as your screenshot.
FedEx tracking finally "initiated". Looks like AT&T is sending everything out overnight, so no early surprises today...But all is good. I am just thankful its gonna get here on time. Hopefully it gets here early tomorrow cause my wife is locked in the house until it shows up. 
Ordered 06:25 on the 7th and got an order confirmation right away showing delivery of the 14th.
Order update received the 12th showing delivery 'as early as' the 14th with an order date of the 8th.
Still no love on the order status page.
Called and was informed that the order won't ship until the 14th.
Why, oh why, did I trust ATT with my order...

I've actually been checking all three (third is the premier status) because I'm anal. Don't like what I see on one? CHECK NEXT ONE NAO!!!
I'm premier as well, and all three of my checks on those sites are different, some disheartening. NOW I just go by my received emails and the fed ex tracking numbers. Screw those AT&T "progress" sites. You'll stress yourself out %#+ing with those.
Fed ex tracking says pick up today for delivery Friday by 3:00. THATS what I'm going with. I'll sleep well tonight.
Same here. After hearing about the 4:30/5:30 pm ET cutoff, I decided to take a chance and call to place my order Saturday at 2:30 am. I accepted I was too late when the confirmation email stated mine would ship in 14-21 days.
I don't know how fulfillment works since 1) I used a debit card and 2) my shipping address is different than my billing address. Maybe the timing of accepting the T&C and receiving the confirmation order (both the same morning of the order) has something to do with it?
How relieved I am to find out mine is at DFW on its way to JAX.
um....
i ordered my phone with family account, so by default, it was getting shipped home. i called them up and had the address changed. yesterday, i got two emails. one was "AT&T Premier Order Update", and it said "Your order will be delivered to the following address: xxx", which was the correct address here in columbus.
then, i got the second email that gave me a fedex tracking number. it was not working all day, but that's usually normal. today, it's working, but it has "destination: northfield, OH", NOT columbus, OH as i had changed it too! (northfield is home address)
this actually happened to both orders i changed the addresses to!
WTF and what to do?

Wake up this morning, still backordered. Currently on hold with AT&T. ugh. are there many people still with backordered statuses that ordered on the 7th?
People who are still backordered... I just got off the phone with CSR and then after some verbal abuse I was able to speak to a manager... he said they have a another round of orders shipping today before 4:30PM. He said that if you are still showing backordered and ordered before the cutoff you will be receiving your phone tomorrow. He also confirmed that my shippping service provided would be FedEx Priority Overnight. There is hope for all of us stuck on backorder.
that is very helpful, but i'm still worried because on the two order statuses that aren't premier it says i ordered it on the 9th, when i really ordered on the 7th. do you think i'll still be in the group of tomorrow??

Woke up and my Fedex tracking number is live as of around 4:30 this morning. It doesn't say the location, but I know from talking to Fedex CSRs last night that the package is in Fort Worth... shipping overnight, expected tomorrow by 3 pm.
I'm still hoping that they release everything for delivery today (moving the whole process along) and that I get my package routed to me today, since I'm less than 20 miles from the warehouse.

Yup. Ordered 16g white from an actual store at 10:30am EST and it's still backordered.
