Getting the same notice.. maybe their system is down or messing up. Everyone relax i'm sure they did not lose all of our orders.. at least not if they are a real company at this point and not people standing around shrugging their shoulders. 😕
Got a tip for us?

If so,blessing in disguise if you're near an Apple store or Best Buy Mobile.And be sure to demand AT&T compensate you.

Even better thoughts for you- if the glass only has half liquid, it's still full. It's half liquid, and half air. Full cup either way. 😀
Haha i either just became a genius or completely failed.

Thank you very much. 😀

It means your phone has been set aside to sell to someone who walks into an AT&T store on black Friday and feels like buying a phone. Our "preordered" phones will now ship in early December.
🙄
LOL, I can't help but make jokes about this. Otherwise I would get mad. I really wanted my phone for some business trips I have scheduled in early November. Now it looks like I'll be using my el-cheapo temporary phone with no data plan...
I expect this problem getting order status is just AT&T doing routine system work. It will probably be back online showing us "Backordered" in a few hours.
^this, it's probably just a temporary system hiccup, nothing more... unless they got 5,000,000,000 iPhone shipment today... and are updating everyone's at once... lol

Maybe they are adding all the phones that were canceled to our orders or sending them to stores OR those 22 new countries next week.🙁
As I said earlier,they have until the 31st with me.Then I cancel and buy from b&m locally.

Glitch passed. Can access order status again.
I thought something would be changed by now.
What was I thinking 😡

Yep, glitch passed, still backordered. Ordered on the 11th of October. Boo.
Well I ordered on the 16th lulz, I'm just hoping I see it before the middle of next month.
But I know good things come to those who wait....😀
Dude you're ignorant as hell man. I'm Asian I pre-ordered a white 16gb on the 8th of october. im still patiently waiting on my phone. I've been following this thread since the 14th to figure out where i stand in line for my phone. I never even had the intention to post in here till i saw you ignorantly talking about wanting to beat up some asian guy that has fashion statement issues just because he wants to hang his iphone 4s around his neck.
You and whoever the other guy wants to single out an asian person because they have their phone and you don't. just shows signs of jealousy.
stop acting like a little baby and grow up and just wait for it like every other person here.
the bigger they are the harder they fall. your ass would of been handed to you if you were dealing with somebody like me
----------
you're ****ing retarded
why couldn't it of just been a kid? why does it have to be an asian kid?? do you have something against asians??
you and that other guy need to stop putting that tough guy act on and just shut up and quit being little bitches. and just wait for your damn phone.
If you are frustrated
If you are frustrated, consider taking action. I "pre ordered" on the 8th at an AT&T store. Big mistake. Should have just stood in line on launch day. Anyway, I have tried to cancel my order so that I could then just walk into a store and buy an iPhone 4S faster.
AT&T states I cannot cancel my order even though they have no idea when it will ship. AT&T even acknowledged that those who ordered the phone by calling their customer service number or on the internet web site can actually cancel their order (error i the computer program that takes preorders to not allow cancelations of those who ordered in person at a store). Note: It is unethical and ILLEGAL for a company to prevent a customer from canceling an order that has not yet shipped (and the order is taking longer than originally promised by the sales person). This in essence legally binds the customer to the company through an extended 2 year contract without having received the new product. This also prevents the customer from switching wireless carriers if the customer is dissatisfied with the original wireless carrier's service.
I have since complained to the manager at AT&T call center, Better Business Bureau, FCC, California State Attorney General's office, and the CEO of AT&T. Filing a complaint with the BBB, FCC, and California State Attorney General's office only takes 5-10 minutes TOTAL.
I urge you to consider taking action in addition to venting on this forum.

I appreciate the spirit, now if only people had the same passion for their government that they have for this phone. 😛
I cannot join in on the fun though. When I ordered, they told me straight up that it would be 21-28 days (ordered on the 12th though).
I've seen you on BB.com haven't I? 😉 Anyways, I ordered on 10/8 as soon as the store opened and I'm still on backorder. I was told between 14-21 days. I'm on day 15 now.
How long..
For those of you that have tracking numbers... How long did it take to go from "backordered" to "Processing" to "shipped"?
I pre-ordered on 10/7 about 5pm CST in store and on Friday the 21st about 9pm my status changed from "backordered" to "processing" .
I was hoping to have a tracking number by now, but it's still just "processing". I was just curious when I should expect a tracking number to show up.

im just guessing but probably monday...USPS or FEDEX doesnt ship out on weekends...they just work on whats already in house. Well at least thats the way DHL did it when i worked there.
My status changed at 11:00 pm cst Friday night and tracking numbers showed up Sat at 3:00 pm cst .... By 5:00 pm sat I had my email saying it had shipped.
