that number doesn't work for me. It tries to transfer me to a representative then tells me they're experiencing technical difficulties and hangs up on me.

Hmm that's weird,mine went straight to the automated voice to get my order info then gave me the option of talking to a rep. Wonder what's going on...
 
The same thing that's happening with people's orders now also happened last year. Everyone who ordered early got their phones on time. Don't worry, you'll be fine.
 
updates

my order finally went from 1's in the backordered column to 0's this evening. I am ATT Premier and ordered through ATT at 2 am PST on 10/7 and received the confirmation email immediately after ordering. Was wondering why others seemed to be making it to "Processing" before me as I must have been one of the early orders through ATT.
 
shipped

shipped on 9th? Tracking number still doesn't work.

White 16GB now shipped as well

With a ship date of 10/11 rather than 10/10 and a different fedex tracking number, my white 16gb has now been added with a tracking number.

Note that *none* of these actually have a 1 in the shipped column. Pretty sure the labels have been generated but the boxes won't be picked up until later today at the earliest.

Still, progress *is* being made!

Ordered at 4pm PST October 7th in the store. Both of the phones (black 16 and white 64) are still on backorder. Calling the phone number given says the phones are on backorder as well.

Based on what I've read, there really isn't any rhyme or reason to AT&T's method (or lack thereof) of shipping out iPhones. I'm sure it depends on many factors, such as time ordered, phone model, and location (not to mention AT&T's uncanny ability to screw things up).

EDIT: Also purchased a 16gb black from Apple and of course it's on its way.

When did your white iPhone 4s getting a tracking number?
 
BTW, the order status on the Premier site still has both the 16gb black and 16gb white phones with the pre-order checkbox checked but nothing in the shipped checkbox.
 
What the ****. I ordered @ 1:22 AM PST time and mine still says pending.

I wouldn't worry too much -- did two separate orders for my wife and I around that time. Her order has a tracking number, mine doesn't and I ordered them both within 10 minutes of each other.
 
My 16GB Black 4S has changed to "Status: Shipped" on 10/09/11 and has a FedEx tracking number but the number does not work on FedEx's website.
I ordered at 1:33am PST thru the AT&T Upgrader app.

My sister's White 16GB 4S which was ordered roughly the same time shows its still "Pending shipment".

Did this just happen? Hopefully mines next.
 
YAHOO! My phone is in route. FINALLY! It's not showing on the order status through Apple. Found it on ups.com with the reference number. Ordered on Apple.com Saturday Afternoon.

BTW...The reason for the Saturday purchase was because the servers were overloaded overnight Thurs/Fri am and they gave me reference number to complete my order by 5pm On Saturday.
 
White iphone not shipping

Seems the white iphone are not shipping.

I hope this means that they are still available as I know many people ordered a white one and if they are not available then AT&T should send us a black one but I can see it that the white one isn't available and we have to wait 1-2 weeks to get our phone!

Someone earlier posted that they got a tracking number for a White 16GB 4S...

Did this just happen? Hopefully mines next.

Happened in the last 3 hours sometimes as I didn't check between that period so not sure exactly when.
 
Ordered AT&T site at 5:15 am EST black 16gb on 10/7

Status on AT&T site now shipped on 10/9 with fedex tracking numbers. Fedex data not on the fedex site yet but bet it will be by Thursday

Good luck all
