Here is my a latest update for AT&T customers, some real progress now, let the fun begin!
Ordered: Apple iPhone 4S 16GB (White) via attwireless.com not AT&T Premier, 10/7/2011 at 2am Thursday
Ship Date: 10/10/2011
Order Status: SHIPPED (Qty Ordered: 1/Qty Shipped: 1) for all listed items
Carrier: FEDEX and provided with a tracking number that is not trackable yet
By the way, I did not receive any 4th email that has told me that it has been shipped, I just checked my order status for fun this morning at about 4am when I woke up and voila!
