I had the same message on the email confirmation page, that the status was pending confirmation. Then I logged into AT&T today and, what do you know? The iPhone has been shipped and it will be here on Friday. I even got the tracking number. So don't rely on the page you're taken to from the email confirmation. Log in, check the status of a wireless order, and you might be pleaseantly surprised. I didn't order the phone until about noon on the 12th and I'll get it on Friday.
