My order on AT&T status page went from 10/2-10/13 to shipped sometime in the last 5 hours.
I now have a FedEx tracking number for Friday delivery. 64GB Plus, Silver.
A big part of me was, yes, their data entry is slow, they are dealing which crazy amounts of phones, I very well could get mine on Friday. The other part of me was "well, maybe you won't. But don't flip out on slow computers"
Anyway, folks, don't stress. I had less than stellar projections and now here mine comes.
[edit: Moreover, the tracking says it was generated at 11:30am on Monday. If nothing else, a hint at just how backed up things are for them]
I ordered the same phone. Same stats, hope mine goes to shipped soon.
