Sorry to burst your bubble, but if the hold falls off before the actual transaction posts, that's more likely an indicator it did NOT ship yet as they don't sent the actual charge until it ships.
Don't worry, you're not bursting any bubbles for me, as I never said it has shipped yet, I said I'm finally seeing progress on my order. The dropped hold is the first indicator I'm moving in the right direction... There are people on this site ready to CANCEL their orders - some who have! -because of the LACK OF PROGRESS on their accounts, so your negative comments are only doing them a disservice. Everyone here is hoping for the same outcome, which is that WE ALL get our phones on time. What I see is activity on my account in the middle of the NIGHT, so that gives me HOPE that att is doing everything they can to get us our preorders on time. In my book, that's worth something.

my hold fell off earlier today, and at&t still said pending. then tonight it said shipped with a tracking #, and it had been shipped on 9/13. the transaction still hasnt posted permanently to my CC account. So I wouldn't give up hope just yet.
^that's what I'm talking about!!^
