I just ordered my second one (for my brother) from Apple and it says it'll be here on october 14, weird AT&T takes longer
Why is it weird? I didn't realize it was the AT&T 4S.

I just chatted online with premier support, and they said that since I ordered it this morning (6:30am central) it will arrive on the 14th. I also show 7-21 day shipping on my order status, but the rep said this doesn't matter.
Oh!... I didn't realize that the AT&T site was your only option to pre-order from!

Always order from apple before carriers!
And that is correct. The same issue happend when the 4 released. They populate the date in there as a default. Apple does all the fulfillment and when they begin to process, which should soon, the date will move. I ordered from Apple, because if anyone would screw it up it would be AT&T, but I did order the iPad from them and it had the same dating issue.
Just relax, that is all I can say.

...and this is why I always order from Apple, and never AT&T.
You realize this thread is talking about AT&T Premier (FAN) and we could not order through Apple because the upgrade verification system was not working for FAN account.
Any way, I order from AT&T Premier around 5am, email said ships on the 14th and the rep I talked to this afternoon said it would arrive on the 14th as well
Maybe it's just a generic computer generated message if it's a pre order phone (14-21 days) ?

Although, you have to wonder, how much does the generic info cost ATT in customer service calls?

I tried for 2 hours straight on the Apple site.
On each of the 3 times it actually worked, the site told my to "finish my order by visiting my local Apple Store."
I'm on an island in the middle of the Pacific.
The nearest Apple Store is Honolulu (by jet or boat...)
I wasn't going to spend $300 or so to buy a plane ticket to visit my local store to finish my order.
After giving up on Apple's website, I ordered via the Apple Store iPhone App. It gave me a reservation number and told me I'd get an email as to when I could complete my order.
2 hours later, Apple emails me, and says, "We can't process your order right now. Bring your reservation number to your local Apple Store to complete your order..."
So...
I go to AT&T's website and in 5 minutes my order is in.
They might ship a week (or 6) later than Apple, but at least they didn't ask me to buy plane tickets and fly anywhere...
I have a FAN account and had no trouble ordering thru Apple after 6AM EST. My order still says delivery by 10/14.
You live in a tropical island paradise. You are not allowed to complain.
LOL
Okay, you're right. I guess it was an example of a "First World Problem".
Anyway, we have a nice easy pace on the islands here, a week or so won't matter in the grand scheme of things.
