I'm in the same boat... the premier Customer care rep said that the order day is 9/14. I still have 9/17 date on the att order status site..but 9/14 date on the confirmation email and order status page accessed by link in the email.

att order site is showing white 16gb on backorder.

Well my friend... You and I are definitely both in the same situation here... I honestly think premiere has it right because that is a whole different ordering system. The AT&T system shows you the day the order was paid for and then the order status... I think we will be ok. Let me know if yours changes so I can have some additional hope... I'll keep checking mine as well. I have a black and a white on separate orders and both are showing backordered right now.
 
I am not trying to be rude. But i get that everyone is no longer on backorder, or about to not be on backorder. But does everyone have to post that they aren't on backorder? At this point i think the only thing most ppl want to know if anyone's order has shipped. I dunno. Just a thought. And like i said not trying to be rude.

You're in a pre-order thread for an iPhone.
 
Hooray?

I got the 4s and got a one year iPhone 5 upgrade full subsidy. Bitter much?

Why would I be bitter? I didn't want the iphone 4s or I would have bought it. :rolleyes: As a result, I got a full subsity anyway and didn't shell out cash for a 4s I didn't want.

I just received this e-mail as well. I ordered a white 16 7:00~ am CST on Fri 9/14
 
Ordered at 8:20am CDT on Friday, still on back order=1, I just called and the rep said I'd be in the second shipment. That stinks, but oh well, I'm not getting up at some God awful hour to get a phone.
 
What do you mean by "Cut". Every iphone since the 1st one has came with a SIM already in the phone.

dude. the size of the sim card. you don't read posts. do i have to explain that i was joking when i said the sim card was needed to be cut in a nano template size and be shipped separately via USPS priority mail? you don't understand any sort of "joke"?
 
Just got my email from AT&T that said the same thing the first one said :rolleyes: :p


"We wanted to confirm that your order is reserved and should arrive as soon as September 21, 2012."


So no new information but at least I'm positive and hoping it will be here on Friday as I leave for vacation on Sunday.

Ordered 7:40am EST on 9/14

Was the Subject Line changed from "Your recent ATT order status" to "Final Order Confirmation?" If so, then I would say it's way better news.

So the rumored cutoff (12 noon EDT) is incorrect? Hmmm.

I received the same email. I am still on backorder, but I believe that they may find a phone for you soon from the stock of people who cancelled.
 
I see that a lot of you guys pre-ordered from att premier instead of main att.com why is that?

We had no choice. If you have a discount through your employer or school you are automatically directed to premiere ordering when you go to order something on att.com.

I'm still concerned about that "as soon as" language. The main order status site still says I'm backordered. Black 64GB.
 
i think there's nothing wrong posting if you're off backordered? so then people who are still backordered should have an idea where they stand based from the time they ordered.

I dunno. I guess it doesn't matter cause i am going to bed at this point. But the point is it is redundant. Everyone is going to a non back order status tonight. The idea is to see who is going from in progress to shipping tonight or tomorrow morning etc. Anyways, if for some reason i get a shipping email or something i will come let you guys know.
 
Yeah, I just ranted at the Premier reps telling them why should my order be pushed back when I ordered it "on time" per their cutoff.

Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore. If the statement from an AT&T Warehouse insider is true, that if you're status is "0" backorder, then we should get our phones on Friday. I've already scheduled a day off that day! LOL
These iPhone launch weeks have to be absolute hell for the AT&T CSRs - nothing but impatient Apple fans blasting them constantly ...
 
Sad thing is I did get up at a god awful hour to get this phone. I couldn't get through on the phone in time so I had to go into school and order at 4:30 so I can't get it for 2 weeks now. I really hope I get it Friday.
