I'm in the same boat. And actually I just checked and my credit card has not been billed either. Wondering if I should do something at this point...
Got a tip for us?

I just think it's crazy that your order is being processed before mine. I ordered a 64GB black phone 4 hours before you (5am PST, 9/14) from Premier and I'm still showing as backordered. My order date shows as 9/15. I received the email last night saying I would receive the device "as soon as" the 21st. Next year, I will be converting my account to a standard consumer account so I can order through Apple.com. AT&T is just too unpredictable.
Exactly what happened to me for the 4 and I think the 4S, which I've mentioned numerous times here. My was still "backordered" and I got it on release day. The AT&T system has been messed up for a while now. This is nothing new.
I ordered black 32GB on 9/14 at 10:30AM EST through Premier. Finally got the second e-mail, only last night, around 11PM saying that my order was in progress and the delivery is "as soon as 9/21".
Today, checked status on here: https://www.wireless.att.com/order_status/order_status_results.jsp
Order status is "shipped" but no tracking number.
So to all the crazies (I include myself in this group) that are frantic wondering if you're gonna get your phone by the 21st.... we should make a poll to see how many people ordered by the cutoff (9/14 12PM EST or whatever it supposedly is) and received their phone on time. It would be interesting to see how many people did not receive their phone on time (9/21) through no fault of their own.

I have little doubt that my phone will arrive on Friday but I'm curious to see if anyone else is in the same situation
I ordered a 64gb black as soon as the ATT site went live. Received the first confirmation email at 2:37am cst and the second one at 12:56 pm. The first email explicitly states the phone will be delivered 9/21.
I had a pending charge on my CC but now it's gone. No sign of it. Order status shows "In Progress" and Qty Backordered: 1.
Although reading this thread a bit tells me some people who ordered 64gb also don't have any info.

since it shipped today im hoping that overnight means thursday like my iphone 4 lol i got my iphone 4 a day early
Depending on your CC company, pending charges disappear after a few days, but are actually still there. They just don't display. It should be reflected in your available credit still, that's how you can tell without calling them.
This sounds very similar to my situation. Read my post from a couple minutes ago - we will very likely receive our phones on Friday.
Hope for PR
This gives me hope! I ordered later that day, but a Rep who obviously did not know what he was talking about said that all phone to PR would take from 7 to 14 days, so there is still hope for my case

You're right... For some reason my CC company raised my credit limit yesterday and it threw me off. The remaining credit line definitely reflects the pending charges still, thanks
Thanks iSmoke.
I have officially lost hope of getting my phone this Friday (or anytime soon). Just got email from AT&T that I HOPED was to say congrats I'm getting it earlier, but instead just confirming it will ship in 14-21 days.
This threads been fun but I'm officially quitting now. Good luck everyone ✌
i am not worry as much as ytd,, i feel a bit better now
Good. I know how they sort it out too. Picture a long moving conveyor belt, with lots of boxes aka packages with each boxes bar code, either on its side, top, bottom are being scanned automatically as in goes on que. In the end of that line, are separators, this line goes to this region, other to this region of the USA, so on. Every time the machine scans, the system updates, when the truck leaves, our tracking goes LIVE. saw this on Discovery Channel's "How Are Things Made" show before. LOL
Thanks Glitched79, that helps reassure me. It's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme but I know we're all looking forward to our shiny new phones.
Sucks that so many of you are frustrated and/or disappointed. I hope your story ends with a favorable result! Good luck.

Do you happen to remember up to when they remained "backordered" by any chance?
My order was complete at 11:57 Pacific time and it still says "processing." I did it through the standard AT&T website by the way.
too bad. i just got lucky. maybe someone's CC had issues they lost their slots and i somehow got theirs.
Does anyone have a tracking number listed in their order status and it doesn't appear in FedEx's database yet? I am guessing after a certain time tonight they will update on FedEx's end.

People.....stop.
When are you guys going to realize - there is no reason to panic until tomorrow afternoon. Overnight shipping is simply that....OVERNIGHT. Your order can go to Backorder 0 tomorrow and you'll still get your phone on Friday. And even if you aren't one of the lucky ones to get your phone on Friday, why do you think calling AT&T every day is going to change that. It is what it is, they're not going to change your shipping just because you call them. Leave them alone and let them help people who really need their assistance, not someone who just wants to B***H and complain and be rude to them. It's not THEIR fault....it's YOURS.
Enough is enough.
