Hey Man- I agree with you 100%. This isn't rocket science, Hope you get it Fri. I see alot of frustration on these posts. You know whats going on. Give it a month or so and bitch about something and get credit. Good Luck
Why are people so hell bent on some website's order status page? It's Wednesday before a Friday release and people feel slighted and betrayed? If your order is screwed up come Saturday then by all means voice your opinion to the highest mountain you can get to. But until then people need to have a little patience. This is a logistical nightmare for all parties involved and no one has singled you out in an attempt to screw you.
I posted this earlier and am posting it again because I believe there is some validity to it.
I think the shipping information has a lot to do with where it is shipping from and how long in transit it takes to get there.
for example my wife had to mail some half priced carnival tickets (HLSR) to one of her customers and inadvertently she put a Houston address and the FedEx retail store she placed the shipment with was in Katy. The package had to be overnighted. The package left Houston on a plane to Dallas. Then from Dallas it caught a flight back to Houston. Then went out to delivery. After pulling up the address, the client actually lived just 10 minutes down the road from where she dropped the package off at.
The long and short of it..... it doesn't matter what we figure out, find out or hash out here... we are only going to get the phones when they are actually shipped and when they actually arrive. I have had a 3G since April of 2009. So I guess technically I have been waiting for over 3 yrs for Friday to come. i can wait a little longer. Just wished for once AT&T would give us some straight-forward, clear, concise, non-sugar coated answer. It's AT&T though.

Hey ... Question to everyone here. Preordered a 32GB Black from ATT's site and should be getting it friday but worried that I should have went with 64GB Black instead. Does anyone know ATT's exchange policies in this circumstance? Like how long we have to do it and how the fact that iPhones are going to be cleaned out for a while will impact this. Thanks

After this I will never have to order through ATT...only reason I had to this year was because I was adding a line in addition to an upgrade... did the upgrade on apple app @3:07 am ... and now i will have enough lines on my account where I can always just do upgrades at apple rather than this bull ****
I finally found my tracking number. I couldn't get it through going to https://www.wireless.att.com/order_status/. I went to the Premier business side and it showed my tracking number. Now my other phone says shipped but no tracking number in either location.
My alternate is an at and t auth retailer they sometimes take preorders like the one in my neighborhood
It's a sad day when your iPhone 5 case arrives before your phone
What did you go with? Black Otterbox Defender for me. Arrived this morning.
I'm no expert and I could be wrong but my guess is it'll take awhile to be able to exchange just because of the fact there's a limited supply. But I'm sorry I couldn't provide you with a more definite answer. I wish the best of luck to you
Can you take a screen shot? I was to see how the screen should update from "preorder processing" to shipped i guess?
Also, what phone? time ordered?
Anyone order from retail store get a any change on the order statue? I order 9/14 in the retail 10am set but still get back order right now
I'll bet orders didn't post till later call AT&T and ask them
Not slighted or betrayed at all. I am not sitting in a dark corner crying my heart out, trust me. I know that none of this is intentional (at least I hope not) but I would have thought that after years of selling the iPhone, AT&T would have gotten their ***** together when it comes to pre-orders. I recognize that this is a logistical nightmare (even though it really shouldn't be) but I think what we all want is complete transparency and not the run around, which most folks seem to be getting.
