ahhhhh, The window of receiving my phone soon appears to be closing slowly. Still in backorder. Who knows though. As we've seen anything can happen. Shoulda just stayed up for early pre order. Here's to hoping.
 
WOOT I JUST GOT MY TRACKING #!!!

I ordered Friday night too so you guys who ordered earlier than me should be getting it soon too...

I ordered on 9/14 at 8:35am pacific time. Still backordered. I really think it doesn't matter when you buy it. The people who are grouping the shipments don't know what the hell they're doing it, and just doing it randomly.
 
I have a commuter for my iPhone 4 and i love it. So i stuck with that for my 5. To protect the front I use a zagg shield. I've had it for 2 years and still looks spanking new.

Otterbox is already shipping cases for the 5? I thought we wouldn't see anything until October at the earliest.
 
I think there's a form on FedEx's website you can print out. Basically what you do is sign it then leave it for the FedEx guy and he'll leave the package even if your not home. It helps a lot if your busy.

No just use the "Hold at FedEx Location" option on their tracking page.

They will leave it at your nearest FedEx Office (formerly Kinkos) or at their nearest shipping center. I prefer FedEx Office locations because they are EVERYWHERE and they are open 24 hours a day.

They will call or text when it arrives and its much more secure than having it sitting on your doorstep. After all I think there a lot of shady people who will be looking for little packages left on doorsteps on Friday. Easy pickins!
 
I think they are just pulling orders randomly out of a hat.

My order from the 15th was also updated to shipped status before my two from the 14th!

Makes you wonder who is running the show...

Sometimes people will cancel there order and will randomly replace another one. Who knows...
 
I'm going to bed and hoping that when i wake up tomorrow and click on my tracking number it will say its somewhere in the U.S. If not my morning is going to suckkkk

Just be thankful you have a tracking no, like me even my order said shipped since this morning, I still don't have tracking no nor carriers.
:cool:
 
Simply Orange...the orange juice brand people, just had a commercial taking a shot at the new iPhone..

"Simply Orange, not the orange4, or the orange5, no new design, not upgraded, still perfect"

im not sure if thats genius, or stupid yet.
 
Well, I'm takin a trip to baskin robbins. Hope to see some sort of progress when I'm done eating away my impatience.:eek:
 
Holy crap I'm losing my mind. I saw a shipping number, and that my order was off of backorder then literally 5mins later I checked it again and it was gone! Back to backorder! :confused: I think AT&T is just screwing with us now. Luckily I had the tracking # on my clipboard, so I still had it. So I'm not truly crazy.
