So I my order got changed to shipped with a tracking number this morning......but then an hour later tracking number disappeared and my status is backorder haha. ATT you are such a tease 
I am still at back order and I am so upset I just might do something crazy. Jk, its going to be cold in here in MN tomorrow so maybe I'll bring all the people waiting outside tomorrow some hot chocolate in exchange for 30 seconds of playing with their phone

Only 211 pages. They're all tracking their shipments. AT&T blows. I chuckled when I told my wife I was a Premiere member and I wouldnt have to put up with all this mess. Looks like I'll have to go work for Verizon.
Tracking with Reference Numbers
I ordered my 16GB white at 3:55am CST on 9/14. I received first e-mail right away and then order being processed sent to warehouse at 10:09am. My order has said pending shipment since that time with no updates. I was wondering if the people with actual tracking numbers have seen any common reference numbers? My order number started with 1711, but I am not sure if that really matters.

The special thing about being an ATTer who ordered from ATT is that, for us, when the delivery guy comes around where going to feel just like kids on Oct 5... or 14 to 21 days from now. For everyone else it'll be just another expected delivery. Yawn.
My UPS tracking has a big goose egg by "Reference." So at least some shipments can't use tracking by reference.
Hey guys just remember if they don't get your order tomorrow because of misleading information att provided. Just give them a call so they can credit your upgrade fee. Some people I know have done this successfully, just argue smartly saying it was their fault and they should be liable. I better get my phone tomorrow since I sold mine. I'm going to be with out a phone for 2 week.

I sold mine too. Time is money! AT&T needs to step it up.
Like clockwork, got two emails one is UPS and one is FedEx for both iPhone 5's. I'm the minority, but I like att. And yes, I do get dropped calls. I've had two other carriers that did also. Hope you all get your phones tomorrow!
I surely feel your pain! But maybe a silver lining is if ScuffGate turns out to be a real problem for those who got Black. Well at least I put iOS6 on my IP4 so I can play around.
You know people wouldn't be so mad if everyone was not lied to by AT&T. Don't say it's being delivered on release day just to take your money and then say you have to wait until mid October. Meanwhile you lost your chance to try and get one in person.
Same happened to me. I knew I wasn't getting it tomorrow but I also didn't order on Sunday. If its really FIFO, then I'm going to get pushed back even further. I thought of calling but figured whats the point. They really cant do anything about it. BS!
THANKS so MUCH for answering! And it does suck! dumbasses better get my phone here tomorrow, and good luck with the interview tomorrow! Hope you get the job
Why does my order show ordered n the 15th when I odered it on the 14th? Is someones like this as well?
Mine was like that, but it has shipped. Ordered 7:28am EST on 9/14, website showed 9/15, order through Premier.
This is my fear and you know this is bound to happen. Come back to this forum tomorrow or the next day. There will be all kinds of screaming about my phone is scratched up, my white phone is discolored, my screen is leaking light... ect. This happens because apple rushes all these phones out. Remember when the 4s came out, people were having problems because the glue wasen't even dried yet. In reality us early adopters are the guinea pigs.
