Its not stuck. It'll be on late night flight like a lot of the phones.
My phone originated at DFW Airport according to tracking and I don't expect it to leave until 5 or 6am because its taking a quick flight to West Texas. I've had UPS overnight packages leave DFW at 6:05am and the package was in my hand 4 hours later.
Just checked my tracking again. It took off at 9:25pm for an around the country flight(going to Louisville and then to its destination in West Texas). Whats the point of staging in DFW if they are going through another hub before getting put on different planes?

But mine doesn't even have an origin scan or anything. The latest status update was pickup at 6 this morning.
Oh, so you are one of those people tying up all the staff, and delaying my phone.
I wouldn't worry about it. Unless they have plane troubles your phone will get to you tomorrow.
Well, this is what I have so far.....
For some reason I have 2 separate items, where one says processing and the other says shipped. Kind of odd....No tracking number at all. I did get the confirmation email saying I'd get it on the 21st. Ordered at 12:01AM Pacific Time on the 14th. Guess I'll have to see if I even get it tomorrow

Ahhh, finally out of backorder hell. Canceled the whole f'n thing. What a relief! Screw AT&T. Brainless morons.
lucky they let you..i wasn't allowed
Remain hopeful, iPhone5 fans. You just never know what tomorrow might bring. Wishing everyone the best possible outcome. It's lights out for me now; dream, dream, dream!
Looks like there is a FEDEX flight from Fort Worth TX to LAX tomorrow at 3:30am local time. So your iPhone still has a chance.

you have to think about it. if your phone is at DFW it's a 3-4hr flight to LAX, 1hr flight to houston, san antoinio, 1-2 flight to New Orleans. Look at it this way; our phones are with FedEx and out of the hands of AT&T (the people that screwed the pooch for tons of there customers who pre-ordered)
There are still some flights out of Dallas to Memphis for the night, which would be the FedEx regional hub for Atlanta, but no flights from Memphis to Atlanta, and if it didn't get to Memphis until 2 this morning, I don't think it would make the drive.
Why cann't people just say Eastern Time, and skip all this daylight and standard time - since most people don't know which we are on anyways.
Dumb statements
Lame
So, I ordered on 9/14 at 7:13am central. Email said it will arrive on 9/21. Backordered. No email to say it's been delayed.
Hoping I'll be one of the people who didn't get any updated status' and still get their phone. That would be more exciting than seeing tracking numbers tonight I think.
Trying.....to.....stay......optimistic

Sly dog...you knew you weren't gonna get your phone, you just set your wife up for make-up sex.
Just checked my tracking....I don't like this....
My phone left Dallas Ft. Worth at 9:12p. The phone needs to get to Philly to the sorting station, then to Lawnside NJ and the truck leaves at 6:00am to start deliveries. I don't think this is going to end well for me.
Wow....listen to me acting like a spoiled brat.

What was your order status online? This is hopeful for me if it was backordered/still is??
Mine left Ft. Worth to Philly at 9:12 ... and that updated in the last 10 minutes. There is still hope for you!
Keep in mind, they fly cargo on commercial aircraft as well. The FEDX planes are dedicated and move the bulk of the system. But they often fly overnight stuff on regular passenger planes.
