So iPhone 5, I know I just ordered you, and now you are backordered, and this is crazy, but delivered tomorrow...maybe?
 
FOR ALL OF YOUR PEOPLE STILL WAITING TO GET OUT OF BACKORDER:

One of my phones (white 16gb) just went from backorder 1 to 0 then shipped with a tracking number in LITERALLY about 3 minutes. There's still hope! Now if the other one would do the same thing....(my line).....

What website are you checking on?
 
I've given up on getting mine. From what the geniuses at ATT.com support can tell me, I somehow was backordered and they're not sure why even though I managed to make the cut-off time by six hours. Even though I work at an AT&T store, I think I'll go switch to T-mobile.
 
3 weeks to get????

So I ordered mine at 8am eastern on the 14th through apple.com and it says it won't be delivered until Oct. 5th. Could this be correct??? When did pre-order open? I thought it was 8am eastern. I was up at 5am for work and didn't even check.
 
Based off what? ATT's archaic order system?

I've danced this dance before and I got my phone on launch day.

The only reason I will not get my phone tomorrow is because I'll miss the FedEx guy.

I want to believe you, actually I hope you are right and we can get our toys tomorrow!
:D

It was 3 am est for apple.com and they sold out if the first batch within an hour sorry
 
I see that a couple of people with 1406 orders are getting their phones but I definitely find it a little strange that a fair number of us with 1406 are still on backorder. I don't know what to make of it.
