This must be how it feels for an inmate to watch their cellmate get released before them. Happy for you, jealous, and resentful all the same time.
I can't wait to say goodbye to this thread either.
Whack AT&T is Whack
Yo. Sympathizing with all the delayed folks out here. Sadly, this pre-order fiasco won't be nearly as press-worthy as the new Maps app debacle.
Placed my order for 64GB-Blck at 5am EST 9/14 through AT&T Premier.
-AT&T went ahead and cancelled my order without notifying me, due to some social security number mixup.
--After repeated calls, many wasted minutes, replaced my order, got sent to the back of the queue as a 9/18 order. Estimated shipping date: 14-21 days. According to CSR: "Between Oct 8-17th"
---Am now in "Pending Shipment as an EXPT8899. 0 Backorder, 0 Shipped. What does that mean?
Also ran across this very interesting article about whether your phone has already been shipped (and you just don't know it yet).
Best of luck to ya's. Any info into my limbo would be appreciated.

it means you should be getting a shipping confirmation in the next 12 hours or so with tracking number
For real? That's tight.
Although getting a tracking number don't mean I'll get the phone anytime soon, right?
Usually means you'll have your phone the next day unless you get your tracking number late in the evening after they've completed shipping for the day. Then its two days.
Because that would too much sense. It wouldn't be coy enough.
Frankly, I'm shocked they don't give us our order numbers as riddles.
Looking at the past couple pages, it does seem like the 32 GB models are the slowest moving. Here's hoping they get a BIG shipment of 32s very soon!
Let's all board a boat. Call it the backorder boat. Sink it in the Atlantic, and then maybe AT&T will care!

So, just a question for the people that, though they ordered the 14th (as I did), they were pushed back... why is this so?
In my case, I had no problems whatsoever. There was nothing that could cause my order to get pushed back by 3 days.
When I called to talk a a CSR they basically didn't believe me that I had ordered the 14th because it showed them I did on the 17th... I have an email from the 14th.
So why the eff did this happen???
Flargh.

Happened to thousands of people. Because AT&T knew they were going to be bombarded with pre orders and decided to do nothing to prepare, do their system FUBAR'd tons of orders.
Just got off of the phone w/att. The csr stated that only those who pre-ordered before 11am on 9/14 are 'first come first serve', any orders after the 11am cutoff are shipped based on proximity, basically they are getting phones to people who are closest to the warehouses.
Not that I really believe what ANY att employee says, but its not like ANYONE on here believes att's first come *************.

Ordered at 3AM on 9/14, so you can throw that out the window. Just more BS from ATT.
Ordered on the 14th, still waiting...
Ordered around 2pm EDT on the 14th. 32g Black. Still on backorder.
Ordered another phone around 1pm on the 17th. 16g White. Still on backorder. I received a text and confirmation email for both on the day ordered. The order numbers start with 1810 for both.
Not too frustrated as I wsa told expect 14 - 21 days. Happy for those that have received their phones earlier than expected.
