Well it happened - moved off backorder sometime in the last hour or so.
32gb black ordered 9/14 with confirmation email showing the order was placed at 4:45 PM EST on 9/14.
For case info I am going with the Otterbox defender. My wife has had one on the four and likes it. I was at a conference last week where they were a sponsor and handing out coupons for free cases so that will be mine by default.

My 32GB Black is still on backorder.
People who ordered on the 16th and 17th , their phones are already getting shipped...
seems like either high demand for the 32gb or not enough
Update
9/14: Ordered 2 iPhone 5 64 GB blacks @ 5:30 PM Eastern on AT&T site.
9/25: Both came off of backorder sometime during the night.
9/26: Received the CSS email for one phone @ 7:40 am. Fedex shipping info immediately available for one of the phones.
9/27: That phone was delivered today@ 2:40 PM Eastern. I thought both phones would be included in the shipment because Fedex reported the weight as 2 lbs and other shipping labels I've seen on the boards here weighed 1 lb for one phone. BUT. . . .there was only one phone in the box!
9/27: I received the second CSS email on the remaining phone about 1:10 PM Eastern. Still no tracking info available for the second phone.
These phones were ordered within 5 minutes of each other. The later phone arrived first!
Both phones are coming to Austin, TX.

is your outstanding phone coming FedEx? if so, it's probably on the truck with mine, headed here tomorrow.
I guess the answer is no. Also I don't think the backorder has anything specific to do with the size or color, because I know many people who ordered iPhones in different sizes and colors that have already received their iPhones, including me. In my opinion, the reason people are still on backorder relates directly to where the iPhone pre-order was placed (Store, Phone, Online) and when the order processed, not when the order was placed. The reason why I think it relates to where the order was placed, is because from what I've heard AT&T has different warehouses for each specific place an order can be placed (store, phone, online). So it could just simply mean that the warehouse you placed your order to has run out of iPhones and is just waiting for another shipment. BTW apple has been giving carriers shipments fairly frequently.

Honestly, there's no direct relation to anything. When you placed it, when it processed, etc. The process seems pretty damn random. Only thing I could think would be proximity to warehouses.
Here is my problem, which one of my friend that works at AT&T told me a lot of people are having this same problem. I placed my pre-ordered on the day it was announced (8PM East). And I got an email saying it was backed ordered the next day, so I waited a good week. Now here is where it gets complicated...
My car was having problems, so I took it to the shop and got it fixed.. and it since it cost just as much as my 32GB.. I decided to just cancel my pre-order because I din't wanna wait forever, and I needed the money for the car anyways. Well my friend told me that cancellation was finalize and my upgrade was reset. That was all on tuesday afternoon, last night at 4:50AM though, I got an email saying that the order has been shipped and it was already on the truck.. on it's way to be delivered. And since I did not have enough money in my account, I freaked out and went to the bank and asked them to check my statement. Turns out, AT&T or Apple or w/e had already took the $316 hold off my account and I was never charged for the phone. My only concern is should I be worried that they will be charging me later tonight, or in the week? so I can put more money in my account.
Because my friend told me that I had to go back into the store and return the phone, then rebuy it.. other wise they will charge me the FULL $700 something for the phone. Which is weird because I already activated the iPhone 5 and is using it with no problems...
I know this was really long and maybe confusing.. but please help! I don't wanna be charged full price for my upgrade. Nor do I wanna give up a free iPhone lol

I ordered a 32GB Black over the phone early the morning of the 14th. Never received a confirmation email so I went into an AT&T store around 2:30pm PST on the 14th. I was told the phone order did not go through.
So I placed the upgrade order in the AT&T store on Friday the 14th at 2:30pm PST. I received the confirmation email shortly after. Not happy about being pushed back further in line due to the phone order not going through, but glad i double checked by going into the store that day.
My order still just shows as "Processing" when I check the status on AT7T's site.
Which is the 4 digit order number you guys are using to determine what group you're in? On my receipt from the store it shows an Order ID of 2175. My order number from the email confirmation i received starts with 4128.
Would either of these numbers help determine when my phone will likely be shipped.

The order numbers mean nothing... I have no idea why people keep on posting them in this thread.
If you're that hard up for money maybe you should get your financial house in order before spending that kind of money on a phone and the monthly service. Sorry to sound like your dad.
Ordered 16gb black on 9/15 but show 9/16.still backordered.anyone get there's who ordered same day
I totally understand what you are saying.. but like I said, I had an unexpected problem with my car. I already deposited a check into the account to cover for the phone and tomorrow is payday, so I will be putting more money into the account. All I really want to know is, will they really charge me for the full price of the phone if I don't come in and "rebuy" it? Because as of right now, my card has not been charged and I would think that if they sent out the phone.. they would already charge it to my card. Which on the email it said that it would be charged now.
