ATT iPhone 5 Pre-order thread

Because of this ^, I am sooo tempted to jump ship to Galaxy S3, heck, the S4 may even be out by the time we get our phones...
Perfect timing, my macbook pro is getting old, and my 1st gen ipad runs like a$$. So tempting. Really what I am probably going to do is by an iPhone out right and return it when my ordered phone comes in.
Again, don't want to sound like your father, I was young once too (I'm 32, feel like an old man) but I hate seeing people in situations like your in. Expect the unexpected! Learn from my mistakes lol. It's very liberating even to have 5-10k in the bank! Seriously, once you get a little cushion (and it comes quicker than you realize if you really bunker down), you'll feel a lot better about buying toys like iPhone 5 and have something else come up! Sorry if I sounded like a prick earlier. Enjoy the phone. Still waiting for mine! And as for the phone charge... Expect the unexpected lol- they'll probably charge you 3X and really screw you up!

Lol we all have aspirations in life! Who's to say yours isn't valid lol,

Yeah I got a good laugh from that exchange ha ha
Marcus! I just called them and they stated that I am no longer on back order, they said no phone is? They are just fulfilling the orders now. The lady I spoke to the other day, said she looked and it said -10,000, now it says zero, so who knows, but online when I look it up it says backordered still??? Argh
EXTP8892 as well here....

P.S. this is crap:
Bull$****
Hey!
Yesterday I went to my local ATT store to make an iPhone 5 upgrade. This tuesday I received an iPhone 5 16gb as a gift but I wanted the 32gb version.
So I went to the store and they told me that I could do that but I would have to pay the 299.99 at the moment, so I did. I received an email about an hour and half later with subject: Your recent ATT order status. It said that the order was placed and that it will arrive in 14-21 days.
So after 30+ hours I check on the https://www.wireless.att.com/order_status/order_status_results.jsp website and to my surprise it only shows my iPhone 5 16gb order, not the new one.
I called to ATT about 30 minutes ago and they don't even know if the order went through.
Has anyone been through this?
Any help/tip/advice?
Thanks.

Yeah. Me too! Preordered the 14th 6am. Took until the wee hours this morning to get off backorder. Probably take 2 more weeks for the tracking number.
It will probably ship tonight and be overnight-ed, would be my guess, and I have the same status.

im guessing though its too late now for it to get here tomorrow if it hasnt even started moving yet??
Cancel it and deal directly with apple. AT&T clearly demonstrated a lack of professionalism in their industry.
Don't know about that. Mine came off backorder yesterday morning and hasn't changed since.
WOW just got a tracking number! Suppose you'll get your # tonight. Mine came off backorder 1am this morning.
Nah, if I remember my mom's phone didn't even leave Fort Worth until maybe at the earliest midnight.

Ordered a 16gb Black on 9/14 at approx. 9:45am CST.
Accepted terms and conditions
Was told that I would receive it no later than 9/26.
Received order confirmation with order # text message at 10:02 am.
Received a text message on Saturday stating that I needed to accept terms and conditions. Called AT&T because I had already accepted them, was assured that everything was fine with my order. Received another text message on 9/19 telling me (again) to accept my terms and conditions. Called AT&T again... this time, after a bit of hesitation and furious typing on their end... was assured that everything was fine... checked my order status... my order had been bumped to 9/19...
Have called AT&T numerous times about this... the jist of their response is... "you're not the only one having this problem..."
Obviously... I'm still on back order and showing an order date of 9/19.
