ATT iPhone 5 Pre-order thread

Mine starts from XW120. I had ordered on 16th around 5 PM in store and had requested it be shipped to the store only.
Congrats! I still can't believe that my 9/14 premier order didn't process until 9/18...
I ordered from the store too. I assume that's the store number because it says S848 on my receipt and my order number starts XS848. Don't know what the other letters after it stand for.
Folks.. My White 64 GB iPhone 5 has arrived (before noon) and is finally ready for use.. Final info will be updated in the signature. It's a great phone everyone and going to have been worth the wait. It'll get there, and when it does you guys are going to be very happy. Here's to everyone enjoying their new iPhone! : )
I hate checking my order status, I know it's still gonna have '1' in the backorder slot, yet I still check at least hourly. Every time I finish one task at work/before I begin a new one, I check it.....killing my productivity. I also missed putting in Anquan Bouldin in vs the Browns b/c I was obsessing over my order status and reading this thread....I know, I should've already had him in....

I'll add to the fun and intrigue. I ordered my 32gb black one 9/14 at 12:40, and it was an online order with immediate acknowledgement of the terms of service. The order starts with 5721, was processed on 9/16, and is still on back order.
I was having trouble getting the online order to go through on my wife's phone, so I ordered her 32gb black by phone at 1:10 on 9/14. Got the terms of service email an acknowledged it on 9/15. That one is an EXTP order number and it processed the order on 9/15. I'll note that this phone is on a separate family plan from my phone. The back order went to 0 on that phone around 12 today.
So much for first come first serve (not that I care my wife is getting hers before me - just the principle of how AT&T is handling this crap). I've called AT&T three times now trying to get some sort of explanation. All I can get out of them is that apparently online and phone orders are handled in two completely different systems with completely different warehouses. They even had to transfer me to be able to pull information on the phone order because I was talking to online order support. And they refused to give any bill credits or waive any upgrade fees.
So I guess my wife's 32gb black will be here Monday or Tuesday, and mine is still a 9/14 order in limbo. Lovin' this so much...

What's the delivery date on your tracking order?
I'm still constantly checking my order status...only now I'm looking in the tracking number column instead of the backordered column...I'm not sure this is much better!
My order shows 0 backordered now too! So happy! 64GB White over here. I hope it comes shortly. I cannot wait!
Congrats! I order 2 hours earlier than you..hopefully mine gets BO soon
! This is giving me hope same model and date!What's the delivery date on your tracking order?

Update on my order:
1. Pre-ordered on the 17th via ATT Premier website
2. Got reservation confirmation on the 19th
3. Called ATT to confirm delivery date, I was told 21 business days
3. Wanted to cancel pre-order but I was told my account is active and cannot back off anymore
4. Today 28th I got Fedex shipping confirmation
5. Also today 28th Fedex delivery (have phone my hands now)
BTW, got the black 64GB version and it came with scuffs out of the box - one small scuff (almost unnoticeable) on the lower bezel and some big ones on the left bezel.
I'm going to get a case and not worry about it though.

Cool that you got yours. $h!tty it's scuffed. If mine comes scuffed, I'm gonna get it replaced till they get it right.
My 5 will live in a case till I get a newer model, and I'll sell the 5, re-sale value on a non-scratched phone is much higher than on a damaged phone....
