Already got my shipped so expecting it on Monday :)
Plus ordered it in 9/16 and my order # was 130 for anyone that has same number luck is coming

Mine starts with XW 120. I think XW indicates mine was a store order. Anyways, I also ordered on 16th, so I am hopeful now.

Does anyone know how the order numbers work? They seem random to me...

They are random, especially since there are 3 ways to order- online, phone and store. And each generates its own genre of order nos. So dont sweat on it. My observation says it all matters when the order was processed.
 
I made an account just now, only to tell you this man is a troll. He also commented saying AT&T gave him a $250 credit. I ordered 4pm in store 16gb white, still on backorder.

I re-ordered in store 7pm, 7/17, 16GB white, still on backorder. I could be totally wrong but I still have a theory that online orders seem to be receiving priority over in store orders. Who knows. I can't figure this company out. Incipio has pushed back the shipping date of my case 3 times so far so maybe it's a good thing I haven't received the phone yet. lol

I'm not a troll or a man. This whole week there has been a "1" under "Qty Back-Ordered"' today it's not there. So, I'm assuming that's what being taken off back-order means. I was trying to be helpful and give updated information. And FYI, ATT did give me that credit.

Well I believe we are next to receive our phones, hopefully (@ 16gb white). I see a lot of people on the 15th receiving I believe. Anyone care to comment on the progress of their 16GB WHITE? 16GB WHITE?

I apologize for that then, that's really insane though. Two of us (so far) ordered around 4PM on the 16th and haven't gone off yet, crazy.

My wife's 16gb white is still on backorder. 14th order date/17th proccessed. My black 16gb came off today!! Just waiting for my shipping info. Hoping it's Monday and not Tuesday!
 
Will we have to insert a sim card when it arrives? In the past, I've only preordered through Apple, and the phones have always come with the sim card already inserted.
 
Got a tracking # on the order status page, not listed as shipped on their site yet, nor is the tracking # working....yet!

Edit: tracking # is working now, but it hasn't been picked up yet by ups

Was your order actually processed on the 17th? I preordered the same phone and on the same day as you and Im still on BO! The only difference is that my order wasn't processed until the 19th! Does your order # start with EXTP?

yup ordered and processed on the 17th. EXTP889985
 
I was tired of this backorder thing so I was reserved two phones at an Apple store an hour drive away. After running back and forth from the Apple store to ATT, I finally had my phones. Never pre-ordering again. The nicest thing of today was seeing a girl accompanied by her dad, walking out of the apple store with a new iPhone 4 in her hand. She was extremely happy and was hugging her dad. Made me feel dumb for caring so much about the latest gadget that a company offers.

I thought ATT were not for filling orders during the weekend. I hope to be off of back order. I have same order date just hope they ship me a 32gb black iPhone.
 
Still no tracking info yet for me. Came off backorder around 445pm today. I assume i won't see any tracking info until Monday. Tuesday delivery sounds nice!
 
16GB white preordered online premier 9/16
Came off backorder around 1 pm 9/29, received shipping info at 4:30pm 9/29. Should be here Monday by 3pm via FedEx!!!!!!! Hang in there it'll come, I had almost given up on ever coming off backorder! Upgrading from 3GS #
 
I stand corrected!

Just got shipping information!

9/17 32GB Black

Took almost exactly 14 days to ship...not too bad except I could have gone to the apple store on the 21st since I had the day off...

Oh well!
