Mine had been stuck at the DFW airport since 2:40 yesterday. No updates yet. I don't know what's going on...

At least you made it to FedEx/UPS. Im still just in 1 0 0 status. Been off backorder since Saturday at 4 pm. Everyone else who went off backorder Saturday and Sunday all got shipping info.....

I am in the same boat, went off backorder Saturday afternoon and I continue to wait for shipping info!
 
What in the flying ****. I went off backorder Saturday and I still have no tracking info. Geeze you think your getting somewhere good coming off backorder and then AT&T finds more ways to screw your order up.
I ordered on 9/17 @ 8am and was taken off bo on Sat. and still have no tracking info. :(
 
hang in there everyone! I know it sucks, but we'll all get our phones eventually :apple:
Soon we'll be laughing about this

Right... We'll all be like:

Remember that time AT&T jacked up my 9/14 am IPhone 5 PreOrder and I didn't get it til weeks later? Wasn't that fun-- wait... I'm STILL pissed at them.

lol

Same boat man. 16 Black came off back order Saturday like 4-6ish. And still no tracking info.
 
to the people who ordered 16gb black, what was your "date ordered" date on the Order Status page?
 
Mine came off Backorder on Saturday 1pm-6pm, and I still don't have tracking info.

16gb Black
ordered 9.17 @ 1:00pm
Chicago (Central Standard Time)
 
Ordered 2 phones on 9-17-12 from AT&T store.
1 white 16g
1 black 16g

Still in processing and have seen no change yet. The last few times I've pre ordered at AT&T the phones came in sooner than expected and we were able to pick them up at the store.

Seems like a lot of us that came off back order Saturday still no tracking info... Strange. I thought I was the only one. After coming off backorder Saturday I thought for sure a Tuesday delivery. Of course AT&T can figure out another way to screw something up.

I placed my order on the 14 at 600am EST for 16Black. It didn't process till the 17th. Not sure what time on the 17th. My date ordered in my first email said the 14 and that I would receive my phone on launch day. After not receiving on launch I logged in to check the stays of my order and the date on the order status page said that I ordered the 17th. Oh well at least I am finally off back order. Just waiting for my shipping information. It's been 2 days without shipping so far...
 
Ok, so seeing as a lot of people who ordered on the 17th (or order dates show up as 17th) came off backorder over the weekend, me having ordered on the 19th should HOPEFULLY be coming off backorder today....

pretty please AT&T?
 
waaa no iphone 5

Well I see many MANY people ordered the phone before me. I ordered mine friday 09/21 around five pm. On tuesday 09/25 (still showing processing) read 'pending shipment' and later that day, it was gone.. it has been 'in processing' ever since.
I know we are all reading each others threads, but shouldn' we put where the phones are being delievered? Mine was ordered 9/21 white 32g at 5:00 to come to san antonio, tx.
 
Fedex just stopped by. Came in a black box, pristine condition, almost fully charged already. Now to set it up.

16GB
Black
Ordered on 16th

From what I've been reading about data usage, you want to make sure you are doing your restore from backup over wifi or plugged directly into itunes. Might want to turn off icloud for now. I had already changed from icloud backup to computer backup. Don't want to burn through my 2GB data plan just from doing a restore.

I took a "it'll come when it'll come approach" after it went off back order.
 
I made 2 orders
1 on Sept 25/2012 the second one on Sept 28/2012.
Both of them for a 32 gb white iPhone.

I'll keep you guys posted. Is going to be a looooong wait.

Not this guy! I got my confirmed order 9/17 at 2pm eastern time. Still waiting on my 32 gb iPhone 5 black. Again...still on back order. I thought AT&T did not forfill orders during the weekend that is what I was told. :(.
 
The same as with all other iPhone launches. It looks like a riot will ensue, then people slowly get their phones:

"Ooh Shiny! My Preciousssss!!"

One phone to rule them all.

Sounds like your's fell off the truck and is lying in a ditch somewhere... lol!... I only laugh to keep from crying.
 
Has anyone gone off back order yet today? I haven't seen anyone. I suspect today is the 16gb whites on 15-16th's turn.
 
Does anyone know if I place an order with AT&T, would they bill me the day of my order or when I actually receive the iPhone? I suspect if I order now it will be 2-3 week wait which I am ok with.
