Originally ordered through apple's website right at pre-order time. Long story short: I had to cancel my apple order...reservations with Sam's Club...Sam's Club 7-10 business days delay...Took my chances for incoming shipments at AT&T and Apple stores for a walk in purchase, no luck...gave up and ordered on Oct 1. This is for a white 32GB for the wife. I do have a premiere account, but not sure and don't think it matters. On a side note, I got lucky, got my black 32GB in-store walk-in AT&T Sep 23.
