I have been here for 4 and 4s and I am here again now. I had not posted yet cause I was trying a different approach (the slow agonizing process of waiting without talking), but I have been reading calmly.
Well my order just went off back order today.
Ordered blk 16GB 9/17 and pushed to 9/19
Checked status today as I did everyday and the "calm thing" just went off the roof.
Called AT&T at 5pm eastern and got the regular run over.
Checked order status just now to see the famous 0 under back order.
Now I am a little better as I know the worst case now, according to this forum, is getting my phone next week.
Thank you all!

Hope u get your iPhone 5 Soon! ill have to wait a little longer

Hey, guys. New to this forum.

I received my confirmation email on 9/18 for my 16GB W.

My order just came off of BO today.

9/19 off backorder

I ordered around 10:45 am cst in store and just got off backorder about 2 hours ago. I ordered a 16gb black model. Hope this gets the ball rolling for all of the orders after mine.
 
So this is where we're at today- white 16's ordered on the 18th and the black 16's ordered on the 19th came off BO. Let's see what tomorrow brings...
 
Order/Process date: 9/18

16g white is finally off b/o as of 10/8 and I hope it ships soon!!! My boyfriend has had his for almost a week now and he ordered after me....

I ordered a black 16gb on the 19th and still showing BO... I hope I didn't miss the latest batch :/
 
I've called & I went in the store! I get the run around, they even told me the SIM cards were on backorder. I tried to cancel....TWICE!!! I'm at the point now where all I can do is just be mad, wait it out & keep reading this forum knowing that I'm not alone #

AT&T is on CRACK... There's no other explanation... CRACK I tell you!
 
Ordered my i5 on 9/18/12 @ 4pm at my local AT&T store in connecticut. Processed 9/18/12 I'm still processing on backorder. From my sources, my friend at apple said they are shipping i5 16gb white or black by week. So to say you ordered 9/17/12, this is your week for shipment. 9/18/12 is ready for shipment next week and so on and so on for the next preorder week. Another thing my friend told me was that if you lived closer to California, your chances of getting your i5 16,32, & 64gb preorder on whatever date you will be getting it first. For that reason, I don't know why but is unfair. But that's what my friend said who works for apples headquarters in California. I'll keep posting info on my order if anything changes, but mean time I can patiently wait for the i5. The i4 is still treating me great and I already lost the excitement in owning the new i5.
 
16GB black ordered 9/18 off backorder

My 16GB black that i ordered on 9/18 went off preorder some time today between 3 and midnight, because i just checked it and it showing 0.

This describes my feeling sadly enough

White 64 ordered from the apple store on the 14th, 6:30pm. Shipped from Korea on the 4th, arrived in Anchorage on the 5th at noon and departed Anchorage on the 5th at 2:21pm. Since then, nothing! Was there a problem with the flight between Anchorage and (I think) Louisville? It's driving me nuts...
