Ordered black 16gb through Premier ~9p ET on 9/19.

Went off back order between 5p and 8p tonight. No shipping email yet.

I may or may not have screeched when I finally saw a zero under the back order column. And it's not even my phone (I preordered on 9/14 and got mine on launch day...my dad didn't have me order him one for five days...)

Just logged in to see shipping info - will be here tomorrow!!

So - my total timeline was:

9/19 - ordered 9pm ET, had estimated ship date of 10/9-10/18
10/9 - off back order
10/10 - got shipping info (FedEx next day air)

Good luck to all who are still waiting! I am happy to finally bow out of this thread ;)
 
Been keeping a close eye on this thread since I ordered my W16 GB on 9/23.

So the 9/19's and 9/18's 16 GB's are getting off backordered and being shipped this week.

I was on another forum and a guy ordered a black 16 GB on 9/23 through AT&T and got tracking info for it last night.

I think we should be seeing a lot of movement this week and the next two for all pre-orders and those who ordered a few days after the launch date for the 16 GB's. I'm hoping.

Congrats! mine shipped today also, but it's being sent by UPS 2nd Day Air so i have to wait until friday, grr. Haha still very very glad its finally over!
 
Ordered 16gb black 9/20. Still on back order, but that is the reason I ordered late. Let someone else do the beta testing & returning multiple phones. Actually, I'm worried I'm still getting the phone too early, but I hope that at least some of the initial glitches will have been ironed out by the time my phone was manufactured.
 
Bad news. Got my phone now. Just checked and both phone has some scratch or something.

Do I go to apple or AT&T.

If I go to apple, do I need a reservation for the genius or something?
 
dam all these 9/19 getting shipped.. what about 9/20!!!??? come on.. move it..

can all the remaining 9/19 people just call in and cancel your dam orders please!!! you don't need no stinking iphone that spontaneous separates!!!
 
I got mine on Monday!

I ordered mine on the 21st and it shipped out on the 4th of October, 2nd day air and I got it on Monday the 8th! I was dying all weekend knowing that it was on its way. When it finally came it was glorious! My Iphone 4 was stolen back in June and I have not had a phone since as I waited for the 5 to come out. So glad I waited...it was worth it.

iPhone 5 Black 64GB Ships same day. :)

Went into our local AT&T store yesterday (10-9) around 1:00PM and paid for a new black 64GB. Checked the order status around 11:00PM last night (10-9) and it shows shipped same day with a UPS 2nd day tracking number.

I've been checking the tracking number all morning and all it shows is this:

I don't see any movement and I hope it arrives before the weekend. :)

Yah I may be new to this forum....but I have been around the Apple community for quite sometime and probably know more and own more products than you ever will. I just wanted to share my good news. Sorry you are heartbroken that you have not received yours yet. Least you could do is be happy for me that it came in since I have not a phone for months on end.

When did you get off BO again? I really hope more of the 9/19 16gb whites start moving.
 
Seriously considering cancelling my 9/30 black 16gb order and ordering a black 64gb...too risky or worth it?
 
phone shipped

Long time reader, first time poster. Thought It'd be nice to share my order details.

White iPhone 16gb
Ordered/Processed 9/18 around 2pm PST
Went off backorder 10/9 around 4pm PST
Got tracking order/ship notice 10/9 around 10pm PST

Tracking number (UPS) was provided on the order status page, but I have yet to receive an email from AT&T saying my phone has shipped and from what I read, I should?

The UPS tracking number does not register in their system and still says it cannot be found nearly 12 hours later. Not sure why, but hopefully I get my phone in the next couple days. I hope this gives some hope to those who ordered on 9/18.
 
Went off BO last night, but still no shipping info

Same here. Hoping for an email soon.

----------

Will they email you if it goes off backorder? Like I said, I can't even check my order status unless I call them. Nothing is showing up online.

You should be able to check your status here: https://www.wireless.att.com/order_status/order_status_results.jsp (with phone number or order number)

Did you order in an AT&T store? Also, when and what did you order?

I'd say worth it. But I also think that 16gb is too little for iPhone. So I may not be helping much. haha. Good luck and let us know what you do.

How about looking completely from a time perspective? Money and phone capacity aside. I feel like I would get it significantly faster.
