Ordered 10/1
In store -AT&T
Ordered 4 iPhone 5 BLK 16 GB
Still back ordered
Chatted with an AT&T rep.. Said that my order will be shipped between 10/19-10/30

anyone got their iPhone 5 when they ordered on 10/1?

I don't think so. I'm a 32gb black orderer on 10/1 and I am still on backorder. I haven't asked when mine ships but I hope next week. Surely they aren't behind the 16gb models too!
 
This wait better be worth it is all I'm hoping.
That GS3 is looking sexier by the day...

I swear it's definitely worth it! Today it was being delivered and the first thing i did was stared at it for 30 mins lol. It's AMAZING even just the way it looks.

----------

Here's my timeline for my wht 16gb for those of you that might be interested:
(Ordered via phone from GA)
9/21: ordered around 7pm - 8pm.
9/22: processed around 6:39am.
10/18: came off BO around 1:30pm.
10/19: got tracking number around 10am.

It's being delivered UPS 2nd Day Air on 10/23 "By End of Day." That would make it 22 business days from an expected 21-28.

The wait continues..

You should be glad tho, at least you got everything :)

That's weird I swore I read the 32s were shipping faster. I know I saw some 64s ship in less than a week. I thought 32s were under two weeks.
 
I ordered my two iPhone 5 64G black on 10.09.2012 and both arrived on 10.12.2012. Employee states perhaps the reason our phones arrived sooner than if I had ordered the 16GB or 32GB is there my not be much demand for the 64GB model.
 
9/25: Ordered Black Iphone 5 16GB
9/25: Processed
10/19: Went off back order(Around 12pm)

Now I wait until I get the shipping info..

Yeah I thought the demand was highest for the 16GB and the 32GBs were shipping a bit faster, but I haven't gotten off BO and I ordered 10/1, and it doesn't sound like anyone else in October has either except the 64GB orders. It sounds like you can get a 64GB easily with a few days wait.
 
Ok now they're just all over the place. I saw someone on another forum that just had their 9/28 16gb white come off of BO...and shipped.

EDIT: IT WAS JUST A TROLL ON THE OTHER FORUM..he did not get a 9/28 order shipped, he photoshopped it
(I saw that too....NOT FAIR:rolleyes: lol)

I ordered 1 16GB black and 1 16gb white 9/26

Wow they're way too forgiving on that forum lol
 
Just checked the last few replies in the "Verizon Pre-Order Thread" and it does look like a lot of people are getting their iPhones pretty quick. The VZW 16gb models are slower to ship, but the 32/64 models are shipping pretty quickly (within a week). Just FYI...

Still 3-4 weeks it seems. Hope you're patient. By the way, your screen name is terribly painful to read.

Lol, guess my time is coming soon then. And my
name is Ian, if that helps at all.
 
OK, my first post on this thread.

Went to the AT&T store on 9/23 and ordered a 16GB Black and a 16GB White. We're new to AT&T (from Verizon).

The black 16GB (mine) is off BO and has UPS shipping info. It's in Texas right now. Shipped today (10/17). I checked this morning and it was still BO. Checked again just now (7PM) and the darn thing is shipped.

The 16GB white (wife) is still showing BO. Hopefully, it gets shipped today or tomorrow.

Here's the thing. I won't be able to activate my phone, since we're porting both numbers. I don't think I can port my number and still have my wife's on Verizon.

It's gonna be excruciating having my phone sit in a box for a day or two waiting for my wife's phone.

Agggh!!!!
Update

Got my iPhone (16-BLK) a few hours ago. I've opened it up and charged it, but I gotta wait for my wife's to arrive before I activate. Anyways, a guy at work said that I should take the SIM out and set it up on iTunes, so that I could at least play around with it. But the iP5 doesn't come with the SIM tool. What????

Anyways, my wife's iPhone (16-WHT) came off of BO this afternoon (1PM) and just recently got the shipping info (9PM). I'm guessing that it'll come in on Monday night.

Hi guys!

I ordered a black 16gb phone last Friday, so I've been following this thread for a week (I know, just a week). I was bored at work today and called 2 radioshacks and both of them had the white 16gb in stock. They both agreed to hold them for me until 5:30pm when I could get off of work (I did cancel the first hold after I found a closer location). I called AT&T and had my order cancelled and my upgrade eligibility back in about 10 minutes. I had to be a little firm with the CSR to get it cancelled, she told me about 5 times that she didn't know if she could cancel it because my order was processing, but it worked.

I just wanted to share in case anyone is tired of waiting and has a radioshack nearby, especially in the Cleveland suburbs.
 
Well I'm 9/27 and it appears by how the dates are going that I may get it by the end of the week next week. That's fortunate because I am SO close to canceling my preorder and going with a Lumia 920 or new Nexus
 
How long after it gets off BO do they charge your account for the phone? Do they charge the same day it ships?

i got charged the day after i picked up my phone from the att store
