Got email today at 3:47 that it will get here Thursday!!!

Expecting the phone 10/25 at my house!!! FINALLY this has been a long process and i didn't even think i would write this email! SO happy i finally will be having my iphone 5 and just in time for the weeked!

Good Luck everybody!
 
so any news for the black 32gb, i was hoping for it to come off of backorder today... btw i order on the 2nd.

i gues its not...

well today is the third week from my order exactly and the 15th business day.

however it looks like my expectation came true, and att is now starting to work on multiple days of box, because the farther away the day is from the beginning of the process the less iphones were ordered.

anyway anyone have an idea of when it will come off of bo

Yeah I honestly thought the 32GB models were shipping faster than the 16gb ones, but mine is still on BO and I ordered the 1st of the month.

If we follow this pattern, we should be off BO Thursday or Friday of this week. Either Apple isnt making as many 32GB models or the demand for them is just as high as the 16...
 
Don't know if this has been answered before but, do some orders come off of BO on weekends?
I suspect my oct 2 order will ship Thursday, Friday or Monday.
Hopefully.
 
Can you explain this please?[/QUOTEwell my assumption is/was that the most orders/preorders take place closest to the actual launch date of the phone. therefore every further date has less. and less orders. now assuming that att always has the same amount of stock per day, the phones ordered on later launch dates shud start coming off bo more quickly, due to the fact there were a less number of phones ordered
 
Someone had their 16gb white ordered on 9/30 come off backorder!! Mine is the same day but black 16gb.
 
Hey guys, I'm back!
This question is for a friend of mine, he ordered a 32gb black in-store on 9/27 and as of 5 minutes ago the order status page still shows BO. Where are we in regards to 32gb black phones?

Ps. I'm posting this from my iPhone 5, and it's very much worth the wait :) hang in there everyone!
 
Ordered a black 32gb on 9/27 @ 3pm online from AT&T Premier.

I'm a new customer.

It is now day #26 (business day #18).

It has said "Processing" since I first placed my order.

I have received no further emails since my initial order summary email from Premier.

The wait continues! :(

Seems like 32's are moving at a slow pace...

Same same :D I'll let you know

If nothing happens tonight we can safely assume something will happen tomorrow.

Yeah. I was hoping for tonight though because I'm gonna be out of town late Thursday through late Sunday. If it shipped tonight, I could see it early Thursday.

Same here, I'm just very excited to finally own an iPhone. I've been stuck with non smartphones for a few years. Hopefully I won't be so anxious the next time I order another iPhone since I'll have my 5 to use. :D

Haha oh wow you're in for a treat. The 4 was my first, still have it. You're going to be very unproductive for the first week since you'll be glued to it haha.

Too bad school will be in the way hahaha. I'm hoping the phone treats me well knowing that I won't upgrade for about 2 years.
 
School was in the way for me too, :p, let's just say I had to study a bit extra after that first week lol

The first week of waiting was the hardest. I kept checking the order status everyday even though i knew it would be shipped within 14-21 days. lol
 
r u kidding me, the 32gb blacks are behind the 16gbs how is this even possible???

Starting to look that way... still hoping mine will ship by the end of the week but it's looking less and less likely now. Did Apple just quit making 32gb blacks in favor of all the 16gb orders?? I mean, I thought they were shipping much faster than either of the supposedly high demand 16gb models.

Seems like they slowed down production of the 32's to account for the high number of 16gb orders. As for the 64's not a lot of people get those anyway. Who knows really?
