Congrats!!! When did you order? Hope mine is close behind.

I ordered Friday about 11am-Noon MST. Got the White iPhone. And mine was listed Backordered a half hour before it showed as shipped.

I don't think Backordered here means what people assume.
 
Mine as well. I ordered (16GB White) Saturday morning, around 9:30 am EST. Flipped back and forth and late this afternoon it moved from not back ordered to back ordered and has been that way all evening.

Order number can't mean anything - I ordered at noonish on Saturday and mine is 58.

I think the poster who suggested that the switch from backorder to not on the phones indicates ATT's own stock is probably right. Mine is switching too. Maybe we should post the times to see if it switches for all of us at the same time?

At 4pm, mine was NOT backordered. By 6:30 it was backordered - and it still is. And I'm on Eastern time, US.
 
anyone else having issues checking order status on att. I also went to the store today to see what the deal was with my phones. Now this guy is saying 2 weeks. I was like what the hell....thats not what yall said to me friday when I PAID for the phones.
 
I hope so, and great choice on the white, that is what I decided upon too. I was using a friends 16GB Black today and while great it made me feel I made the best decision on the white.

Remember way, way, way back to last week when tech writers were attempting to downplay the iPhone 3G launch? I remember reading a more than a couple preview stories about how this 3G was "less revolutionary" than the original iPhone (perhaps true but irrelevant) and how there weren't going to be huge lines or supply shortages. Boy those were good times.
 
Mmmm, this is getting worrying.

Ordered 10:00am or so Friday 16gb Black and order number is 2712

Both freight and phone is back order (around 1pm the phone was not)

Same situation here. Phone was not backordered all day until about 2 hrs ago. Now I have a 1 in both backordered slots. Check your credit card. AT&T said they would not charge the card until it shipped (Yeah Right they already got the cash)

2 WEEKS:eek: I really hope that guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I was told 3-5 business days when I ordered on Friday, so I'm trying to wait as patiently as I can until Friday, but after that I will not be too patient. I know that its just a phone but I really hate waiting for things:eek:
 
I'm not sure the order number means anything. I thought it was the number from each store, but I can't imagine people ordering early on Friday and having over 6,000 people in front of them.

My order # is 2 and it hasn't shipped. Yes, 2. I don't think it means anything, at least as far as how soon your order will ship.
 
There hasn't been any change to my order status today. I decided to copy my order number then add and subtract from it in order to check the status of other orders at my store. It appears that there were 72 direct fulfillment orders placed at my store(Highest order number 154623, lowest 154551). I checked about 20 of them including a bunch that were placed before mine and all of them were still listed as back ordered. I don't understand how even the first order placed at my store is still back ordered.
 
Looks like those of us in California will have to wait until tomorrow for ours to ship. I'm hoping it'll ship soon!
 
Friday around 10:00am eastern in Virginia for 16GB black. Mine still says backordered (order status is "In Progress" and has been that way the whole time) and I have seen absolutely no switching back and forth. Really depressing.

Yeah 2 weeks I was like are you kidding me. I keep checking to order status website and mine says backordered. I talked to an att phone rep today and he said that those that ordered friday were having theirs SHIPPED monday doesnt mean that they get them monday. Those that ordered Saturday were having theirs shipped tuesday and those that shipped after those 2 days were going to have to wait at least a week.

I just don't think these people really know what they are talking about so they make crap up. I ordered mine on Friday 12:30pm EDT and it didn't ship today so there goes this that AT&T rep's theory. Sometimes I wish people would just say...."sorry I don't have the information and do not know how to get it" instead of lying about it.

I just wish that they didn't say "oh they'll probably be in tomorrow or at the latest monday" LIES ALL LIES I TELL U!!! I could have really used that phone this weekend.
 
Why do I find myself with Faith Hill's, 'Where Are You Christmas', in my head? Except "Christmas" is changed to "iPhone" :(

I've been seeing "In Progress" for the past 3-4 days, and now I'm back to Back-Ordered. I paid a little extra to have my case shipped faster so that I'd have it in time for my phone. I guess I'll have it WAY in advance.

LOL!! Amen. Few things drive me more crazy than what you just said, in fact I was just telling that to a friend the other day. just tell the truth, you sound more intelligent I swear!
 
those that shipped after those 2 days were going to have to wait at least a week.

That's just great! i ordered mine sunday 1030 and was told that I would get it saturday the latest and that they only received shipments Tue-Thu-Sat. I can't wait another week the whole back and forth of being backordered and not will drive me CRAZY!

Is this the case for all ATT stores? I hope not.
 
I can't keep up with everything everyone has heard. Its drivin me nuts :eek:
Who has actually gotten their phone from Direct Fulfillment or who knows that they are getting theirs on a certain day. I'm just curious when people ordered and where they are located.
