QUOTE=Just1BadApple;5828819]Gee, I was wondering...
If everytime you check your AT&T order status you cause a database record lock on your order for the duration. Then along comes the order fullfillment process looking for the next order in the queue to allocate this nice iPhone the warehouse just received. It finds your order, but, oh, too bad, the record is locked.
No problem, the fullfillment process just goes down the list to find the next one that isn't locked. 
... it wouldn't really work like that would it?!!?

Your over analyzing, ATT just sucks. That's the issue.
