Does the backorder status relate to which phone you ordered?

I just used the att order status trick and saw that 2 people who ordered after me have had their phones shipped yet I ordered on the 11th and have still not gotten mine shipped.

:mad:

It looks like the white ones are shipping first.
 
I hope the 'You ordered on Friday and it'll ship the 15th' schpiel is real.

I wonder if it applies to all models...:confused:
 
Ordered my iPhone yesterday and have decided that I am not checking anything. It comes in when it comes in. Life is too short to obsess over a phone and checking the status every 20 minutes isn't going to make it come in any faster.
 
Got it

I order around 11 am on Friday, and just picked my white 16g up. It was replacing my old 8g. The guy at the store said they'd gotten 3 in that day for fullfilment. He wasn't sure of the rhyme or reason.
I was kicking myself about signing up, but after the 3 hr wait in line, it was nice to know when it was available and go and get it.
 
my black 16gb ordered friday at noon is also winging its way to me. I should have it tomorrow (God willing). Finally!
 
Well, one of my two 8gb phones came in today (ordered friday morning) which really makes me mad because its a two hour drive to the ATT store. I really don't want to make two trips.
 
Maybe AT&T's tracking system crumbled under the weight of so many iPhones shipping at once?

Hopefully?

Please?

This is what i am hoping. I can get on at all now. Some weird message comes up. I'll just pop in Guitar Hero and chill for a few hours.

I wish I had your patience. Ever since UPS and FedEx created real time tracking I've become obsessed with tracking packages. It's pointless and probably immature but it keeps me off the streets and away for the drugs. Given the option of tracking something with a tracking system that provides no information is kind of my own private Chinese Water Torture. Good God I've become everything I beat up in high school.

Yay:)

P.S. The pick up location was Forth Worth, TX.

Wow, you can go 20 minutes without checking? :)
 
my backorder status flip flopped from 1 to 0 all day yesterday, then stayed at one. it now just changed for the first time today to 0.

PLEASE!!

I still don't understand why people who ordered the same thing AFTER I did are getting it shipped first. Maybe my status just hasn't updated. If not, I guess I'll be speaking to an AT&T rep at some point and voicing my complaint.
