An update on my situation:

They never took my e-mail address, and they never sent any e-mail to anybody on the AT&T account regarding my order. Took me this long to Google the item number on the receipt, and I was shocked to discover that the girl at the counter actually ordered THE WRONG PHONE. I guess I'm experiencing the disappointing delays of the 16GB Black iPhones as opposed to the carefree "OMG I GOT IT IN TWO DAYS" feeling of the 16GB White iPhones. :(

The manager at the store refuses to cancel my DF (which is still backordered) so I can't pick up the phone at an Apple store. Even so, the local Apple store is sold out over the weekend.

Disappointing and frustrating, AT&T.

(Just curious--what's the item number for a white 16gb? The black is 69114.)

The items number for the white is 69115 according to my receipt. I already got my white 16gb iphone via DF
 
As of today, 8 of the 65 orders placed on 7/11 from my local store have yet to ship. It looks like I am a finalist! ;)
 
Yeeeeessssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys, it's official!!!!
I won the AT&T lottery. And the grand prize is...................................... A 16gig Blk Iphone 3G. The order status page just updated. I ordered it 7/11 at 12:30 CST. It will be here Sunday by 3 P.M. Oh, I was the 6th person to place an order at my store in Alabama.:)

8gig Shipped...16 gig still backordered

Just wanted to let everyone know that my 8gig iPhone shipped this evening after being ordered on Saturday 7/12 around 2pm EDT in Sterling Heights, MI.

The 16 gig is still saying backordered, so we'll see how long it takes for THAT to ship...
 
I'm confused. i placed my preorder yesterday for the black 8gig, and today I get an email saying

Thank you for shopping with AT&T. Your iPhone has been reserved. An email will be sent when your iPhone order is shipped.

and it's no longer shown as backordered. Is this going to be a lot shorter than 10-21 days as they said?

The status of backorder goes back and forth depending on AT&T's stock. If AT&T gets in 100 8GB's, then yours will show that it's not backordered. However, once they go through the line of orders to fill, it's likely that they won't get to yours, so everyone they didn't get to will now be backordered until they get more in.

I wouldn't get my hopes up until the tracking number is there.

I got an email though, saying that my phone has been reserved. Wouldn't that mean I was selected out of the stock they got?
 
8gig Shipped..... finally

I ordered form Central Virginia on Saturday. I was the 3rd DF that day from my store.

The 8 GB BLK finally shipped today, will reach on Monday. Though I haven't got an email from ATT nor my card been charged. But it says shipped on the order status page on the ATT website. So I guess I will get it.

This must been one of the longest week of my life. This thread has been like a support line for me..

Thanks y'all.

For those who are still waiting .

Keep the faith !!!
 
Thanks, haha. It's horrible to be here :p

Damn business account. the apple store nextdoor to the cingular store had iphones.

Not sure what type of business discount you have, It's my understanding that you can cancel your discount, buy the device at Apple and then add the discount back. I also understand that it takes approximately two billing cycles for the discount to show back on your account.

Wouldn't you know, they can remove the discount instantly, but it takes them two months to activate it. :confused:
 
worth it!

ordered mine on 7/11 and got it today. Haven't put it down since. Well worth the wait, I am very pleased!
 
well add me to the list of 7/11 orderers who still have no phones and no sign of impending shipment etc. the phone has flipped back to backorder again. now that the screen scraper isnt working im too lazy to figure out how many remain in front of me. though i did find that atleast 1 shipped today.
 
Hey guys.

Ordered 8GB last Saturday (1 week ago) morning.

Lots of calls to ATT, Apple, checking here, checking order status page...Nothing!!! Lots of frustration. I never received any form of order confirmation email or anything...

...BUT...As of about 10 minutes ago my status updated to Shipped.

They're coming, slowly but surely...

I ordered a black 16GB around 7PM 7/14. I've been bored over the weekend so I made a little chart where I keep track of what the proggy at iphonetracker tells me.

Ticked in Tampa

Just ran the script this evening and some guy who ordered on the 18th (White 16G) had it shipped on the 19th.....one @#$% day. Still waiting from the 13th (I know that people from the 11th are still waiting). Went in on Thursday and spoke to the mgr about doing the same thing (cancelling my order and ordering a 16G white). If I did, I would have my phone by now. Sorry but had to vent when I saw this. BTW...his order was the only one that has shipped since the 17th.:mad::apple:
 
Finally!

I ordered two 16GB phones (1 white & 1 black) on 7/11 at 6pm. The white one arrived on Tuesday and the Black one shipped today with an expected delivery of Monday 3pm.

My wife has been taunting me all week with her white one. :p
