[n8gr88]

i ordered on the 15th at 5:40 pm ish

since then i haven't heard anything, and my order was not recognized by their system ERROR OS001: etc etc...

By chance, did you have one of those "Attention!" status for your processing status?

I'd actually be glad if I got that email. It means that they are working on my order.

that's the thing, my order still shows up as 0S001 not found in our system blah blah blah.

ugh .

so them wanting to insure that the card holder is the one buying the phone is giving you the run around. your right identity theft hardly happens with stuff like this. they said you had till the 23rd just relax. I'm sure they are pretty busy today. it's should be all good.

update:

i got through after about 45 min on hold.

the rep was very helpful, and after about 10 mins of questions and "verification" i was prompted that my order would be processed and to check again later on tonight via the online "check order status" page.

i checked and this is what i got:


Date Ordered: 06/16/10
FREIGHT: IN PROGRESS
I4 #1: IN PROGRESS
I4 #2: IN PROGRESS
SIM: IN PROGRESS
SIM: IN PROGRESS

all under "ordered" and none "backordered!"

HOWEVER i ordered yesterday (15th) and it says 16th... hmm.

If they just got around to processing your order today, it says the 16th. Mine does and I ordered yesterday around 2PM.
