My mystery solved!
My Apple order went through on the 15th around 2pm or so. I was also trying the ATT site and although I got almost to the end, even entered my credit card number, it never went through. Received and confirmation email and an order status email from Apple. BUT my Apple order status seems stuck at "Prepared For Shipment" and still has not changed as of 9:50pm. I spoke with Apple and they say ATT is holding it up, definitely not arriving tomorrow as it says on my order. 😕
I went to check my ATT account online and on a whim clicked on Order Status, even though it never went through and I never received a confirmation email from them (I did with Apple). But Lo and Behold! My iPhone 4 is out for shipment to be delivered tomorrow the 24th?!? With a UPS tracking number and everything?!? Well, I'm very happy but that sure is strange. Of course I'm not canceling my Apple order until I get my new iPhone in my hands but if anybody is in the same boat check your order status in your ATT account online, you might get lucky like me!
