i know exactly how you feel. at&t told me im pushed to the beginning of oct. i too ordered mine at 5am (pst) on friday through at&t website.
today i saw a lady at cost plus with the white one and it looks amazing!
maybe next time around, i'll think twice before i preorder, especially since i already sold my iphone 4 which i must ship to the buyer by oct 1st

nothing to do but be patient i guess!
