iPhone 5 Reservations, Who got this gem?

[onepremiere]

While I was ordering the phone through the Apple Store App, I got a message saying, "We've got an iPhone for you." After the store could not connect with AT&T to verify information.

At 12:31 AM PDT I received an Email with a Reservation Number.

Reservation Confirmation

About an hour later I received this.

Anyone else fall into this mess?

What was the outcome?

I would like to assume since I received a reservation that I'd keep my place in line. Anyone confirm that?

I'm in the same boat as you. Got the "reserved" e-mail from Apple around 12:15PST when the shipping date was 9/21 and when I completed the follow-up e-mail, the shipping said 2 weeks. There was another thread where a few people mentioned the same situation:

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1440978/

but when they checked their order status a few hours later, the shipping date was changed to 9/21. I can't get to the order status page on Apple (must be too many server hits), but hopefully ours will change to 9/21 soon as well.

Typed too soon. My order status page is back up and shows delivers 9/21. Hope the same happens for you soon!
