Thanks. This is the first time that I have been happy to see that money has been debited from my account :)
 
Ordered my black 16gb in verizon store on 9/28, according to my tracking number my iphone 5 will arrive on my door step tomorrow :)
 
soooo, a little bit ago, called to cancel my order (per the att rep on chat who gave me the number and said itd be a good idea to try local stores). the rep over the phone told me i couldnt cancel. fine, whatever, tell me where my phone is?

she told me the ship date (10/22-10/31 ... which has changed a few times). she said she had other details that it had "left the queue" and would be shipping in "a few days". went home and checked backorder, still showing "1". called them back because i found a phone nearby in stock, they said i couldnt cancel my order, i brought up what the previous person had mentioned about shipping, he said he doesn't know where she would have gotten that info from.

i asked him if she lied, he said "probably"... nicely done at&t. all i want is to cancel my order. not asking for money or to ship it faster ( i know other people are waiting longer).

this was ordered 10/2, 16 gb black over the phone
 
I ordered at an AT&T store on 10/01/12. When do you think I should see mine go off back order?

9/25 still waiting. AT&T appears to be up to 9/21 to 9/23 at best for 16GB orders based on past posts. So you are very likely 2 weeks out if I get mine this week.
 
i have been calling around and they have some white 16gb and black 32gb. no 16gb in black. im thinking of changing to 32 just cause places have them. what happens if my phone has a flaw out of the box since i dont have an apple store?

Mine had very minor ding. Like extremely minuscule and if I didn't know about the "scuffgate" I wouldn't have noticed it. I figured since it was gonna be in a case most of it's life that there was no reason to exchange. Especially something as small as it was.

I would assume the stores have a stock of replacement phones but who knows.

That's fine by me as long as I get it by November 7th the latest. Hope everything works out for you. Shouldn't I get it in 37 days total? One can only hope.
 
Don't just say my 16gb is being shipped, it confusing because the white iphone orders are still behind and your probably talking about a blk iPhone. It not helpful for white iphone customers . I order my iphone 9/21 and its still on BO :mad:
 
Finally received mine today...ordered apple.com on 9-16...LOOOOOONG wait, but I must admit as I hold my new black 16GB GSM iPhone 5 in my hand, it was well worth the wait...this thing is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!!
:D

Sweet!:D
 
Still waiting on my white 64GB ordered on Sept 21 from the Apple site. Still says "Processing Items". The wait is killing me needless to say.

yeah but i have no stores close to me. its being shipped to my home. so if there is scuffs or dings or chips, who do i show? do i just call apple and see what they can do. im just hoping its perfect since the wait is hard enough to deal with.

You may get off back order sometime this week. Let us know what happens!
 
Got mine

I ordered a Verizon 16GB White on Sept 15, it came today, Oct 15. Good luck, folks.

Edit: I gotta tell you; it's worth the wait. Beautiful and a great performer.

Ordered mine at the ATT store saturday 10/13. The guy said wait 2-3 days before any shipment to go through. As of now its still in progress 2 days later.

I'm reading bad stories about really long shipping times because of the foxconn strikes. I have a feeling im in that boat.

The guy said expect the phone in 2-3 weeks. I guess I should expect more like 3-4 weeks?
 
I just received confirmation that my order HAS SHIPPED!

Ordered from Apple.com on September 24

16GB White

Australia

My original estimated shipping date was October 23 - 30. I never even got a message saying "Preparing to ship". They moved it straight from Processing to Shipped.

I'm supposed to have my iPhone by Friday, October 19th! :D
