I think some of us are more pissed off by the dates we received, than not getting the phone before promised shipping dates. I ordered at 11:58pm PST on preorder launch evening. that is a full 10 minutes before Apple and VZW went live. How in the heck can someone get an order in that early, and still receive shipping dates two weeks out from launch day? That is insane. This is my 9th preorder (the previous 8 were with Apple, but I went with ATT this time because I was put in a cue early and got in 5 minutes before the 3:00 am opening). Then, people who ordered not just hours, but days after me started receiving shipping notifications. Then, their server crashes and they tell people it is "scheduled routine maintenance"? So yeah, I'm not happy with the way this whole thing went.
Yea

Ok so here's what I'm thinking. I've seen a TON of people with 128GB, MB, IP7+'s have their status change to "back ordered" in the past 24 hours(including mine). I also see that most of these people are in the southeast. So I think that they are preparing to ship ours when one of the incoming planes gets here. I think we will see a HUGE wave of shipping info by tomorrow or Thursday at the latest! At least I hope so and hope ours aren't truly back ordered:p

128+ mb... got the spam text, checked *6737# now says backordered. Finally! I'm in The northeast region , Delaware to be exact.
 
Received this text from At&T around 2pm today. Site still says preparing to ship, *6737# remains the same. Does this mean it actually shipped or no??? Checked tracking by reference on ups; none found.

The serious lack of regard for 'first come, first serve' is what pisses me off. Game over ATT. Never ordering from you again. Wondering if people at Verizon had the same issue, because I'll switch my damn network.
