Been following this thread like crazy when it was around 40 posts... signed up now to reply. Been texting 6737 like crazy and finally...
I ordered a 32GB matte black on 9/9 at about 9 that wasn't processed until early am on 9/10 (estimated ship dates are 10/7-10/14) and just got the back order text via the 6737 and the phone number said one or more items unavailable. I'm not holding my breath but hopefully this is good news like others have said and I get tracking info soon(I have ups, usps and fedex setup for text alerts just in case).
I made the dumb mistake of going AT&T again this year for the promotion after my 6plus fiasco where I preordered on AT&T at 3am eastern and canceled the day after launch as I reserved and picked up my phone at apple the when it went on backorder at AT&T. I saw Best Buy had some yesterday but AT&T wouldn't honor the promotion that expired on 9/25 so I kept my preorder.
Hope everyone starts seeing movement soon!
