Update!!!

I have a 64 GB iphone 4S I ordered friday morning and it has just lost it's backorder status. It doesn't show it has shipped but it is looking promising for getting it Friday.

Bad side is my IMAC won't turn on (3 yr warranty ran out in June) and I think power supply went out so gotta send it in the shop. Thats the computer that I sync my phone to so is there a way I can take whats in my iphone 3gs and transfer it to another computer so I can send everything to my 4S when it comes in or am I going to have to wait until my imac gets fixed?
 
Black 64gb 4S ordered on October 7th in AT&T store checking in here. Order status still says back-ordered.

Same boat, White 32gb ordered in local store on the 7th well before at 1PM. Still shows backordered, while other people that ordered but not in store are getting tracking numbers..... im guessing they're processing in store orders at the end.

That's what I'm hoping. Ordered a 64GB black in-store as soon as they opened on the 7th. Still backordered.
 
Notes for waiting 4s customers. FedEx

Hello guys...
I work for Fedex and I want to explain some things that u may see.
1st. If your order says shipped with no tracking # .. means that ur Phone or equipment
Has a shipping label/bill/ pick up for FedEx more than likely priority shipping. Which means next business day before 12pm. "due Friday"
2nd. Your phone leaves an apple distribution center "there is one near Nashville Tn" n Texas then loaded to a FedEx truck that then tAkes it to a FedEx airport location. Then sorted/flown by plane processed that night to wait at a smaller Fedex location. If u wont be at home leave a not on the door with ur tacking number. If not call 1-800 gofedex. But the driver Munt make one attempt to your house before you can arrange a pic up package. Which would have to be the following day.

Last.. New Att customer called by phone with credit card Friday 6:30pm central didn't get my terms email till Monday 6::40 pm then I verifieyed it 11:00 pm Monday night. Now says backorder and my order date is 10/11/11. But my payment was pending on Friday? kinda sad but it should b n next week I hope. Wht do u guys think?
 
Same issue. Read my post. On iPhone.

Friday 3am, didn't accept agreement til sunday
10/10:/11 is my order received. Backorder
 
Updated again

Ok well the good news is my black 64 GB 4S now has a UPS shipping number (not sure why I paid for overnight fed ex), but the status now shows shipped and it has a tracking number so I am counting on it for Friday now.

As I stated before I called in just before 445 Friday moring central time, those that called at 1 am and still showing back order I don't know what happened.

As for the terms of service emails yall talked about, I never received one but mine is on a small business account and that may be why (although I am the person in charge of the account you would think they would send me one for anyone that orders one).

Good Luck yall and I hope you (and I) get our phones Friday (course it would be nice to be one of the lucky ones getting it early too lol.:D:p

Congrats bro. Just sucks that I like, beat EVERYONE lol. 2.32am my time, order confirmation email 3.32am att/cali time.

now im at the end of the line..10/10/11, should i cancel and go with apple/reorder? or stick with it. im 100% backordered i gaurantee. seems they dont even begin processing your PLACED order until you accept terms n conditions. kind of messed up.

Did you pre-order through AT&T? I thought you couldn't cancel an order. Also, are you sure it's backordered because if you go to the Wireless Order Status site (assuming you went through AT&T) it says on the left before you login in bold that all pre-ordered devices will ship on or around Thursday Oct 13.

I'm kind of in the same boat as you though. I ordered early Friday, but due to my spacey-ness the actual order didn't get processed until the 10th so my status is also, "backordered". Of course I want the phone Friday, but I also know I'm not going to spontaneously combust if I have to wait a couple of weeks. It would just be nice to know either way when to expect it! :)
 
Anyone else still on backorder?

Sitting on a 64gb white ordered at 1am 10/7 still on backorder. Fuming.

If it makes you feel better I had the same issue last year and finally the day it was due to arrive it finally updated in the system that morning. I would not come on here too often and just get out the house. This site can make you paranoid with the constant updating.
 
Iphone 4S Status

On my at&t account , my order status for myiphone 4s still says back-ordered :( . what does this mean
 
On 10/10, the guy from AT&T told me I'd have it shipped to my house on release day. I got an email later on that same day and saw that it will take 21-28 days for it to ship!!!!!!! :'( I've been checking my status and seeing that it's backordered. I hope it's not so. I don't know how to cancel this.
 
we feel your pain

I am not sure you can cancel your order. I know with the carriers Att and Verison (don't know about sprint) that you cannot cancel the order, you can return it once it gets here but you can't cancel it. I found that strange but had a few people that thought they would go to ATT store friday or the verison person was going to drive to San Antonio and wait in line (we don't live in a big city so there would probably be a good chance of getting them one, SA I wouldn't hold my breath there though stores swear they will have plenty). Either way all five of them found out they could not cancel the order AND if they went to the store to the phone they would pay the unsubsidiezed price because the one on order was already taking the subsidized price and they weren't going to give two phones for on contract subsidized.:confused::(

In the end I feel for you, I know I was one of the ones up in the middle of the night placing my order. I don't think you got a fair deal. They system should have left your order in place in line while waiting for the other email (which I never got) and if anything keep you place but don't ship it until they received the email about TOS.

I don't know why companies still do these click to agree TOS or software agreements. YEARS ago the courts threw out their validity and said the end user was not bound to them.:mad: Lots of reasons for this but the end results were the courts said they are not a valid contract as the companies wish they were. Ok stepping off the soapbox before I really get going...

On my end my phone is in UPS hands and at the DFW Airport scanned in yesterday so at least it is in my state, now I just have to wait for it to trickle down to me over the next 36 hours, but I will have my phone tomorrow so I am GREATLY relieved.;):cool::):D
 
This is all my AT&T order says.

No other fancy order screen. Never a mention of a back order. The e-mail I got right after I ordered it said "Your iPhone has been reserved and is expected to be delivered on Oct 14, 2011. ".
 
Ordered a 64 GB black 4S at on 10/7 at 9:20 AM at a retail AT&T Store, and it still says I'm backordered. I'm beginning to get scared that I won't get my iPhone tomorrow and I'll have to take down my eBay auction for my 4.
