Does it matter on the model phone? I would think that they would process on a first come first serve no matter the model phone.
oh okay - maybe it's because your is 16gb - I do know that I ordered between 5 and 5:30am eastern on 10/7 and around 9 am I had the funds reflected on my online statement. So I am confident I will be receiving my order on 10/14
----------
I am not sure but even with that - I would still be included in the first come first serve - since I ordered very early.
Yeah you have nothing to worry about. AT&T told me on the phone that orders processed after 4pm EST will have delayed shipping. That means we are safe

AT&T Premier Order Received
October 7, 2011 5:24 AM
Thank you for your purchase from the AT&T Premier Online Store. We're pleased with your choice of AT&T as your wireless service provider.
Your iPhone has been reserved and is expected to be delivered on Oct 14, 2011.
Yup, ordered around 430 on 10/7. Charge is pending on Amex, so I am somewhat confident i'll get mine on 10/14
My email says 14-21 days but the rep told me to ignore that because my order was processed at 1130 EST and now it shows my items are no longer back ordered

It probably has something to do with the size of the iPhone and the system update. HOPEFULLY LOL!

Everyone who preordered is in the same boat right now. If u ordered early enough, u will get on launch day. Doesn't matter if u ordered from apple, AT&T, sprint, or Verizon. the preorder units ALL go through apple. When all those units were sold, it was sold out. So ALL the people who ordered early enough, should have no problems getting on launch day. If u waited until Friday afternoon or evening, u may have some issues.
If ur status on AT&T says "processing" and shows ur 3 line items (phone, sim, and freight) as "backordered" u are fine. The only other option is "shipped" which it won't be until it goes out the door. If u call 1-866-391-0749 and enter ur order # and it says something like "ur order is being processed and is being sent to some warehouse for shipping" u are good to go.

Well through that number it says my order can't be found - when I check thru dialing 611 it says back ordered - so obviously the system is not cohesive.
Stupid automated system never worked for me either. It doesn't recognize my order number.
The first mistake was ordering through AT&T! I'd never trust them. Apple.com all the way!

I ordered through AT&T last year. Got it on launch day.
I don't expect this year to be any different.

Lol. It's about time someone pointed that out. I really don't understand why people think other people (who you really don't know) would care about what you own or don't own. If it's for bragging rights, congrats on being the epitome of consumer overspending, materialism, and greed of today's society.
As for my iPhone orders, my were placed in an AT&T store at 10:45am EST. All mine still say backordered. I'm not worried though because not only did my orders last year remain "backordered", but also remained "pending shipment", even after receiving my iPhone.

Mine finally changed from backordered to processing which I'm assuming is a good sign. I ordered around 11am EST Friday.
