iPhone4S Shipment Status: Backordered!

Wonder what my chances are of going Saturday to Verizon and getting a 64GB iphone 4s. [I work Friday, get paid saturday the 15th]

got this
 
everyone seems to be no longer on backorder, but I still am. I ordered at 6:30 in the morning on the 7th, so I should be good. My only concern is that when I check my order status is says that the date ordered is october 8th not 7th. Do you think that somehow my ordered wasn't processed until the next day, and they made me miss out on getting in on launch and now have to wait 2 more weeks?

My ATT.com status says I ordered on Oct 9th but premier still shows as Oct 7th. I am also on backordered.
 
Premier and myatt both show my order date as the 7th, but I am still on backorder on myatt (pre-order on premier)

No worries here, apparently the same thing happened last year and everyone still got their phones on time
 
I have two orders:

One for a 16GB 4S and it has updated to processing from backordered.

The second is for a 64gb 4S and it is still saying backordered.

I think there is something to the theory that they are preparing shipments by capacity/model.
 
Im a little worried since i ordered mine at 2:00pm pst on friday and still says backordered, however i have had my account charged, and i have gotten an email that says my order is being prepared for shipment or sent to the warehouse preparing for shipment. i really dont feel like waiting into november with this stupid iphone 3g and ofcourse the excitement. can someone help me determine when im getting my phone?!

What in the world are you worried about? You are good. Expect it on the 14th.

guess im getting mine late.

I ordered about 3AM from ATT and I show backordered in the column. I've received no email saying anything about prepared for shipping etc.

The most recent email said this:

"Thank you for your recent order. Your iPhone will ship in approximately 14 to 21 days*. All orders are processed on a first come, first served basis"

And my order status looks like this when I log in through ATT

I'm assuming if it says back-ordered then it will arrive on the 14th, but if it still says processing there will be 14-21d time frame.

reading from other post AT&T of last year's launch. They have a small stock pile of phones for initial orders that will arrive on launch date. The remaining orders will be fulfilled directly from the manufacturer in china hence the 14-21d time frame to ship.

then again, some of last year's customers with 14-21d estimation got theirs on launch date too, but not everyone. All depends on how fast apple and roll out shipment
 
Everyone will know is just another day or so when they get (or not get) tracking numbers and start moving from China!

Just a day or two to go.
 
Just called ATT Premiere order line 866-499-8008 to check my order and noticed the automated message says new orders now will ship in 21-28 days.
 
nothing

I ordered on the phone, 07:00 on friday, 611. No problems at all, at least they had no problem charging me. I got the T&C email, but now nothing.

can't check online
can't get help with order support over the phone
can't use the automated services number

I'm now on hold with something called DRMD (which doesn't ever say it is AT*T), but I'm not very optimistic at this point.
 
ordered 2 iphones 4s 10-7 330am

Ok so i stayed up Ordered a white 32 and black 16 thru att. I had to call since their site was crashed. I have received the terms and conditions email also order conf email. however when i try and track my status it can not find my order . thru the phone or website. I call and the find my order right away. should i be worried ? I ordered both phone by 330 am
 
I've still only received one e-mail from ATT; ordered my 16GB around 11am EST on Friday. The e-mail says my order is expected to be delivered on the 14th. The order status page showed it as backordered until yesterday when it went to processing. There's a hold on my card for the amount of the phone but I'll probably have to wait until 5ish to see if it finally moves from pending to processed. Here's hoping I get the phone on release day.
