Hi all, I'm a little late posting but I had to register :). I've read this bad boy thread from the day it started and it's been a fun ride.

I ordered two 16gb black ip4s' from AT&T's online ordering system at 10am (EST) the morning of the 7th. I got AT&T's order confirmation email immediately, and another "processing" email the next day. Everything so far with AT&T's order process has been similar to what every other AT&T user has described (except I never got a "backordered" message). Up until yesterday the 12th, my status was "pending shipment," but around 3:00pm I got a FedEx tracking number email from AT&T....I have to say that I was sweating it a little after having lurked in this thread for so long!!! :) Nonetheless, I got the tracking number and it came online this morning. The place of origin on the package was Ft. Worth TX, so everybody that guessed AT&T pre-orders would be coming from TX was right!!! I'm scheduled for deliver "no later than 3pm" tomorrow (the 14th).

Only really one screwy thing that I noticed with the process. Once I got my tracking email from AT&T my order status on AT&T's website showed that both the phones shipped on the 8th...that's if I logged onto the site as normal. If I logged onto the site through the "order status" option, it said the phones shipped on the 9th...then, FedEx's tracking said one more different date at 10/13. Nothing to troubling...but before the FedEx info came online I was hoping against hope that the phones shipped on 10/8 or 10/9 and would get here early!!! No dice!!! LOL!!! Either way, if I hadn't been feinding for the 4s the whole time this would have been a flawless order from ATt&T. I did have a couple issues with keeping the grandfathered unlimited data plan, but in the end I was able to order the "unlimited data for iPhone 4s" online with my pre-order so everything has gone stellar at this point.

So far I'm on track with delivery tomorrow here in Ohio "no later than 3." The phones departed Indianapollis at 7:01pm (EST) this evening. I can't even freaking stand it!!!!!!!! LOL!!!
 
I love how my phone is just taking it's time compared. It just left Anchorage this morning. From moose hunting no doubt.....
 
I thought I was trucking it straight to Atlanta from Kentucky, but my package stopped for burger and fries in Knoxville, Tenn. at 7:23pm EST, which makes perfect sense. I'd forgotten my iPad 2 stopped there, too, before finally heading to Atlanta.

Looks like we are on the same shipment...I was expecting it to be in ATL by now but I guess Knoxville is a good stop before the ride in to Atlanta tonight.

It didn't stay in Knoxville, Tennessee too long either. On its final leg to Atlanta no doubt.

I assumed this was leaving on flight 2804 to Denver that left at that time but that flight landed about 4 hours ago though.

I just now got this scan:
Hodgkins, IN, United States 10/13/2011 8:32 P.M. Arrival Scan

Are they're driving it????? That's not even in the right direction!! I've done that drive and it's 18 hours in a car! Unless they now fly it out of Chicago it ain't gonna be here by 7pm tomorrow! :eek::(:eek::(

No flights from the Chicago area at that time. Guess they're trying to drive it here.
Why in the world would the drive it when one of their own planes left Louisville at the same time???

Mine's stuck in Indy. From there it will go to Hodgkins, IL, then to my local branch. The suspense is killing me.

Ours must be hanging out together... maybe Indy has a good bar?? Hope they didn't get sidetracked in Hudson news looking at the toy planes and missed their flight. :D

DERP! I must be getting delirious.... mine left Indy at 4:39 PM but I don't know what happened to it since then!!
