At least from ATT that is. I'd rather wake up early/not go to sleep and face the hordes rather than have this level of uncertainty with ATT and these ignorant Fed Ex tracking numbers.
Got a tip for us?

I have learned from my 3G preorder. Pre order from ATT = Failed (but not all.) To be sure, get it from Apple. Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
Just go Hulk Face Smash some old lady in an AT&T store. It will make you feel LOADS better, trust me!
Im one of the people who ordered from an AT&T site. Literally the first person on the 15th and i have this bogus tracking number and no shipping e-mail confirmation.
I just trust Apple waaaay more. It makes sense...preorder an apple product from apple. AT&T is just a glorified middleman.
you have a tracking number and are complaining? You dont deserve a phone.
Maybe yours will ship defective and then you can blame someone in china. Don't be ungrateful.
Seriously. SO many would love to be in your shoes w/ a tracking number. Shut up.
Trust ? HA!
I ordered on the 15th and received an email at 3AM that my order was cancelled. AFTER Apple took $199 from my credit card.
I've always been happy with AT&T so far, they kind of pissed me off today. The store called me saying not to come in till they notify me my preorder is in. Then I called back to ask if the are selling any without preorders, they said yes. They should meet all preorders before selling any over the counter. Just my two cents worth.
LITERALLY the first person?
Have you called AT&T? I'd make sure everything is cool with my order before throwing them under the bus.
How is the tracking number bogus?
The only email AT&T sent me was on June 15th at 9:27 AM saying thanks for the order.. but last night my order went off back order, this morning I saw a tracking number that didn't work at first, and now it works.
If you see a tracking number you're going to get your phone. I guarantee it.*
(* Guarantee limited to "oh that sucks" if phone does not arrive by 6/24; Cannot be used for monetary gain.)
my ATT preorder is going fine. besides the delays the day i ordered i got an email today with my tracking number and everything it says my phone will be delivered tomorrow
Well thinking same I ordered from apple and did they **** it up! Now situation is you have to wait at least 30 mins to talk to apple customer support vs max 4 mins at AT&T
Plus apple blames on AT&T and AT&T says they have no visibility on apple orders - if I had ordered from AT&T she could have looked up all together in one view
You fool, whats the point of having a tracking number if i potentially won't get it until after retail release based upon the fact it (the tracking #) leads to nothing. Hell, I waited outside two years ago to get my 3G and would do it again had i of known I might be late getting it.
Apple's site was slammed on the 15th around 6am EST... nothing but OOPS.
I ordered two from AT&Ts site at 6:08am and 6:15am. Got my shipping confirmation yesterday and FedEx tracking today. Both phone tracking infos say Estimated delivery Jun 23, 2010 by 3:00 PM.
That doesn't sound like AT&T sucks to me.
dont know why this guy is crying...i ordered from at&ts site at 7am central time cause apples was down at the time. i got through without a single problem. got my tracking number last night. updated this morning says it will be here tomorrow by 3pm.
-happy customer!

Firstly im not crying, You want a cookie for having a working tracking number? My whole reasoning is i don't have a working tracking number Sherlock.
I tried buying my iPhone 3G two years ago from an AT&T store, after waiting in line for 4 hours and getting to the front of the line, they then decide to tell us they sold out of the model I wanted. Promised myself I would never buy an iPhone from an AT&T. You made the right decision.
I dont think I will ever preorder another Apple product. I was let down by Radio Shack, Apple servers took a crap, ATT servers took a crap, and now my 2 reservations at Best Buy are not looking good.
Im really debating to give Apple/ATT the finger and switch over to the EVO after all this mess. No one has a clue waht is going on...

My AT&T invoice said shipping by "FedEx OVERNIGHT." The email I received from AT&T this morning with the tracking number said:
Putting those two things together suggests that AT&T is holding the phone in the warehouse until tomorrow (6/23), then shipping it via overnight service.
Why would they do that? Because it ensures that nobody will get it a day early.
