If you are or were on a Direct Fulfillment list. What make model did you order
 
Ordered Friday around 11 AM EST.
Ordered 8GB Black.
Status is currently back-ordered.
 
Ordered Friday 10:17 am EST
16gb Black
Backordered

AT&T has no more phones they are taking peoples money for items they do not have.
 
Here's a rundown of my wait which may help to ease the stress of others

Friday 1PM ET: Ordered Black 16GB on DF
Friday 5:30PM: Order Confirmation email arrived status on AT&T said FRT 1 backorder and phone no backorder
Saturday 5:59AM: Out of Stock/Backordered email and online status had both FRT and phone backordered
I did not check my status as frequently as it seems that some did but the phone backorder status did change 2 times that I noticed throughout Saturday and Sunday.
Monday: Online Status was backordered for both most of day
Monday 9PM: last time I checked and both were backordered.
Tuesday 9AM: Checked status and it was shipped.
Tracking number indicates that it left warehouse around 6:30PM last night and will arrive at my local store by 3pm today.
The point is that the online tracking is not really that up to date with your actual status. If it says backordered it may already be shipped.

BTW, I still have not received any shipping notification email.

That's a cool app. What did you write it in?

Its written in Asp.net C#... Did some basic screen scraping with REGEX expressions... its not 100% accurate, but pretty damn close. :)

If you give me your zip code of your store, and your order ID I can look up your area. :) (PM me if you don't want it public)
 
Julie,

Just did a query in your area, and here's what I found:

Ordered: 163
Shipped: 18
Backordered: 144

I have been checking the order status website and there seems to be no pattern to what has shipped or has been backordered at the AT&T store I went to. Could you run your query for my area? It would be greatly appreciated. My order number is 58 and the zip is 53217. Thanks!
