3. Again, for emphasis, why in the h-e-double-L would I buy it from AT&T instead of Apple unless I had some funky account or FAN discount that Apple couldn't help me with. I have no problems with my AT&T service, but I despise the store and the people who work there, at least in my neck of the woods. They never know anything and they smell like Cheetos.

What's wrong with Cheetos?
 
I ordered my 16GB black on June 10th at 5pm through the premier site. I am in Houston Tx and still showing as backordered on the Att system.
 
ATT Premier = Backordered?

It looks like anyone who preordered through AT&T Premier is sitting on the backordered status. (Myself included) Has anyone had better luck with Premier?
 
I still wonder, what is the value of all phones being available on the same day, as opposed to just letting them all get where they're going asap?
 
You still have to deal with the AT&T store, which I'd rather avoid.

I sware every time I leave the store I'm signed up for two new things that aren't even correct.

When we switched over to a family plan a month ago, I come home to look at my account to see that each phone is on its own family plan with its own family texting package.

:rolleyes:

Plus it also says:
Ships: Jun 19
Delivers: Jun 24

But I did receive the e-mail from Apple! and I can trust in their words... hopefully..:)
 
Let's see, about 3 reasons.

1. Why would I get in the car and go to an AT&T store, talk to a guy who probably didn't even know they released a new iPhone that morning, and continually tell him I was here to preorder something he didn't even know existed while he tried to sell me some POS LG Envy 2xq637we II for $39 with a $400 mail in rebate. It was easier to sit in my underwear and use the internet to order my phone.

2. Why would I want to, again, get in my car on the 19th and go to the AT&T store to stand in a preorder line, when I can just wait on Fedex to bring it to me?

3. Again, for emphasis, why in the h-e-double-L would I buy it from AT&T instead of Apple unless I had some funky account or FAN discount that Apple couldn't help me with. I have no problems with my AT&T service, but I despise the store and the people who work there, at least in my neck of the woods. They never know anything and they smell like Cheetos.

LMAO! +1
Couldn't have said it any better. I got asked why I wasn't going to wait in line this year, I used the same 3!

Nope. Backordered too. Also still says 'order processing' on the Premier order status site too. Kinda weird.

Yup...I have the exact same thing.

The same thing happened to me, I ordered my 32GB iPhone on the same date at about 1:18 PM PDT, I trust in Apple but I am about to make a call so I can feel better, LOL.

I ordered mine only 2 days ago and it first said "Prepared for shipment" yesterday. I think it means they've taken a 3GS box, put your name on it, and sat it on a big table somewhere and once they are released they are going to mass deliver them all out.

Exactly what mine says except mine was ordered at 12:30 PM PDT. I did get the email about the 19th as well so at least we have something to keep our spirits high lol.
