FWIW. I ordered through AT&T website two phones:
First was my wifes 16GB gold 6. Ordered at 3:04 EST 9/12. Status is "preparing for shipment" however the *estimated ship date changed for 9/17-9/18 to
9/23-10/1. WTF
Second was my space gray 16GB 6. Ordered at 3:17 EST 9/12 Staus is also "preparing for shipment"..estimated ship date changed from 9/17-9/18 to
10/23-10/31..double WTF.
We both received the text "congratulations, your order has been processed. we will notify you when your item has shipped".
The charges are now pending for the amounts of the phones. My plan is to just wait it out, if shipping dates havent adjusted by Thursday night...who knows.
