That biznatch finally shipped! Will have by tomorrow at 3pm! Thanks, BuyOwner!
And then I knew you were from Tampa.
And since I'm probably the only person on this thread here from Tampa too, I'll give you a laugh.
Ordered a white iphone today at the AT&T store on Concord Pike in Wilmington, DE. The person who sold it to me said they were typically arriving within a week. I will let you all know!
Now my order that i placed yesterday at 5:30 pm, according to AT&T's order status site says that my phone is no longer back ordered, but not yet shipped. however the "freight" still says it's back ordered. anyone else have the same experience?
Mine said that when I first checked on the day I ordered it (7/18) and then switched back. It switched back the next day and was like that until today. Don't get your hopes up, when I checked after midnight last night I was 130th in line. Unless everyone in front of me ordered a different phone, mine won't be shipping anytime soon.
In other words, the status means nothing until there's a tracking number. That's been the consensus on the larger thread for this same issue.
Whenever shipments of your particular arrive in the warehouse, the 0 will show up. Right now everyone in the U.S. who has a 16GB black on DF is seeing the 0. I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Sorry guys, should have posted this a while ago. I ordered a Black 16gb iPhone on 7/11 at 12pm at the Lutherville, MD AT&T store. It arrived 7/18, and I picked it up that afternoon.
Note: porting your number if you are at a store outside your area code is bad news. Took 2 hours, but at least I have the phone.

But they did it, right? This is my biggest concern. They've assured me that they can port my OH number here in the SoCal AT&T store, but I'm still worried about it, because it was hard to get straight answers.
I've had the same number through three states and 11 years, but always with Verizon, so, even though they didn't like it, they did it. This time, I'll be dealing with a whole new company. If they can't do it, I'll have to refuse the phone.
Just an update to the above -- my phone shipped at 11:12 a.m. today from Ft. Worth (I ordered it Wednesday evening). FedEx says it will be in by Monday at 3 p.m. I was hoping for tomorrow when I saw that it shipped today, but I guess I can't complain!
I called the AT&T store I order my phones from and they told me they are receiving Saturday shipments so I'm guessing other stores are doing the same.
I ordered this Wednesday morning, and picked up my white iPhone this afternoon. This is my first post with it, and I'm already loving it!
I picked the white since I knew it was coming faster than the others, and I made the right choice for me.

It will work only if your billing address is in the area code of the number you're porting.
I got it last night! Love it!
So, in summary, my 16 GB white iPhone was ordered on the evening of Wednesday, July 23. It arrived at my store in Wilmington, DE on the morning of Monday, July 28. Not bad!
OK, so since i last posted (i know u were feverishly waiting), i canceled the black and ordered a white, on Monday the 28th. i wanted the phone sooner and i thought that the white was definitely unique. if i want it to look black, i can get a case. no white case i've seen has the look of the phone itself. sure there's no black case like the phone, but the white also shows less scratches (but more dirt in the crevices).
after ordering it monday afternoon, i got an email with tracking number. They upgraded the shipping to overnight. so it shipped FedEx at 3:41 this past evening (the 30th). it is due in to my store before 3pm!! too bad i work til 6, but the store's open til 7. i WILL NOT be staying late at work no matter what!! (well, i can't say that. i'm a nurse and may have to. i have 7 days to pick the phone up.)
I can't wait though
that's not true. i am buying mine in a different city (different area code). They told me it would be not problem at all. Granted, the places are only 90 minutes apart.
