Sorry for the second comment but reading a few others I will say this. Its a really good idea to check to Apple website to see if the 3GS is in stock. AT&T gets their supply directly from Apple. Apple does not make a stockpile just for AT&T. Apple does not want to overproduce the 3GS like it did the 1st Gen iPhone so they are not making as many. So check with Apple and if it says they have them then order it their or thru AT&T

If you bought your new iPhone 3Gs from an AT&T retail store you can check the status of your order at https://www.wireless.att.com/orderstatus/orderstatus It will also give you a link to the FedEx tracking site. Its easy and very simple. Most phones ordered thru a retail store are taking about 3-5 days whereas if you order it thru apple its 6-12 days. Hope this helps!

Ordered mine on June 16th, got an email on 26th that they had a problem with my credit card and to call them. Well the premier site is closed on weekends..could not call till 29th. gave them the same card number and now it works ! HMMM..now my order says ordered on 29th, and now i get to wait for “7 to 14 days” …should have gone to the store and I would be enjoying my new iphone.

Ordered 2 phones at the AT&T store and they only shipped one! Turns out the sales guy ordered them under the same phone number and even though I have two lines on a family plan, AT&T canceled the second phone order. Now I have to wait another week

Get it right – it’s Apple that locked down the iPhone just as much as AT&T. You think that Apple didn’t try to get a HUGE hefty exclusivity deal? Don’t blame AT&T – Apple wouldn’t give up the money either and was most likely the one to shop the exclusivity in exchange for money.

I’m wondering that too…. I ordered my phone on the 22nd and my card has not been charged…. no update on the status page other than “In Progress”. If you ordered through AT&T after the launch date, how long did it take to receive the phone? Is it really 7-14 days? Closer to 7 days? Or closer to 14 days? I’m anxious to get my phone!!! Also, the guy at the store told me that each store was still getting in about 20 phones per day and they were using those to fulfill the preorders rather than selling them…. has anyone else heard that?

I ordered my phone last week, was told I would get it BY THE END of July! Wasn’t happy! But then the reciept said once it’s shipped I would be charged. Well my credit card was charged on the 22nd! Now I’m just waiting for the AT&T email. 4 days to ship it… I’m hoping the email comes soon!! Has anyone else ordered through AT&T and got charged but no email to pick it up!? We called yesterday and it wasn’t there yet. The waiting!! WHINE!
