After what has been termed the worst meltdown in AT&T order processing, the latest version of the iPhone is now being shipped to those lucky individuals who were able to break through the barriers of numerous page load errors, server overloads, and interrupted payment processing.
I am happy to note that I am one of those lucky individuals. I took the opportunity at work to put aside my workload and focus on something more important...getting my hands on a device that will surely redefine the category once again.
After anxiously waiting for confirmation of my purchase I was eventually sent an "order received" email. Included was a link taking me to the order status page. For serveral days my status had not changed showing an "In Process" status. I figured this would happen since no one actually gets their device until the 24th of June.
I started to read forums and news articles about iPhone 4 shipping details and I became caught up in the news of hearing stories of occasional canceled orders despite a successful order confirmation and I feared the worse. Forum members all over were sharing their stories hoping to shed some kind of light on how the process of filling the orders were going to happen.
Many who showed a purchase date of the 15th were processed first. Followed by subsequent order dates (16th, 17th, etc.) Even though all of us who got through made their purchase on the 15th, AT&T is handling the shipping notices in waves and not all at once. My order date showed up as the 16th and my shipment was status was changed the day after those who showed the 15th.
