Just received theis email from at&t anyone get the same email? Maybe I'm gonna get it even later now?


"Dear Customer,

Thank you for your recent purchase on the AT&T Premier Online Store. We are pleased that you chose AT&T as your wireless service provider.

Unfortunately, items in your order are out of stock and are backordered. We will ship them as soon as they are available, and notify you of the shipment by email. We will ship multiple backordered items when all items are in stock.

If your order remains out of stock or backordered for 30 days, your order will be automatically canceled.

You can view the status of your order on AT&T Premier Online Store at any time.

Thank you,

The AT&T Premier Team"

actually i spoked to at&t and they told me not to count on the march 6th release date. that it may get pushed back. idk why, but thats what they told me today over the phone when they called to ask about my experience with the inspire i just bought

interesting. probably just to make you feel better about buying the Inspire ;-)

I got the same e-mail and I am Premier as well. Has anyone else already been charged for the phone? I thought it wasn't supposed to charge until it shipped.... Also when I pre-ordered the phone it got rid of my data package completely and my iPhone said "cannot connect bc you are not subscribed to a data plan" Called in and got my unlimited back but man...talk about your glitches haha

There is nothing to worry about. Same thing happened when the iPhone was pre-ordered through premier. People got emails saying the iPhone 4 was backordered but in fact everyone in premier pretty much got theirs the day before the iPhone 4 even came out. It just says back order because it's a pre-order and they don't have an inventory count for the premier orders but they'll have more than enough.

I didn't get a back order email but if you go to AT&T website the to order status you'll see what you ordered and it being back ordered.

It is not showing back-ordered

I think we will be rewarded early shipments for pre-ordering early enough. FWIW I was told by my business rep that we should start seeing it by the end of Feb. or 1st week in March.

Since I am flying out of country on 5th March for 2 weeks I want it badly before than.
This wait is killing me.
I hope as in case of T-Mobile G2 we should start seeing this earlier than the announced date.
I hope March 1st which was the first rumored launch date becomes true!!
