When the product first became available to pre-order, the available inventory was depleted within HOURS and every subsequent order was placed on a backorder status with projected times of 14-21, sometimes 28 days later.. Why o' Why is this forum still on fire with people upset over not getting their phone yet? If your estimated delivery is 14-21 days, don't start questioning where your phone is or when it will ship- accept that it may take 21 days and WAIT!! If, on day 22, you don't have a phone, then start complaining and crying.. It should be no surprise to anyone with the intelligence enough to operate a smartphone that it is going to take time to get it.. It's all over the news, this forum is full of firsthand examples of people waiting for a phone- who in their right mind actually believes that their order will magically ship immediately? If you are told up to 21 days, then settle on the fact that it WILL take 21 days- if you get it earlier great, but if not then a 21 day delivery is no big deal. If you are that upset at AT&T for not having your phone, then switch providers. Oh wait a minute, I'm pretty sure Verizon is on a three to four week delay as well. Hmmm, MAYBE you could book a flight to China, walk into the Foxcomm factory and pick up a brand spanking new iPhone 5 in their gift shop!!! Then again, the cost to do that, might be a little higher than you'd like to spend.
Come on folks, RELAX A LITTLE !!!
Obviously you do not have a passion for the Iphone and are therefore unworthy to possess or use an Iphone and in addition should be banned from this forum 
Okay, not really. However, the people on this forum are obviously anxious to get their phone, and some of us (myself included) were told the phone would arrive in 10 days to two weeks by the ATT rep when we ordered only to be surprised by the follow-up email that says 21 business days (or longer if you take not of the asterisk). Also, if you did a little research you would find that numerous Apple stores have the phone in stock as does Radio Shack, yet ATT will not let you cancel the order and get it from another supplier. Finally, the wait time at Verizon is less than a week.
My advice **rdn** : RELAX A LITTLE!!!

seriously? i ordered a blk 32gig 9/27 and im still on back order
You cannot compare a 32GB model that you ordered to the 16GB model listed above. They are produced in different volumes and will come in stock at different times. That is controlled by Apple. I am going to guess that the 16GB model is more popular so more are going to be produced faster.
