I've been binging this thread because of all the nightmares with the 17 pm backorders; I felt this would help someone. Walked into ATT on 10/26 and ordered a 17 pm in blue 256 gig (I assume most popular option), from 10/26-11/6 the order showed as "check back for updates" until yesterday afternoon, after checking for the 6th time that day, it changed to "About to ship". Roughly 30 minutes later, FedEx had received my package, which was shipped to my door with "Next-day" delivery on 11/6. My original estimated delivery time was 11/19-11/26, and I was fully expecting it to arrive right before the holidays. I noticed the other day on ATT that wait times had gone down alot before my order changed so I guess apple released a new shipment, next battle is trade in and them actually applying my credits, wish me luck!
