I order an iPhone 3G last week at the AT&T store near work.  There was a url on my receipt I was told I could use to check the status of my order.  The web form at the url has three required fields one of them being zip code.  It took me a little while to figure out that I had to put in the AT&T store’s zip code instead of my own which makes no sense to me at all.

So I have been checking on my order at least once a day since I ordered the phone.  This morning when I checked on my order the QTY Back-Ordered column read 0 instead of one.  I thought maybe they had received a shipment of phones and mine was being processed. However when I checked on my order this afternoon the QTY Back-Ordered read 1 again.  AT&T and Apple have really dropped the ball on this one and I am not pleased at all.
