Why is it taking so long for my iPhone 5 to arrive?

I ordered my iPhone 5 from the AT&T website as an upgrade on the 30th of September and I still haven't heard anything!

Here's a link to a forum where many people are having the same discussion:

I ordered my phone on 9/28/12 and it just went off backorder last night.

You should have received an email from AT&T giving you a link to check the status. If you didn't get that email, you should probably call and check on it.

Hope you get it soon!

Why are you asking us instead of AT&T?
