Explanation of AT&T Order Status

[BeerLover!]

Whats up guys?! This is my first post but I have been lurking for a while now. I figured I would join the rest of you whom are suffering from iPhone 4 OCD.

I found this on another site but it gives a good explanation of the AT&T order status.

Check it:

im not worried about the back ordered part and I wouldn't be if I were you.
I would worry if you have the RED EXCLAMATION OF DEATH (REOD).....

ATT premier "Processing" same as ATT store "In Progress"?

What's IN PROGRESS w/ no flag or anything?

in progress with no flag (according to the explanation) means your phone should make the launch but it has not as of yet been paired in the AT&T system with a serial#. Therefore, it is considered B/O.
From what I have read, apple ships AT&T the phones as needed, then they match the serial# to your account, moving the order as ready for shipment in AT&T internal system.
Once its ready, the iphone is allocated to your account and its moved from the back order status.
