Well, let's see what happens with this. Ordered my husband's 128 7 in Black at 1:51a Central time. Got Sept 16th shipping on that one. Ordered my 128 7 in Jet Black at 1:55a Central and got Oct 13-20th shipping. Refreshed Apple Store App - got in and saw 128 7 in Jet Black with Sept 16th date - so I ordered that as a paid in full phone on my line. So, technically, I have two phones ordered on my line - one with Next every Year through ATT and one paid in full through Apple. Apple told me I could order it even though I had a $99.00 balance on my Next account (which is from the down payment I put on my Next every year plan) so I'm hoping one doesn't get cancelled on me.
If my Apple one goes prepared for shipping and my ATT still shows that date, I'll just cancel my ATT pre-order and open a spot in the queue.
