Three are apparently buying out contracts of people that have been stung with 4G, 0800 calls or roaming costs. Their Twitter says that they're still getting the iPhone 6 pre-orders up soon, so might be worth calling some 0800's right now if you're with someone else and looking to upgrade for them to buy you out.

Yea, I'm apprehensive about the size but thickness is a factor as well. No way it's as thick as a Vita. I've put a Galaxy Note 2 in my pocket and while large it fit just fine.

Got a Plus 128GB Space Grey order that will take 2-3 weeks from launch day, that's fine with me. Also picked up this case:
Thanks to the suggestions in this topic.
I was pretty underwhelmed with the iPhone 6 at first, mainly because the Plus was the considerably more attractive proposition with the better battery life and I wasn't intending on getting a larger device. But I've since tried other people's Notes in my pocket and it felt good, so fuck it, why not get the device that offers a decent upgrade to the 5.

Yeah...and whenever there's an update I am always deleting stuff to allow the update to happen. Just thought I could get away with getting 16gb and then buying 20gb of iCloud storage.

That looks like what I am looking for, but it is 35 bucks. :/

Might have to go for this option as well. It is much more expensive than other brands, but that is apple for you.

It's the same thing that happened with the Gold iPhone 5S, demand was surprisingly high and despite everyone slagging it off, it sold out before other versions.
Oh yeah, my housemate is saying the same on her 16GB... And she only plays bloody Solitaire.

I'll grab a generic incipio polymer case. I don't like that the Apple case doesn't protext the bottom edge of the phone.
I ordered from apple store app (verizon) and the put a hold on my CC for the full amount

I might grab that white silicone case from Apple. Make my Silver iPhone look all white! Or I could go with red, and have a Mirror's Edge theme going.
This is what I'm used to using. I don't actually want the clip, and the stand broke off the back of the case long ago, but I like covering up the screen when I throw the phone in my bag.

Looks like there is one... but I don't want the clip.

I can't do 64gb anymore. 4 hour a day commute = Lots of music and movies and apps. I have 1.6gb left on my 64gb iPhone 5. Not to mention photos/video taken.
Yeah, if I had to get trains or anything where signal could be spotty, my 64GB SD card would be pretty damn full.
Holy hell. I'm bumping up on 16GB, but have most everything I want. I opted for 64GB, but can't imagine getting up to the limit there lol
Last night, I bought 2X these cheap cases $16 total, price seems to be increasing each time I look, to use until better ones come out. By the time my phones are shipped, they might already be.

Yeah as long as that's all it says I wouldn't worry. Mine had flagged up that message within a couple of hours of ordering it.Nope, mine just says "Processing Items Delivers: 9/19 by Standard Shipping." No red text.
I've had issues in the past where my credit card company blocks an order because they thought the card/number was stolen, but they had supposedly fixed that already. Just being a little paranoid I guess. I'll wait and see what happens.
16gb's gone the second I put my music directory on there. I got by okay with 32gb on my 5 year old iPod touch, but considering that's not an option here, 64gb it is. Will be nice having space for videos and suchlike too, especially as I'm intending to actually use the camera and want this to last 4-ish years ideally. 128gb definitely sounds like overkill though.
This is the AT&T link for the $200 trade in for the 4, 4s, and 5:

I have a gs4 (32gb + 64gb card) and am happy with it still. But I definitely want to hold a 6+ in a store and see how it feels. And learn about battery life.

Check this out:
Current ship dates for iPhone 6 Plus on ATT if you buy right now: 35-42 business days
My estimated ship date (I ordered at 3am): 10/31/2014 To 11/11/2014 (34-41 business days)
So basically I wasted my time at 3am?
Three have kinda finally got the iPhone 6 pre-orders up, you just can't at the moment. The 16GB versions appear in the listings though.
all £99 up front
£44 a month Plus and £38 for the small.
Nah, you gained a day on these peasants pre-ordering now. Also, I wouldn't be shocked if that's a placeholder on the next wave of stock. Some people pre-ordering now may get them even later.

Yeah, it's more expensive, but I can afford it. Rather pay the $35 and get a case I'll be happy with rather than $15 for a compromise I don't like the look of. $20 more over the lifetime of the phone isn't that big a deal for me.
Freedom = $1.05

that vita pic was what convinced me to go 6+. I can fit a vita into my pockets, although it's a bit tight. If the phone is both smaller and thinner then i can't see myself having any issues.

They give you a promo card? How would you apply the card to the already purchased iphone 6?
Damn, that is huge. Not sure how I could work out while carrying something that big./cdn3.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/693932/iphone6vita.0.JPG)

The phone is also significantly thinner than both devices.

So I ordered last night. haven't seen an confirmation email or anything but My Verizon says my phone is not longer eligible for an upgraded. How do I track my order? lulz
I got an email with a confirmation #.
I'll wait for context around this/confirmation from a lot of other places, but if true, damn that's a tiny bump.
Did you mean to post the link for all smartphones, which lists the iPhone 6 at 17th?
Vagina pocket, duh.
In the fine print it says that you will get the trade-in credit instantly if you go to the AT&T retail store. It's definitely a deal I'm going to check out to see if I'm eligible with my grandfathered unlimited plan. I have an old 4 and a 4s laying around.

Got a 6 64GB for my wife.
Got a 6+ 64GB for me.
Both from Verizon. The 6 is coming on the 19th, the 6+ is coming on Oct 14, but I can wait. Pretty exciting!

I think he was showing how tiny of a bump it was from the 5S to the 6. But like I said, probably best waiting for more confirmation from other sites.

It might take a while. I ordered with At&t and didn't get mine till a couple hours ago. if you wrote down the order number you can call and check on the progress. Also I think they can track the order by the cell phone number used to upgrade.

They probably made nowhere near as many of them as the regular 6s.
The 6S isn't coming out until next year, though. Haha.
Apple really made it difficult to pluralize these damn phones now.

What am I looking at again?
It doesn't, I don't think. You might as well go through Amazon if you don't mind Amazon credit, they're offering $211.50 for a 16GB iPhone 5 AT&T in "good condition" and if they inspect and upgrade to "like new", you'll get $232.40. Locked 16GB iPhone 5 seem to be going for between $225-$250 on eBay so you actually work out slightly better thru Amazon once you take into account the seller fee.
