Yes. Mine still says processing. Since Saturday... What's your model and did you use a premiere-ticket?

Black 64GB and yes, I did use a premium ticket. But the whole thing was such a hassle. I went to the T-Mobile store on the 7th with the premium ticket in my hand, signed everything and then they told me that their system went down and I should call them again. Called them three times, nobody knew what was going on and yesterday I went there again. They somehow completely missed my order, told me that I might get it not until February, I was close to tears and a meltdown.
They somehow fixed all their shit, ordered the iPhone yesterday (instead of the 7th) and here I am, sitting in front of my Mac and hitting F5 constantly as we speak.

I gotta line up.

but i can't wait!

hhhnnnggg

 

[Number45]

Just called Three to see when I can expect delivery. Doesn't sound like they're planning on getting any delivered tomorrow (I mean why would they, it's only launch day right?) so I can expect it on Saturday.

Suits me to be honest. Delivery tomorrow would have been missed and I would have had to pick it up from the local collection point on Saturday anyway.

Mine has been "Order Processed: Ready for UPS" since yesterday morning. It's shipping via 2 Day Air. Should I not get my hopes up for getting it tomorrow?

Siri vs. My Human Assistant

Sprint hasn't updated my tracking number to say anything, but they also noted that it wouldn't be updated until the 14th. If you bought it launch day, and live in the US, I don't think there is any reason you shouldn't have yours by the end of the day tomorrow

 

[kingocfs]

To all my fellow Sprintonians - the tracking number has updated. End of day tomorrow!

Apple: We’re Gonna Need a Bigger iPhone Order

As Brian White of Ticonderoga Securities observed earlier this week, “While the unveiling of the iPhone 4S received a muted response, both from the market and tech blogs, the customers have the final word, in our view, and they have spoken with resounding enthusiasm for the iPhone 4S.”

Mine too. Out of Louisville.

 

[cvxfreak]

Got a phone call from AU (the new CDMA carrier in Japan) saying that I could get my phone tomorrow beginning at 8AM. That's about 10.5 hours from now!

 

[Double D]

Guess I should prep my PC/iTunes tonight. It's been a long time since I used iTunes, so hopefully the updating process and all that shouldn't take too long. I have to say, one thing I'll miss about the old Droid is the ability to plug it into any PC and just drag music or whatever into it. Not exactly sure what 'wireless syncing' even entails at this point, so hopefully this will all be a positive change.

 

[Glorious Ownage]

Since AT&T messed up and took weeks to reset my upgrade eligibility I was unable to pre order. I'm going to be lining up at my local apple store. Going for a 32Gb White. Any idea how early I should show up?

But Australia is entirely GSM/UMTS...

 

[Cheesemeister]

But Australia is entirely GSM/UMTS...

AU in Japan evokes the verb "au", to meet.

More importantly, AU has Nakama Yukie as a spokesmodel.

It was only tepid because the presenter was uninspired. A better, public presentation of Siri (the most exciting feature for consumers) would have changed the mood. As it is, the feature is starting to sell itself on blogs and tech sites...but it shouldn't have come to that.

All good though. Good sales are very good.

My package departed hong kong last night. Next stop North America? Still says it's on time.

 

[Karud]

Dammit finally.

Shipping.

If it says it's on time, you have nothing to worry about.

Personally, I would settle for an update of any kind from UPS right now. Like others, I've had the shipping label message for over 24 hours.

 

[btkadams]

do businesses (like a cell phone store) get stuff on the weekends, or will i still have to wait until next week if the delivery doesnt make it by tomorrow? lol

my local at&t store (actual corporate shop, not one of the authorized retailers) is getting it friday morning. i'll be in line. i really hope there aren't a lot of other people there.

yeah, i ordered from a 3rd party store that is licensed for telus, so i'm wondering if they have the integration with telus to have gotten them for launch day. oh well.

 

[Number45]

Has anyone mentioned whether the headphones that come with the 4S are different than currently? If not I'll probably buy some of the Apple in-ear ones - I'm a fan of the durability of the original ones, but not the sound quality.

 

[oddworld18]

Good luck with that.

i know, right? i'm hoping that the fact that there are 4 huge apple stores in manhattan will take some of the heat off. also, i'm convinced nobody wants to be in downtown brooklyn at 7am.

Judging from the fact that Apple has pre-sold more iPhone 4S's than any other version of the phone, I think it is safe to say that there will probably be crowds at every store. Hopefully yours won't be as bad as some of the others, but if it is anything like the 4 launch last year, it's going to be crazy.

 

[RaidenZR]

My Sprint tracking number is now showing signs of life. It was in Kentucky at 9:30 AM and is expected end of day Friday.

how was the 4 launch at non-apple stores last year? anyone have anecdotes?

should i just throw in the towel and wait a few weeks?

 

[Cathcart]

GUYS MY IPHONE SHIPPED BUT THE TRACKING PAGE SAYS THE SHIPPING WEIGHT IS 1.0 LBS WHAT DO YOU GUYS HAVE I THOUGHT THE IPHONE WAS GONNA WEIGH MORE I'M NEVER BUYING FROM AT&T AGAIN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Oh, sorry, thought this was Macrumors...

 

[iNvid02]

shipped today, but UPS still say only a label has been created for them.

the apple email said you'll get it on or before 14th but i dunno, leaving it kinda late i think

 

[Jugendstil]

Got my tracking info from Verizon yesterday. It's in Tennessee, on its way to me in Chicago. It says Friday, but I am irrationally hoping I'll get it today. Of course the bumper and dock I ordered from Monoprice came first thing this morning. SALT ON THE WOUND

Hey guys my cousin is asking if he jailbreaks his iphone and tether it, will AT&T charge him extra money?

Is yours coming via UPS or USPS? Cause I called the Verizon rep and she said that my order is expected to SHIP on 10-14-11 with an estimated ARRIVAL date of 10-18-11!!!

I'm not happy with this because she said that the carrier would be USPS!

Really, cause I would love it if USPS would leave my package at my doorstep without knocking so that anyone walking by could have TWO new iPhones...

 

[Auron_Kale]

Checked on my order, it's officially stateside and on its way from Louisville to California. Should easily be in San Francisco in the wee hours of the morning and in my hands probably around 1pm or so.

Meanwhile, iOS 5 is sweet. First thing I did was set custom tones so my texts are the codec alerts once more.

Probably. Also, there's a jailbreak thread for this kind of thing.

 

[Chinner]

i suppose the chances of me strolling into the store and getting a phone are quite slim then? or should i just pre-order online innit?

 

[pxleyes]

WOOHOO!!! My Sprint order has finally been updated on UPS. Hello there, Louisville, KY.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

You'll be able to get one, provided you're there early enough. Lines are likely to be quite long once again.

Neither, it's being sent via FedEx.

Fuck you Rogers.

White 64GB queue: 13XX. Absolutely no info other than a stupid number.

Now if they would only deliver it before I had to go to work at 3pm.

Yeah, no one knows whats going on with Rogers. Seems every where else they have it together, but here? Nope.

 

[kevo_huevo]

yeeeee! got my shipping notice from at&t / UPS.

Scheduled delivery 10/14/2011 by 3pm.
IN TRANSIT, ON TIME.

let's go!

 

[SonnyBoy]

I'm considering calling UPS tonight, having them hold my package at their facility so that I can go pick it up myself. I'd much rather drive 30 min out of my way than to have to wait 5 hours for the driver to make his rounds.
