I'm hoping a local carrier store has some/any. I really don't want to wait until October because I'm impatient and the deadly sin that affects me the most is greed.

My issue did turn out to be just a missed scan, and my phone left Louisville last night.

However it only got out of customs at 8:30, which is a little tight for delivery today since it still has another stop before it goes on a truck.

This is true. Trucks go out hella early.

Anyone with an October ship date get any good news?

Preparing essentially means it's shipped already but it's in China.

I really don't want to wait for someone to say their Jet Black phone will look gorgeous with scratches later in its life because their leather case aged so well.

Congrats, man! I'm about to take a nap and hope that my order finally moves from Processing to Preparing for Shipment just so I can finally put an end to this horrible saga of my life.

I don't think you can choose. It's the address on the carrier account.

Apparently some people with October ship dates are getting Preparing for Shipment notices. However, I am not one of those people.

Yeah, Processing, Preparing for Shipment, Shipped, Delivered.

Preparing for Shipment essentially means it has already shipped though and that it's simply making its way through and out of China. Shipped means it's probably in either Kentucky or Texas.

I ordered at 3:23EST (23 minutes after preorders went live) and I'm still processing. Maybe I'll get something later this evening.

I'm not sure if you guys are even loving with me or not, but this is making me so sad. I have a shitburger 5C to lug around and I have to make sure these women don't think I'm a poor almost Android phone haver. I just want my big phone and I want women to know my stature without having to say anything. Seeing "Processing" is pissing my grapes.

Well that's why. There is no shortage at all on normal 7s.

Jul 30, 2007

Yes to both. The Plus is usually less popular, but this year it's exceedingly more popular. That's why you'll have no problem buying a normal 7, but you'll have to have some luck finding a Plus.

I'm hoping mine goes to PFS soon. People with my arrival window (Oct 4 - 10) had theirs moved up, so I must be in either the second half of that or whatever tail end comes after it.

Honestly, the thing that irks me is that I preordered the phone. Like, I preordered the phone a week ahead of time and there are daily shipments going in and out of Apple stores of the same configuration I preordered. It's about a week since release, two weeks since I preordered, and I'm still on "processing". There are phones that are the same as the one I'm getting on their way to local Apple stores nationwide and mine has yet to be put in a box somewhere in loving China.

I kinda got my poo poo figured out. I managed to reserve the phone, but FAQ is very unclear on whether or not I can pick it up and use AT&T Next to buy it. It says what the price would be under the iPhone Upgrade Program, but I very much just want to upgrade a line on my plan and not go through Apple for an assortment of personal reasons.

Can I just go get my reservation and say "I want to pay for this using AT&T Next and not the iPhone Upgrade Program"?

No I went online and used the link. Didn't see any options at all.

At this point, I don't know why people aren't canceling and just reserving at their local Apple Store.

lol what carrier financing? They don't do that poo poo anymore. I don't even know why Apple needed all my Verizon info to even try to take my order or what upgrade eligibility has to do with anything in a world of full price phones.

Should go: I want a CDMA phone. Don't have it now? Ok give me a date when I can pick it up.

AT&T Next, Verizon Edge, and T-Mobile JUMP. they don't do JUMP in store but they definitely still do the other two.
