Item: Apple iPhone 6 - Silver - 64GB
Status: Awaiting more iPhone shipments from Apple. Expected ship date on or before 10/27/2014
Currently using Galaxy S phone (1st generation) with 3G speeds, crappy screen, and laggy operating system. Gosh I can't wait until my phone is shipped. Hurry! Hurry! (Peyton Manning)

Ummm...because most people don't have that kind of cash to throw down all at once
So you put the phone on a credit card - you're either paying interest to T-Mobile or to the bank - what difference does it make? And it gets around the credit check every three days issue.
T-Mobile does not charge anything to spread the payments out over 2 years..your down payment is based on your credit score, the lower the score, the higher your down payment is, but it all goes towards the phone, none of it goes in T-Mobiles pocket (yes, I realize they make a profit on the mark-up on the phones)

No change, not that I expecting one yet
How about you, did you talk to anyone yesterday?

I got the days mixed up. They're supposed to call today
They better be giving you a loaner!
I think your experience has been the worst I have read so far....
Mine did the same thing.
I think I remember a post about someone saying that they didnt have enough in their shipment to get to your order so they put you on backorder again. I dont know how true that is though.
I also just received my case from ebay a spigen neo hybrid. Its pretty big, I dont think Im going to be able to use one hand on this phone. lol

Hah...
I think it's probably more of a "Oh, this persons order hasn't been updated in a while, let's make one simple change so they think we are actually doing something".
Which one is that? The ones I've seen on Amazon are comically oversized for even the 6 Plus.
I ordered a 128GB 6+ Space Grey from T-Mobile on Oct 18th and got put into the December 1st category for shipping (in case anyone wanted to know).
Something to note, I've been watching the iPhone order status tool on T-Mobile and noticed that:
1. It does not update on weekends.
2. It updates almost exactly at 8:30PM (PST) every weekday
That being said the tool was not updated last night like it was supposed to be. I believe there is something happening that we are unaware of.
That or I'm reaching, either way it is something fun to think about.

Can you share that order status tool? I'm assuming it's something other than the normal T-Mobile order status page.
Sorry I'm just jumping back into the waters. I have a brand new order placed today (so I'll get it on or before the 6S is released).
