Yes i don't know why people would restore from backup on a brand new phone.

Just restore contacts and photos on iCloud :)

Faster way to load all the apps instead of trying to remember them all and getting them from the App store again.
 
I'm originally from Athens... Don't you just love this wait! Hopefully I get mine pretty quick here in College Station!

Well, the UPS ******** has begun. My buddy just saw his tracking say the 1st attempt was made. Even though he was home and had the pre-sign paper on his door.

This worries me because our phones are on the same truck and I only live about 3 miles away.

This happened to me once with FedEx. The driver assumed I wasn't home. He did not ring the door bell. I heard him leave the slip at th door. I opened the door to see FedEx speeding off. I called in on him and supervisor was with him when he came back.
 
I used another persons Verizon upgrade (Not on my account) Looks like I have to activate it on their account first, then deactivate it, then activate it on my account. What a PITA,
 
Ours just arrived about 10 mins ago.

UPS guy said he had 10 this morning on his route and 2 left to go. He said so far only one person wasn't home to sign for it.

Coolness!!

Anyone receive their phone yet this morning? Getting excited!
 
I gave UPS a shout out on Twitter. They moved mountains to get these phones to everyone today. Very impressed.
 
To whom it may concern, I ordered last friday at 9:00am EST and was getting the Oct.5 ship date. My account was charged at 5:00pm last night, an hour later my order went to "preparing for shipment", woke up this morning at 7:30 and had an email saying your iPhone has shipped. I have a tracking number but no other details on it right now, nor ship date. Hope more people are getting this!!!!! Congrats to everyone who has already gotten theirs! :cool:

This is encouraging. I ordered last Friday at 8am ET, my status has changed to "preparing for shipment" but no credit card charge yet. Hopefully it will convert over soon. And who knows, maybe we'll see our phones next week?!
 
10:30....and still no iphone here, even though UPS confirmed it would get to me BY 10:30 ahhhhhh wait is killing me
 
Just got my phone

UPS came about 15 mins ago. Asked about my wife's phone, the drive went back and found it too. First in my city to get it he said. Cant wait to pair the bluetooth with my new car...what a day!!!
 
I'm stuck in Upgrade Swap activation hell. Been on the phone for 25 minutes and they still can't get the new phone on my number.

You have got to be kidding me. I was on hold for no more than 5 minutes, and the lady from AT&T was super helpful and nice with my Upgrade Swap! She even thanked me for not activating my phone before placing the call (thank you for telling me not to by the way!). I hope all goes well!
