WHOA. WHAT! How is that even...what?!? I am so confused.

When you call in, ask to be transferred to the Global Department. See if you can get a gal named Yvonne. She was quick and did it in under a minute.
 
A unlocked device is usually linked to the IMEI number, all they have to do is adjust it in their system.

True...but then that information needs to be received by the phone somehow right? I guess its a question of whether it was pushed automatically over the air or if it needs to be done through iTunes like with other carriers.

Maybe when OP gets home and connects to iTunes he'll get a message like this.

Me: "Siri, I need a happy ending."

Siri: "I've found a number of massage parlors fairly close to you:"

List of nearby massage spas given, with distances...


Me: "My feet hurt."

Siri: "I've found a hospital fairly close to you:"



Me: "My toenails itch."

Siri: "I have nothing to say to that."
 
the Dude, nevermind the a$$hat troll, we know you got your iPhone early. congrats, and thanks for sharing.

And if anyone really doesn't believe I ran the tracking number off the picture with the box and it showed the same info as what he posted, so unless the OP is running a huge one over on us that included photo shop and shipping a package to himself, its legit.

And OP, you should pull the pic's that have your personal information...

I'll check it when I get home, as I will definitely be hooking up later!
 
I wanna know how the performance is compared to the iPhone 4!!
So far much faster - but then the iPhone 4 was pretty fast.

It'll probably be something that takes some time to notice - I'm at work and have spent most of my time on here blathering about getting the phone early, so I've not really messed with it as much as I plan on doing.
 
Transferred to the Global Dept....

VZW Global: "Blah blah blah - understand you want to unlock your SIM - blah blah Verizon Wireless appreciates your business - blah blah blah - give me a few minutes to verify your account..."

Me: "Ok."

VZW Global: "What I just did sir was processed the SIM to be unlocked and you're good to go with any GSM SIM card!"

Me: "Wow, that's it, so I can just drop in a pre-paid SIM when I arrive in Italy?"

VZW Global: "Yes sir, that's all. Anything else I can assist you with aside from the SIM card unlock?"

Me: "So you can do it all from there - nothing for me to do from the phone settings?"

VZW Global: "Yes, we've done it all from our systems here. Anything else I can assist you with aside from the SIM card unlock?"

Me: "Nope, thanks!"

Are you a new Verizon customer or been with them "over 60 days"?

Been with them for a while. Left them back in 2007 to get the iPhone 3G, but AT&T's service was awful where we lived, so we went back to Verizon and suffered through a Droid Incredible until the iP4 released earlier this year. Wife is keeping her iP4 - I sold my iP4 on eBay for $305 and got the iP4S for $358.11 (they charge sales tax on the full retail price, although I only paid $299.99).

Quick reply man. Please tell me you have something like Infinity Blade or something to take that badboy for a spin with? lol

I don't, but I may try it. Not much into games on the iPhone, but I may start soon!

Downloading Infinity Blade now...will give it a whirl on the toilet in a few! ;-)
 
The box is photoshopped. That S is clearly at a 32.3 degree angle whereas the side of the box is at a 73 degree angle. It doesn't match up.

You guys need to take some photoshop lessons off of youtube like I do.

REALLY GUYS?!?!?! This guy is so obviously just kidding. Amazes me how many people can't catch on to that. Turn your sarcasm detectors on please!!!



Congrats on getting the phone early OP!!! Im jeaous! :D
 
I am AT&T tho so I guess your situation wouldn't apply to mine. My question is when I get my 4s tomorrow can I just set it up as a new phone then restore it from iCloud? Will I have to swap sims from my 4 to 4s?.

You do not swap SIMS. When you get your new phone you activate it with the new SIM already inside and that removes the old SIM from AT&T's database, effectively killing it.

What about for me? I'm going in to have them set it up on a new line so that I get it cheaper, then I'm transferring it over to the line I actually want it on. Can they even do that at an Apple Store?

Eagerly awaiting what you have to say about it. It ran pretty damn good on the i4, but with some stuttering/lag here and there.

Look at Infinity Blade 2 if you want to know what I'm hoping to see (in terms of framerate)

----------

One voice, a few different accents and languages. Australian, British, American, French and German.

Well shouldn't those be multiple voices like we've seen in other videos?

Like the British one was a male and sounded British? Or is it the same chick either way?

I'll check - at work so it's hard to talk to my phone in the cube farm. May walk outside to see what it sounds like.

Wow, I'm proven wrong! Just checked - the UK is a male voice with a British accent.

Australian - woman. I said "Testing", and she said "I...Can...Hear...You"

French - male. I said "Oui", he said "Oui...quoi?" Which means "Yes...what?"

German - female. I said "Bier". She said "Entschuldigung, ich sehe keinen Kontakt mit dem Namen Bier". Which means "Sorry, I do not see any contact with the beer name."
