I really don't understand all the comments regarding ship dates. As I stated above, when I placed my order there was an icon. I clicked on it and it showed me all the aprox ship dates. All of the plus models had ship dates one to three weeks later. All the jet black models had ship dates in October. Having my phone Friday was important to me so I sought out the info before I placed my order. I didn't just assume that I would have my phone launch day. Sprint made it easy with the link right on the order page. I place my order at 4am PST on the 9th.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Sprint has made this an excruciatingly complicated process when it could have been much simpler. Had you read more comments instead of just skimming, you- and the other people trying to stick up for Sprint or tell those of us with the comments of frustration- would understand better.

You were able to order easily? That's great. Because it was a f*****g NIGHTMARE for me and far too many other people. And instead of showing integrity, Sprint tried to sweep it under the rug and lie, blame the users, and ignore the problems. Which is incredibly stupid.

no I agree man just saying its deffinitly going to be in question after relase its like a ps4 or xbox u wait a little to get the new new to make sure I wasn't mad or trying to hate on anyone dude I think the color looks dope !

Sorry man... just frustrated with the "Oh, calm down, people! There's nothing to be frustrated about!" comments... I also have a headache, and I'm a bit of a jerk. So I apologize.

I agree that it looks good, and I thought about the fingerprints, but what really turned me off to the idea of it was the possibility of scratches. I see that being a problem for people returning their leased phones. I hope it's not, but you know some people are going to get a hard time for unavoidable nicks and scratches. But I'll be happy for them one they get them and show the rest of us. But you mentioned the Xbox... dude, I have one of the SHINY 360s, and that thing is a nightmare for fingerprints. But it looks friggin' awesome. So it will be cool to see an iPhone like that.
 
Finally! Got a tracking number for my 7 - Black - 128GB. Quick question, my weight is 3lbs. I ordered 2 phones on the same account, and it's being sent to the same place with the same tracking number. Pretty sure they are shipping both phones together. What is the weight of a single phone usually? A little odd because they are under two different names with same address.

Yeah each iphone is like 4.9 ounces or something like that, So I would estimate about 1lb. Could be 2 phones, or a phone and a return kit.

I'm excited to see this
 
Also, Sprint has the most restrictive iPhone. So my guess is that Sprint is at the bottom of Apples priority list.
No...they use the same model as Verizon that is not the slightest bit harder to manufacture. The only difference is the main board all other parts are the same.

Verizon uses a CDMA Unlocked model ( outright ) meaning every iPhone from the 5-6s+ ( waiting on 7 ) comes ready for pretty much any carrier BUT Sprint- they do use CDMA but its not unlocked model like Verizon head up sprints locked to a UDID ( sim ) so interchangeable sims aren't compatible with Sprint iphones
 
I just got word that a store near me has the 256GB 7 not the plus...I'm really considering just canceling my Jet Black Plus and grabbing that....
 
I got a shipping email! Turns out the phone and kit are indeed together. Tracking number assigned and "Ready for UPS!" Delivery by end of day 9/16 :D Black 7 256gb

For those of you bored enough to give it a shot, Target will let you "preorder" with just your email address/phone number -- basically if they have it in stock on Friday, they'll call you. But they don't have your card, so there's no obligation.

Not likely to help, but on the outside chance that some random Target has the model you want on Friday, it might be worth it.
 
I ordered around 2PM Central on the 9th lol so i dont know what is going on because i was way after alot of other people here. I also got an email saying it would be shipped 9/9 last week but only got the tracking info now. Also my card was charged on monday

Wouldn't cancell better to keep order posted and if you can get it still get it then cancell your order don't want to be out of both with a cancelled order

Not sure if you read the earlier post but many customers cannot cancel their order. Only option they have is to get the phone and return it at a sprint store.

Just relax, we will get our phones soon!

You can actually buy them unlocked from Sprint, but it's full retail price. This time around, only Sprint and Verizon are getting the full gamut of cell radios. T-Mobile and AT&T are getting phones that are GSM only. Which, to me, is pretty weird. But it was a supply issue.
