This has gone from a simple forum for people who's packages have shipped to an all out war! I'm laughing at all of you that are fighting over nothing!!! Wake up and smell the coffee...NOBODY cares about your opinions. Just keep them to yourself. If somebody wants to track the plane that their phone is on LET THEM! Get your nose out of their business.

I think the sheer aspect of possibly receiving the phone earlier than its scheduled release is what has everyone tracking their phone, not because of lack of a life or age. In fact, most of us spent hard earned money on a long awaited product and want the confirmation that it is coming as promised. For some people this is fun, others will think you're nuts. It's a distraction from the everyday crap. Either way, it's going to happen when there's so much hype around a product.

This is true, I wish I could get away with starting three polls on this forum:

1. How old are you?

2. How many of you still live with your parents?

3. How many of you have full time employment?

I think the numbers would surprise everyone.

It's hilarious, tracking down flight numbers, taking wild guesses at departure times, or exact locations of a package that might or might not be your phone.

Acting like their long lost child who was just released from a middle east prison is on their way home after 20 years away or something.

How will some of these people cope with life when forced to face actual problems. No way will siri help them cover this months mortgage payment.

Oh, get over yourself. Don't pretend that you know everyone's situation in this thread. You see my avatar? I earned that in Iraq. So excuse the hell out me if a grown man, with a family, and a mortgage, and a job, and combat experience serving his country wants to feel like a kid again by being excited about a new product.

Notice I said "Some of these people".

Not "All of these people."

Your situation is not to be taken lightly, your service is greatly appreciated, my opinions are not one of attack of judgement, they are reflection on what matters most. You of all people should know that.

As I said only a few posts later, if driving yourself crazy over delivery of a phone is what you really want, then I guess no harm done.

Regardless, I have one on the way to me as well and look forward to having it.

I am confident that everyone in this thread is fully aware of what is truly important in life. Yes, it's just a damn phone, but don't you remember what it was like to be 10 years old on Christmas morning? I can only speak for myself, but Apple makes me feel that way every time they release a new product. Instead of chiming in with negative comments, just let people take a break from their real lives and be kids again.

 

[ChimpNamedEnid]

I'm 26 and have had to change my pants 4 times watching the tracking from China to Anchorage to Ontario to Louisville.

So, yeah, I'm a little excited and I don't care if it bothers you.

Don't fall off of that high horse!

Maybe thats it, my childhood... Christmas morning wasn't generally an experience I look back on very fondly. Haha... but, that doesn't mean it was the same for others.

Like I said, if it's what you want, I don't see the harm. But, you have to admit, my point of view, and my expression of that doesn't do you any harm either. So we will agree to allow each other our feelings regardless to how much they might not match.

Again, I'm not the most patriotic sort, and disagree greatly with much of what we do as a country, but the one thing I have and always will support is our military, so thank you for your service.

Flight number

How do I get the flight number?

 

[AndrewR23]

My Apple status still says preparing to ship...

UPS works though.



Side note: the immature people in this thread are the ones telling us we are immature for tracking flights, etc. I have never tracked a flight but I understand those who do.

Adults like a lot of us in this thread have busy schedules, bills and a lot more. Everytime Apple releases a new product like the 4S, all the stress going on with us right now just goes away, even for 10 minutes when looking up the flights, etc.

Read my posts man, no back-pedal here... it's fully consistent all the way through.

The only thing that changes that is your own personal emotions and how they modify the point I'm trying to make.

This forum in general is far too defensive of differing points of view.

I always find it funny, a company which made it's fortune under the chant of "think different" only to be supported by so many consumers who aren't capable of anything but thinking exactly alike.

Well, then get happy my friend! You've got some Christmases to make up for.

And there's no need to thank me, but I appreciate it.

I always do this as well since I live in Military City usa, San Antonio TX with 5 military bases in the city, THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE!

For crying out loud, man, I just reread your initial post, and it's not just a "different point of view" that can't be handled by "defensive" people: it was meant to be insulting to everyone here, and you know it. When Alonzo called you on it, you did indeed get a softer (though not necessarily offensive) tone. You backed off with the "I only said 'some' not 'all'" garbage, then you get on a high horse about "what's important".

So, if not everyone, who exactly were you "differing with" here by implying that they were children/childish, living with parents, not gainfully employed, unable to cope with life and face actual problems, and unable to think critically?

We're having fun here, and you're being a self important jerk. Please don't let that statement affect your personal emotions and modify the point that I'm trying to make. The fact that you think that you're just trying to innocently express an opinion instead of being rude is awful. Most everyone here is likely a responsible, mature adult who has faced a myriad of life's problems and they're just trying enjoy and feed off of each other's excitement.

 

[iPhoneready]

We ordered ours at 1:30am Oct 7th through Verizon and we finally just received emails that they have shipped via Fedex from Ontario, CA.

Hey, you've decided to let what I say bother you, there's not much I can do about that. Nor does that differ in any way at all from the level of excitement displayed by some here and how that bothers me.

So, if you think I am being a jerk, then you are by the same token very much one as well.

sure are alot of trolls in this thread. My guess is people who are jealous about not being able to either afford one because they are stuck on contract with a droid or have nothing better to do with there lives but to rain on everyone's parade.

Very well put sir and thank you for your service.. It's because of people like you we all have the FREEDOM to act like a kid again and be excited for a phone.

I ordered my iPhone 4s at 8am last Friday, it's currently scheduled to be delivered this Friday.

I am not trolling.

What the **** are you talking about?

 

[jspring0033]

Sooo.. The UPS flight from Hong Kong is about to arrive in Anchorage in about 30 min or so.

I double checked the flights out of Anchorage and there is like 10 of them all about 5 min apart headed towards Louisville, KY.

Guessing there are a lot of phones headed that way.

you must be stupid because you have already said the S in iphone 4s means stupid.

And I have a hard time believing after looking at your posts you bought anything. From your short posting history you seem to have a real dislike for people is my guess.

I wonder if UPS had to up there flights for the increase workload. You would think not because the boxes they come in are so small.

Uhh... can you say "out of context"? My reference to the S being "stupid" was when discussing the report that Sprint dropped 20 BILLION dollars to have exclusive rights to selling the iPhone.

I have been a Sprint customer for many years and have seen their stock value tank. To put that much money in one phone would indeed be, what I said... stupid.

As for my purchase, hell yeah I bought one. I love Apple products and have said that here time and time again.

I hate fanboyism is all, that has been clear and obvious since my first post.

I can love the product without loving the culture.

 

[jspring0033]

You know if I had to guess then yes, that would be my assumption. Maybe they needed to hold some flights to let KY catch up?

The flights to Louisville KY from Anchorage that are departing after the flight from Hong Kong gets there are in Alaska local time 2:32pm currently:

1. UPS 51 at 3:10pm
2. UPS 63 at 3:16pm
3. UPS 61 at 3:19pm
4. UPS 81 at 3:20pm
5. UPS 105 at 3:38pm

Thats all of the flights that it shows leaving today headed for Louisville and hope my phone is on one of them as one of these flights will probably one of the last flights that would reasonably get my phone to me on Friday.
