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.

I think some people with small boxes have to work harder.
 
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.

Thats fine, but why do you feel the need to lash out at others that are having a good time? Is it affecting you in some way? Specially in an Apple forum where your going to run into "fanboyism". Its been that way since the 80's and isnt going to stop.
 
I ordered a 16GB white 4S friday at 11am (EST) and my apple order page currently says "Preparing for Shipment." I tried this trick out and it worked! FedEx had no record but sure enough I typed in the phone number as the reference number and my zip and UPS found the order. My phone is in China still but on schedule for a friday delivery =) Thanks for the tip.

I do not feel as if I am lashing out, I have not called anyone a bad name, used any bad words or made and distasteful/suggestive comments.

Others have, perhaps you're getting us all confused, but I am only expressing my opinion, negative it is, it's still my own.

Why are you lashing out at my comments? The same question can be asked of you.
 
Someone has to help keep the reality checks flowing.

Okay okay... it's a good point, if you want to go crazy and drive yourself insane waiting for the delivery of your phone, then I guess whats the harm.

Just be careful, don't lose track of things that actually really matter, go give your parents a hug and thank them for having dinner on the table and keeping a roof over your head. :)

thats would be funny if i actually lived with my parents. i guess i could tell the wife thanks for making me dinner but thats it

Actually, I think thanking your wife for dinner is equally as good an idea as thanking your parents.
 
Holy **** can we stop all this **** talking and stick to OT, otherwise, mods just close this thread.

I'm pretty sure that Sprint thing was a rumor.

Indeed, but when I made that comment it was on Oct. 3rd, the day it was reported by the WSJ.

And it's something I would stick to, if Sprint dropped that much of the core value on one phone, I would call them stupid all day and all night.

I would to. But, out of respect, let's just stay on point in this thread since it is referring to shipped iPhones, not stupid Sprint people.

:D

Agreed, although I wasn't the one to bring that aspect of this conversation up, it was another who referenced an older post of mine.
 
there are 4 planes who left anchorage 20 minutes ago,, so where do you think it is :) no scans yet !!

They're within a few minutes of each other. Roll the dice and pick one to track. I ended up with UPS63.

Of course, they could trip us up and not make this group out. Even if it doesn't fly out until tomorrow, there's still plenty of time to make a Friday delivery.

correct me if im wrong, did u pick 63? or do you know its in 63?
 
Been stuck in Louisville, KY since 9:28am local 10/11/11! I figure this is where Apple controlled the hold via UPS on iPhones since mine made it on the second shipment (just a few hours behind the first ones) leaving China. I'm on the west coast in Washington state, maybe there's no other decent sized hub to hold them in this area and they figure it's easier to push them on the normal World Express timeline. :confused:
 
ordered 16gb at 4pm PST on Friday still in preparing shipment phase.


side note...did anyone port their number from another carrier when pre ordering the 4s from apple.com? i havent gotten anything about it yet via email wise.
 
ok going to ask a dumb question. All my UPS tracking number says it label has been printed, order processed blah blah blah

How do you guy's know where yours is and what flight its traveling on?

we are checking on our history primarily on Departure scan, then find some flight which departed closest to the departure scan (also include airport and destination)
