Decided to call the UPS International line directly to get better information on the holdup of the 7:10 club.

Been on hold 90 minutes so far. lol
 
I went to the apple store earlier and played with the plus boy is it big. I'm just getting used to swiping with swift key with ios 8 when my 6+ comes Monday (or whenever haha) I'm going to have to go back to typing normal. impossible to swipe with one thumb on the plus. Hopefully SwiftKey comes out with a 1 handed version for the plus.

Yeah Swype is nice on a regular-sized phone (5" or less), but anything bigger and it's just not functional. Honestly, my favorite keyboard has always been the regular iOS keyboard, followed closely by the Android stock keyboard (which has swype-like functionality built right in). I would love to see the Android keyboard get released on iOS, actually; my two favorites side-by-side.

Ugh, I thought about saying I was the FDC auditor calling about an irate customer that wants more information, but my center is closed on Saturday so it might be too obvious. lol

I don't know, I kind of already use two hands with swift key. Hold it with my left and slide with my right Index finger ( sorry if that sounds weird ). I think I'll be able to use it with the plus

Typing with an index finger!? Ugh I'm like blazing fast with 1 thumb 1 handed thats the only thing about the plus I'm worried about

I type with one hand but when I use swift with the flow function I've been using my index finger. The flow function is new to me altogether so maybe that's why

OK, I just got off the phone with the UPS Internationals line, and yes if your phone shows a 7:10 time in ZhengZhou it was singled out for a security screening today, but I confirmed that it is INDEED still in China, and it wasn't like it missed a departure scan or anything.

The lady reiterated that it would still make delivery by the 25th, but the chances of early delivery are seeming less and less likely. If our phones grab a plane in the next 24 hours, most of us could get it by Wednesday at least.

Mine never showed a 7:10 time under any status update, which I guess is a good thing?
