I ordered a Gold 6 with 64GB and got through about 10 minutes ago. Got the confirmation email that says they will try and deliver BY the 19th.

Wow. Lucky. Did you go in a certain way or just refresh over and over like everyone else is doing?

Yeah pretty much, I have a decently quick home internet connection so I refreshed probably every 20 seconds while watching how I met your mother and checking mac rumors :)

Anybody get the "we have reserved an iPhone for you" notice?

Yes. Went on the app store app on my iPad and I got a reservation number...

I am so confused since I didnt even think I can order the phone through the app store with sprint since sprint told me the apple store doesn't support the family plan... wtf?

Woah. That's weird. I just got the reservation as well and I wasn't supposed to be able to order through apple because I'm not eligible for an upgrade.

nope never got the email from them they said they would send when I pre-registered earlier this week

No not that one. When I ordered through the apple App Store app and went to checkout, instead of it saying I ordered a phone, it said that it could not reach sprint. It instead supposedly reserved a phone for me and would send me an email when I could continue my checkout process.

That's bs. U can order through apple, u just have to pay full price.

Im on a Framily plan so the apple store app says I have to go through Sprint. And of course Sprint is down....

So now after several hours of trying online then I have to go to Best Buy in the AM with kids and wait outside? (And to top it off, Best Buy charges $100 more for no-contract phones. Sometimes you can get them to pricematch down but if nobody has them in stock then they'll try to be jerks about it.)

In up to 3 weeks?!! Can they not guarantee a 19th delivery date?!!!

EDIT: I searched again and my reservation is now in the system. Hopefully the eservation will still get us in for a 19th delivery.

Just placed my order. Go to Sprint.com and click on shop, then Iphones. Took me an hour to make it happen but now went very smoothly and quickly. Says Sprint will do their best to get it to me by 9/19. Got a 64G Gold.

After nearly 2 hours I was finally able to place my order and get a confirmation number. This was a total cluster **** on Sprint's part to say the least. My roommates have AT&T and Verizon and put their orders in about 30 minutes ago, another friend of ours has T-Mobile and there's no mention of the iPhone 6 on their website.

I think everyone is in that boat. Apple and AT&T orders are 2-3 weeks to from what I've been reading.

The delivery dates seem to be inconsistent. There are some just now processing orders and still getting 19th delivery dates.

Craziness. It's like a roll of a dice with these delivery dates this year.
