Today is the 19th and there is still no tracking number attached. I called sprint today and they said they will not know anything until after the 21st

I wish I was one of those lucky people that get it the day before

I agree. i have only called them with questions about my new account, since I ported from bad blue and to add another line to my service
I thought it was common knowledge that if you call Sprint about tracking your phones, Sprint Reps deliberately notate the account and hold it up at the Warehouse so that it arrives a day or two late.
Okay so I just got off the phone with sprint and at 1st the lady told me that 21st is the day they ship it and no one will get it before 24th, I told her thats not possible it says on order status we should get it on or around 21st. And I told her how come everyone who order with AT&T and apple is getting theirs on 21st.
She then put me on hold to check with her supervisor and then she told me she was mistaken and I should get mine on 21st.
Also she told me that it shows that my iPhone is in warehouse for final processing and I should get tracking code later today or tomorrow.
I don't know why apple is holding the iPhone, if people put the effort of staying up all night to pre-order they should get it as soon as its ready

It's time to file some complaints this is misleading I someone will pay. When have you heard you preorder something and you have to wait three weeks to get. Apple should send all the phone going to their store and ship it out to the ones that already paid for it. It's only right.
A pre-order is an order placed for an item which has not yet been released. The idea for pre-orders came when people found it hard to get popular items in stores due to their popularity. Companies were then given the idea to allow people to reserve their own personal copy, before the release, which has been a huge success. Pre-orders allow consumers to guarantee immediate delivery on release, manufacturers can gauge how much demand there will be and hence how large initial production runs should be, and sellers can be assured of minimum sales. Additionally, high pre-order rates can be used to generate publicity to further increase sales.

I never thought about 1 company so much that my head is hurting.... At school i press F5.... at work i press F5... as soon as i wake up i press F5... im eating im pressing F5..... im takin a crap im here hoping to find hope in someone else that got their tracking number.... untill then i still push F5...... The anticipation of a pre order is exciting.... but a pre order with no tracking number is Misery.....
You should first be thankful that Apple isn't like other companies, they announced this product on the 12th and you're going to have it in your hands on the 21st. You would be waiting 6 months if this were any other company. You should also be thankful you'll be getting it before most people.

You are obsessive compulsive.
Tonight... if i have no tracking number.... Im shaving my head and i will stare out my window...... every afternoon until the sun falls..... in hope.... my iPhone will come.... till then...... It's ******* Sprint ! they let me down and the entire nation....
Yesterday I spoke with a rep and she said the phones are being shipped from Ky. In my mind that means it probably wont be shipped until late wednesday or Thursday.
Soooooo - WHY do I continue checking that stupid preorder status. Only to get the same message... #smh..
When will I learn.

Once Sprint builds out it's LTE we'll be glad we stayed with Sprint and our unlimited data while everyone else is paying ridiculous data overages.
Not that shocking. Most iPhone users are on AT&T and Verizon. Evidenced by how long the initial batch of iPhone 5s were still in stock on 9/14 (or even beyond, in the case of the 32/64GB).
Probably because of everyone trying to check their order status at the same time
