Ordered a White 16GB on 9/14 at 4:15am EST still no email/tracking number, also ordered a Black 16GB on 9/15 at 6am EST, nothing on either one. Not expecting the black one until next week.
 
No email, but I just updated Sprints site and they'd finally posted the tracking number. Hurrah!
 
Perhaps the tracking numbers are being given out in the order that the pre-orders were placed in.

Whoever got a tracking number, could you post what day and time you pre-ordered?

I dont think so. I ordered one (32 GB Black) on line at 6 am EST on the 14th and it has not tracking or emial. I made my second order at about 6pm on the 14th, for two phones, one 32black and one 32white. I made my fourth order on the morning of the 16th with telesales (new line). I have gotten email and tracking for the later ones, including two days later, all coming the 21st, but not for the first online order made with hours of presale start

I was worried about the second order because it was two one one and later I realized I wasn't supposed to do that but they split the order.

So definitely not shipped in order received for me. In fact the telesales from the 16th tracking number came first and it was the last order I made
 
still playing the waiting game lol ordered 7pm on the 14th black 32gig so i really think the scanning is all random
 
Black 32GB

I orderd mine at 4:30 am Est and I have not yet received a tracking number I guess they are currently in the process of scanning them.:apple:
 
could you please tell me when did you order/your order :)

thanks

I ordered (Blk 16G)on Fri 9/14 around 10:30am ESt. I also order one for my son (Wht 16G) on Fri 9/14 around 1:00 EST and got tracking number for his also.

At this point they are sitting in Ky... haven't been transported yet. But I have a scheduled delivery date for tomorrow.
 
A 5" screen would be ridiculous, in a bad way. My current phone has a 4.3" screen and I think it's perfect. A bigger screen size than that is one of the things that kept me from getting the S3.

I agree. Was using the Samsung Epic 4G with Android and decided NOT to upgrade to the S3 specifically because it's too damned big! I need a phone, not a mini tablet.

Got my wife an iPhone 4 and am so jealous because of her apps. Frankly it's worth getting an iPhone just for iTunes remote, which I can use to control the Apple TVs that are the centerpieces of our home entertainment system. I really loved my Epic and it was a great phone, but since our home Apple ecosystem is growing, I figured it was time for some consistency. It's so frustrating to use my iPad, then switch to my phone and the apps are different or aren't available for Android. My wife is sick of me taking her phone when I want to watch TV or set the alarm or check the balance of my 401k.

Getting an iPhone 5 seemed like the perfect way to replace my faithful little Epic when my contract renewed.

...but I still don't have a stupid tracking number!!! WTF?

Just got my tracking number for the 3 phones and 3 Apple Care +s! Got the email minutes later. (So Apple Care shouldn't hold you up).

The 3 iphones have the same tracking number so I guess they are delivering all of them in one box!

For the Apple Care +s it says they are "shipped" but they don't have a tracking number which is common sense.

Looks like the switch was a great choice for you! Good to hear. Would you have gotten it if the screen was still 3.5"? I don't think I would have haha. The right screen size is a big deal to me.
 
Fudge.!!!! A lot people are getting there tracking number. :/ well I ordered a 32gb black at 3:00pm pacific time on launch day. According to them I'm in the clear to get mine on time. I've only gotten 1 email from them. By the way new customer. (Under my moms name :) )

Thank you! What a relief. I can now wait a little more patiently.

Haven't heard anything yet either. 32GB White ordered on 9/14/2012 7:30CST. New customer as well, so perhaps it's taking a little longer because they are activating it @ the warehouse.
 
In my sprint email it also says this:

Shipped via: UPS
Click to track: www.ups.com www.fedex.com www.usps.com
Shipping method: Overnight: Next Day PM

My UPS guy usually comes after 6 PM so that works good for me. I hope they get them from Kentucky to California and in my hand by tomorrow!
 
Nice! I ordered at 1:30 am PST and I don't have a tracking numbers yet. I ordered a 32 and two 16s. When I look under my devices I still see my crappy Touch Pro 2 and two Samsung Rants :p

Whoa someone else who has/had the TP2. Kept that phone for the longest time so I wouldn't have to upgrade my plan (had Unlimited Data, Texts, etc., 1000 minutes, NW@5pm AND Insurance for a grand total of $35!) But that phone was soooo slow and awful. Recently bought an S2 back in May which has been great, but interested in seeing what an iPhone has to offer.

Regardless, it'll be way better than the the TP2!
 
everyone who ordered before the deadline will get their phone tomorrow. Dont stress. People who got their tracking number such as me today it only says origin scan. Now if you dont get the number before these phones actually start moving then it might be something to worry bout.

Might be based on your location as well. Mine doesn't have to leave Louisville till tomorrow and I'll still get it on time.
