there is no rhyme or reason guys! its just gonna happen when it happens, or it isn't. i ordered @ 8:30am on the 14th I am an existing customer and don't have my email or tracking number. still no update on order status.... lets just stop looking for a pattern there isn't one. hopefully all of us that were entitled to a phone get one. if not there is always at&t!

It was stated somewhere that new lines will be activated b4 it arrives. http://support.sprint.com/support/a...p061027-20110830-114534/?ECID=vanity:preorder

"Charges
We'll charge your card for your device when you place your order. And if you are starting a new line, we'll activate your device in the warehouse so it's ready for you right out of the box."

Activation process may take some additional time.

NEVERMIND!! I didn't get my tracking number from Sprint but I signed up to UPS My Choice and they just sent me an e-mail with my tracking number. YYYAAAYYY!! I am excited.

Your Sprint Account number is one of the reference numbers on the package.

Holy **** this worked!!! Just enter your account number NO ZIPCODE just the number and choose package
 
any body else's phone got a departure scan already.???




oh and its only a 28 minute flight from worldport in louisville to lambert in st louis :cool:
 
Got my tracking via email notice for UPS my choice and Sprint! I was patient and here it is, just like the 4S!!!



Small possible hint:

According to last year's experience, UPS listed the delivery time as end of day.

And I knew my driver normally delivers in the afternoon

but he came at 11am that day.

So keep an eye out if you can
 
Got my tracking number.

No email or anything on the sprint website.

I went to UPS tracking by reference and put my sprint account number.

I get it tomorrow.
