SPRINT iPhone 5 PRE-ORDER thread!!

Got mine at 3pm pacific time the time I ordered it how ironic lol. Well he didn't even knock the door. I was waiting all day in my living room and my brother gets home and tells me. Hey I think your iPhone is at the doorstep and sure enough it was all hot.! But so far I like it got a Belkin case at best buy and order 2 more cases on amazon and a pack of aduro screen protectors. I'm located in la Habra near Anaheim California if anybody hasn't gotten there's yet near by me. Have fun.!!!
 
Finally UPS has arrived. at 5:48....... :D:D:D...... they let my neighbor standing out front with no shirt on sign for it. Fortunately i know him.
 
Got my 5 activated and restored from back up. Holy crap this thing flys! It's faster than my iPad 3 on n band wifi!!! Sprint is actually way faster for 3G than AT&T! Incredible!
 
My friend got his for Sprint but he can't make outgoing calls. When he tries to calls me I can't hear him. I can call him and it works fine. Is this a sprint issue?
 
Well I finally got it activated, but I am having issues with syncing. Can anyone tell me if they play a song from there iphone device through itunes does it crash itunes? Because my itunes crashing so much.
 
so just got my activated. Also this morning i went to sprint store here in San Jose and got my wife a 32gb iphone 5. Only 13 people in line and i ended up being number 4. Also i dont think everyone in line got there iphone 5. But they did have several cases in cases including Otterbox cases which we got for 25% off.
 
Does anyone know how to use Passbook? Does it even work yet? Not working for me.
 
Initial Thoughts

Phone is awesome. I upgraded to iOS on my 4s before I sold it so I could see if I could tell difference between it and the 5. Big difference in touch screen technology.
UPS guy came at 2:45 p.m. but he through the package 10 feet and it his my security door that's how I knew it arrived. No door bell, no signature.
Upgrade was also a swap because my spouse was eligible and could care less so I called Tech Support to activate and then swap out to my line. Reached a very knowledgable agent and within 15 minutes, activate and restore from cloud.
Last year 4s didn't come until 8:30 p.m. so 2:45 p.m. was an improvement but tossing the package was disappointing.
Hope everyone is enjoying their new phone.

UPS is notorious for throwing packages. And if you complain about it, they'll do worse. We used to have one guy that would throw the packages and not ring the bell... even if the packages said FRAGILE. We complained about it and the next time we got a package, I watched him and he didn't throw it... he put it down on the step... and then stomped on it.

I have had to call twice today. 1st to activate. Only on hold 10 minutes and fixed within 15 minutes of getting answered. Then, I couldn't get visual voicemail to work. Called in and had someone within 2 minutes and fixed within 5 minutes. Not too bad. Now, if only I had decent 4g or hell even a useable 3g connection I would be thrilled. Don't have too long to wait. Loved WiMax when I had one of the original Evo 4G phones.

See, I would video record that crap not for UPS, but to go to the media. The media loves these kinds of stories.
 
tracking updated this morning saying it wouldn't come til monday, then updated tonight saying that it was a sorting error and it will be delivered saturday. UPS sucks, atleast they fixed their mistake I guess.

I just said "oh well" and put a case on it. Maybe in 5 years Apple will send us checks for $35 (iPod Nano, anyone remember?).
