Yea, that's the one I've been using. I fall under the dates that expect their phones shipped within a week, and it has said that since saturday
Just didn't take "you'll get an e-mail" for an answer. I was kind of a jerk.
I've had my phone's now for 3 hours and the myorders page just updated with the tracking number.
Received shipping email at 7:30am this morning, tracking number doesn't work. UPS Next Day PM, ordered a Black 16GB on 9/15 at 6:15am EST.
i never did pre-order. I walked right into the apple store on the 22nd and walked out with a 32GB White iPhone 5 on sprint... i think pre-ordering is dumb.
Talked with my guy at the sprint store before the per order and he assured me he could get me one with in a few days of release and I did not have to order online like I did for my wife with the 4s & got it the day they came out Well here we are one week later and being told it should be here late next week. Kind of strange I think.
Well my experience with Sprint is not so great so far. I Pre-ordered with them at 7PM oon 9/14 and I was told it would arrive sometime this week ( second wave ). Now it has moved to 3 weeks, but still no tracking number. I may just cancel this and just buy one from the damn store as they have 32 and 64GB ones available. 
Wow, I hadn't realized that folks who ordered between the 15-17th still haven't received their phones yet.
I guess I had some dumb-luck... visited my local Sprint store on Tuesday night, paid the $50 for a gift card to get on the wait list... they called me Wednesday afternoon to let me know my phone was ready for pickup. About 19 hours later...

Good Luck Guys!
I have sprint now they are really bad thats why i am leaving them
I saw this post (duh) after I'd already renewed my Sprint contract and pre-ordered my new iPhone 5. I've now had my new Sprint iPhone 5 for just over two months and I've cancelled my contract and am switching to Verizon.
The 4G LTE coverage on Sprint is a joke! When I was in San Jose on business a couple of weeks ago, my phone basically became useless. The reception was so bad (3G all around) that I could barely complete a call, much less surf the web - and don't even ask me about coverage in Utah.
Meanwhile Verizon has coverage all over northern Cal and here in Utah they have 4G LTE coverage in places as obscure as Provo! I'm done. I'm selling my Sprint iPhone 5 on eBay to recoup the $350 severance cost. I'm moving the rest of my family over after Christmas.
It was fun participating in the pre-order madness with you guys, but between the bad reception, horrible internet speeds, the Sprint's completely hopeless voicemail app (I eventually had to install Google Voice for voicemail), and the fact that my the black coating is wearing off around the edges of my phone already (I ordered the Verizon phone in White), I'm done.
