SPRINT iPhone 5 PRE-ORDER thread!!

I didn't get a confirmation email either but talked to Sprint yesterday and he said everything was processing fine and my order had gone through.
My confirmation was the $598 they took out of my account. I had no idea taxes were more on cell phone purchases.
Yeah. The message stating the noon thing was only for 16GB. They went the fastest. I wish I had the extra $50 to get the 32GB.
Was the 32GB only $50 more than the 16GB? I thought it was $100?
BTW I'm your neighborish... from LA!
Same here but they assured me my order was being processed and preparing for shipment.
You only have one tracking number right? The people that have received the confirmation E-Mail have a different one in there apparently.
I was under that impression as well but the Sprint site is showing 9/21 for the 32 and 64 gig
From what I understand it's the 16gb model that's 2 weeks. My 32gb still states 9/21. I ordered mine @6am EST. I signed up as a new (returning sprint customer) and my account was put on hold. After a phone call @ 8am est it was taken off hold. The rep said he wasn't sure why my order was put on hold in the first place. I was approved for five lines and no deposit... Not sure why I would care about that anyway.
Well yea, NOW it is. But if you ordered early enough it would be a different story wouldn't it?
Also, I'm VERY surprised the amount of people who didn't jump on the Sprint bandwagon with the new phone judging by the thread hits for the other carriers. I can't imagine why you would want to continue to give carriers that grease their customers at every turn. Like AT&T pulling a double jeopardy on FaceTime when you already pay for the data.
I'm not surprised. Sprint's LTE network coverage is terrible. Sure they're building it up, but who knows how long that will take and not many people are willing to wait for it.
Just talked to Sprint and finally got my confirmation number that wasn't E-Mailed to me.

Interesting that the note about "orders placed through," vary. From what I can gather though... it looks like it has to do with the size of iPhone you purchased.
Yep, just got the same status.
