SPRINT iPhone 5 PRE-ORDER thread!!

Tax isn't more, it's just off of the original phone price, not the discounted 2-year price.
----------
No. I had $330 in my bank account because I thought the 32GB price would be that but I didn't anticipate that the tax is on the full amount of the phone so I was forced into getting the 16GB. /:
And cool!
----------
I'm anticipating the tracking # tonight. Hopefully it's tonight b/c I can't wait any longer!
Never received an email either. Talked to sprint earlier. Gave me a different order number than the one I given after placing my order. Said the original one was a temporary order number and the new one was the final order number that's generated when sprint completes the order.

Mine say's "order in progress" under the order history but when I enter the number on sprint.com/myorder it still says "The equipment has shipped and/or the activation is complete".
Yup,mine too
says it was updated today 9/17.
Looking pretty good for this Friday for sure for our 64gb's!

That's the picture it shows if it's on hold??

Why did this thread die so quickly? ):
No. I have that too. I preordered mine in in the middle of the night (9/17), and i called them to see if all was well, they needed verification. I verified everything, and now my screen shows that same screen. Apparently statuses will change on Wednesday
Just ordered both of ours today and was able to waive the activation fee for upgrading. Small victory for me. No order status yet since I ordered over the phone
Trust me on this, if ur bill is late you will not get the phone. A friend of mines bill was late 1 day and they wouldn't let him even pay to upgrade until the bill was paid first. I'd take care of it right now if I were you.
Guys, dumbest question ever but I'd like to know--is there a roaming indicator for Sprint iPhones? Like a triangle? Curious.
Yes.

My card has been charged for the phone. Interestingly enough, it is for slightly less than what Sprint initially said it would be.. by almost $20. It appears that Sprint overestimated the tax.
I originally ordered through Apple and then cancelled my order and did it with Sprint. Sprint's charge now matches what Apple was going to charge me. Which is great because I initially wondered why the Sprint total was slightly more than the Apple one.
I told him I've been with Sprint forever yada yada. And I speak very clearly and nicely to anyone in the customer service world since they're used to getting pooped on. Been with them since the Nextel merge. And he just said let me see what I can do. And boom two fees waived and 80 bucks in my pocket
I believe that as long as you got your order in before 2 pm for the 16GB you should be okay. Did you check your status to see what it says?
