Go through the thread you will see lots of people that have already posted links and screenshots of emails from executives and customer service reps (again, biased towards executives)

seeing Next Day Air Saver on my ups page when I paid for ground is confirmation enough for me. We'll see if the transit schedule bears that out.
 
I don't know how many times we need to keep repeating this, but here goes. The back order status doesn't mean anything. Their system is not really designed to handle pre-orders and will list them as back ordered until they actually get the phones in their warehouse. Even then, it's very likely that they will go from back ordered to shipped without any status change in between.

This is the most likely case, agreed.
 
I ordered my iPhone 6 Plus on the 12th and as of 10am this morning the latest update to my order status remains

This is my current status, been away from the thread since yesterday afternoon. Any idea if thats a good sign or a bad sign?
 
I've had no updates to my account this entire time, and now the only thing I do get is back ordered 3:17:06 AM lol I just love tmobile.
 
I was also told by verizon that they will not get anything in store except 16gb 6's, anyone heard different?

I heard this to. Also add has been my experience T-Mobile only stocks 16gb everything. The rest you have to order

You're fine. If you got charged you should get a phone if you didn't then worry
 
Best post.

I think we left normal behind quite awhile ago, and I kind of love it.

Come on birds, fly!

That has to be the best post on here. I can see SNL doing a skit about this. It's hilarious. Like you though, I'm enjoying it.

Based on what I've been reading, I suspect a large number of pre order phones will arrive on Friday and surprise many.

who can manage only 13gb (the actual amount of a 16gb) that is like 3 apps and minimal everything else...
 
I'm really curious about something. Obviously, we all have varying amounts of frustration with T-Mo and on different sides of the spectrum.

What would T-Mo need to do to make you satisfied as a customer?

That's a real question. Free Next Day Air? Credit your account? Just curious.
 
I had enough. Just cancelled my order. Of course there is no guarantee. I will bring my lawn chair and camp in front of the store at 3AM.

This is perhaps the truth behind the Jump Priority. People get so frustrated with tmobiles incompetence they cancel their orders and everyone 'jumps' a place ahead in line.

Maybe giving me my iPhone 6 plus on release date would be nice.
