T-Mobile.com preorder thread

I'm just losing my ***** that other people are getting it first. Not because I'm jealous but because of the hours spent trying to pre order in the the first place.

Ordered EIP confirmed 6:30 AM ET, iPhone 6+ 64GB, non jump

Same exact thing here. I was up at 3AM, then when they ****ed up the pre-order I got up at every hour on the hour to see if I could place my order. FINALLY got through at 7:30-ish EST, opted for the fastest shipping, and now I got an email saying 9/22 - 9/30.

This is a terrible first experience with T-Mobile.

Well, now that other carriers are stepping up with better/cheaper plans (and yes, I credit tmobile for applying pressure), I don't see any reason to stay with them and their inferior coverage if they're going to treat customers like this. This whole "JUMP customers get priority" thing is ridiculous - I get that those delayed by a glitch should be able to get a boost, but every one of them? I wasn't told that JUMP had any of these benefits when I signed up, or I would've chosen JUMP.

I'm not asking for a friday-guarantee, I'd be okay with even the 9/22-9/30 window, or really even beyond, but the lack of consistent communication is what's getting to me. Either send nothing or be consistent.

It's not a benefit for JUMP! It was a reactive solution to a problem that wasn't expected. JUMP! had no priorities for any pre-order before this. Also, JUMP! priority doesn't seem to bump them directly to the front, especially those who ordered after the 12th. There are many JUMP! order who are getting 9/22-9/30, or the dreaded 1-2 days for a shipping estimate while new lines and standard upgrades are seeing the Friday message.

How many 64gb 6+ are other people getting before you? Sounds to me like those were the most popular. :confused:
 
I'm telling you guys, we're in a better situation than other people. Hopefully we'll have devices by Tuesday/Wednesday or Friday at the latest.
 
Anyone who can_see there package on ups my choice... Is it at the Louisville wearhouse? Betting other shipping locations should see movement soon. My label was created at 5:30 eastern today.
 
These texts were supposed to go out today. How else do you explain getting a UPS order with delivery date tomorrow, with a item weughing 1 pound right after the texts?
 
I suppose I should say that I'm a new T-Mo customer, non-JUMP. iPhone 6, 64GB, Silver. Ordered Friday evening around 7:00pm, in-store. Got confirmation email that I'll be getting my phone Friday, just as the store manager said. So stoked!

Looks like I should get JUMP then? Do you have to get it when you order your phone or can you add it at any time? If you do add it later, is there a certain # of months you have to wait before you can upgrade?

I am glad I talked myself into the 128GB 6+. 64GB would have been plenty for me since I have 40GB available on my 64GB 5S, but I knew that a ton of people would be going for it, especially since it's 4x the memory for $100 more.

Yeah… I would bet money that *most* people have outgrown 16gb devices, and they know because they run into problems taking pictures when their phone is full, etc. These definitely are now people's dedicated point and shoot cameras.

So I blame Apple for being stingy and leaving a 16gb model in place on a flagship device in order to get people to pony up more $$ for 64gb. Really d*** move on their part, IMO.

Sad thing is T-Mobile probably order more 16GB models than 64GB...

Seriously though, Apple should have made 32GB the lowest.
