T-Mobile.com preorder thread

I remember that. I actually signed up for 2 MotoX cards and ended up giving them away on Reddit to the best story as to why they needed them lol

HA! I used both of mine but ended up returning them. Loved the design/hardware and moto tweaks. Really hated the camera, which is really important to me.
 
Oh and I received email yesterday about friday delivery. No tracking number from t-mobile yet (showing package picked up on UPS.com), robolady still says backorder, order status pre-order, and called and still says backordered on their end.
 
Lurking for the last couple of days - great resource.

Stats:
New customer (switching from VZW)
iPhone 6 (64 GB) Space Grey
Added JUMP! onto account
Ordered/signed EIP on 9/15 around 5:30 PM Pacific
Card charged (pending) on Wednesday (9/17)
Received "you should expect your phone to be delivered by Friday" email yesterday around 4:00 Pacific
No UPS tracking yet
Robot lady still says "processing"

Fingers crossed!

Yup, #1 reason I am switching to the iPhone. I have had so many Android devices and the camera is never satisfactory. I have an HTC One M8 right now, and well yeah the camera sucks so bad.

Test drove a 5s a month or 2 ago and really enjoyed it, figured it is time to switch camps. Plus handoff and the whole of continuity are big for me having my iPad rMini.
 
Wow. Two days now I've spent trying to get assistance in getting info on my order from T-Mobile's twitter support and John Legere. Two separate occasions, I've gotten a reply from T-Force rep asking for my account info to assist me. First time I gave the info, I got a canned response simply stating "A backordered status simply means we do not have the item in inventory yet." That had nothing at all to do with my question, and I replied as such. No response.

Tried again today, got a reply form a T-Force rep asking to help. Gave my info.....and nothing since.

Great customer service, T-Mobile. Just...stellar.
 
Now I'm even more puzzled. I got the 9/22-9/30 email.

Called last night, and the rep said this:

"Oh, looks like you're one of the lucky ones who will actually receive their phone on Friday."
Me- "uhh, are you sure?"
"Yes."

Pretty sure he was lying to me, but now I don't know what to think. T-mobile is giving me more mixed signals than a bisexual boyfriend. Ugh.

Same boat as me. Feel confident you'll get it on Friday?

Not really. :) But, my cases are not going to be here until next week so I'm not in a terrible rush. I once dropped a brand new Nexus 7 on concrete within a week of getting it that did not have a case. It didn't survive. From that moment on, I vowed never to leave the house with a portable electronic device without some sort of protection.
 
Just spoke to a rep and I know they aren't exactly reliable but I thought I should share what I was told in case anyone is in a similar situation..
I asked her about my order and why other people have received their shopping information even though they ordered hours or even days after me and she said that shipping alerts will be emailed until 5:00 pm EST today and you will receive an email by then if your phone is shipping today but she can't check any orders specifically to see whether or not they will be shipped.
 
Just got a new text from TMO:

"We are shipping iPhone orders today using overnight delivery. Check www.tmobile.com for tracking information"

Silver 6+ 64
1:32pm PDT 9/12
New customer
Usless order status page for new customers: "Order Placed"
Her Robo Ladyship: Backordered

I could be content with the S5/N3 or G3 camera. Prefer pure(ish) android however. Have played extensively with 3rd party roms but sometimes I just want a phone that works. The 2nd gen Moto X seems like a perfect phone for me except it seems the camera is lacking again. I'm lucky enough to usually have a flagship iphone and android at the same time but the larger screen + io8 pretty much made me happy enough to forget about what Google's doing. Android L does look interesting though.

I am in the same exact boat. Thats why I settled with the M8. The Note 3 was nice, (I had one for 4 months) but I couldnt get past TouchWiz. When I first got my M8 I converted it to GPE and ran that for a while, but that made the camera unusable. The MotoX(2) caught my eye, but the battery, design and camera all killed it for me.

I still have the Note 3, with Nova Launcher and custom icons. The green phone icon was burning my eyes.

My $356.76 charge (from 9/12) has been removed as of this morning. I only have $167.48 from (9/16) now. No other changes.

I have no other updates. Nothing. I don't believe I am getting the phones tomorrow. No order changes. Nothing on the phone.

Thank you for adding new customer.
Since i have a 6+ 64 as well (gray) - new customer and ordered 8+ hours earlier... I hope I'm getting something sometime.

I am actually a current Tmobile prepaid customer, but the group that closest matches my situation is New Customer. I have no idea if being a prepaid customer would change anything, and I honestly have no idea how it would, but I just thought I'd throw out that data point.
 
Sill waiting on an overnight text. My ETA briefly showed back on my account and showed the 19th, and then went away. So hoping for the best since I did pay for overnight.
 
Ok, so if no shipping info tonight who else is going to line up at the Apple store?

I'm going for the 6+ with 64 or 128 in space grey in either TMo, Verizon or AT&T flavors at this point.
 
Ok, update

Friday Text and email: check
Charged charged (pending): check
UPS Shipping label created: no
Pre-Order status on T-Mobile: check

Will I get my phone Friday?!?!?!
