I got a text this morning saying my T-Mobile device had shipped. I assumed it was my Cellspot because there's already a label for that in UPS. However, when I check my order status for my iPhone (6+ 64gb sg), it says shipped. It doesn't have a tracking number on the order page, but the text had a tracking number, and that number is different than the one for the Cellspot.

When I plug the new number into UPS, nothing comes up. And of course I'm about to leave to go camping for the weekend where I won't have internet, so I have no clue when it will arrive, and since the label isn't available online yet, I can't pre-sign for it. Le sigh.
 
I finally got my two iPhone 6 plus what an adventure that was.
They came in a bubble white envelope both of the boxes were dinged up.
 
I spoke to tmobile and it is prepared for shipping for Monday. Should have it Wednesday or Thursday. 🙂
 
6 plus 16GB Space Gray

TMobile Chat rep just told me my order is scheduled for delivery September 25. He would not confirm nor deny that I received the Friday delivery text message in error, but said it was system generated and sent to all customers.

6 plus 16GB Space Gray

When did you order?
 
I'll get used to the size. If the 6 would have had a better battery I would have got that.

Same reason i went with the 6+ the better battery life sold me on it! And i have big hands and every phone feels tiny in my hands so hopefully it'll work out just fine. Congrats dude! enjoy your phone!
 
Are you having second thoughts about getting the plus?

It is huge and a bit awkward to hold and almost no app actually takes advantage of it, but we surfing it SOOO nice on it. So, I'm almost regretting getting the larger one, but I think I'll get used to it.

Well the phone has been out for a day, so app devs will start taking advantage of it. I remember the letterbox on the 5 when it came out.

So Apple will sell these outright, now? (for full price?) Seems like it used to be they'd only sell them if you had a VZW account and line you were upgrading-- you had to go to a Verizon store to buy them off contract. If so, nice!

Yes, it you manage to find one in a B&M store w/o reserving online.

However, to reserve it online for store pickup, Apple will not allow buying the Verizon device w/o (A) New line, (B) Add a line or (C) Upgrade.

What I did was, open a line with VZW thru Apple.com, and reserved the iPhone 6+ for store pickup. Sure, I signed a contract, but I'll pay the ETF after a month and with all monthly charges + proration, I will still only end up paying the MSRP for the device.

Plus, Verizon devices [ esp now ] fetch a higher resale value since it has the CDMA plus GSM radios enabled.
