Can't wait for my call. I should have just ordered from Apple and called it a day.

I almost feel like emailed to thank them for the call, but letting them know that it was pointless if there was no change. All the call did was frustrate me after having a relaxing weekend.
 
Well, I got my 16gb SG+ today :) After reading everyone's comments about returning the 6+ because it was too big, I was surprised by how not big it was.

Here's a little comparison with my iPad mini and iPhone 5.

I like that black front its nice. ^

Yeah I have smaller girl hands and its fine in my hand. I do most tasks with 2 hands anyways.

Lol ya no kidding but worst case if each plane was carrying 1million phones each thats 30 million split into 4 and its close to 8.5 million each carrier

----------

Sorry 7.5 million

Welp, I get the impression T-mo is low on the totem for Apple. Am I wrong? They act like T-mo is the stepchild, then throw how T-mo blew the launch.. its like the perfect storm.
Really tho, I don't think they are being fairly divided among the carriers. You have major retailers selling them too and signing people up for those other carriers, its kinda screwed.
It does seem that whatever T-mo is getting they aren't replenishing stores but focusing on the all the online orders- thankfully! Now if only they could fulfill them in sequence!

I read somewhere too they are only cranking out a fraction of the 6+ compared to the 6. I imagine apple cracking the whip but don't know how many units were produced this week. Anyone got idea about that?

So freaking nice! I don't think it will be too big at all, looks sweet!
Enjoy!

Yay! Congrats! :D

I wonder why some peoples' backorder dates are changing? Mine went to backorder on 9/13, re-backordered on 9/26, and hasn't changed since. Of course, now that I said that... it'll probably change to 12/31/2029.

CONGRATS on getting off the waiting-forever list!

I don't think the 6+ is ginormous either... I think the people who think it is have only ever held/used an iPhone. The Plus is barely bigger than the LG G2 I'll be ditching (well, it's taller because the aspect ratio is different, but it's no wider... and a 5.5" display vs. the G2's 5.2"). The only reason I switched away was the screen size and always said if Apple makes a bigger screen iPhone I'd be back to iOS.
 
Just checked and Pending Shipping changed to BackOrder 09/29/2014 at 03:51:52 AM. So I guess I'll have to wait another 2-4 weeks. Oh well :):rolleyes:.

I hope today will be the day all the 9/19 delivery texts people get their phones! After the initial excitement of receiving it, setting it up, etc I'm a little meh, it's about time lol. It's nice of course, but I'm not blown away. Probably because of all the drama since I ordered it.

And just FYI, it is possible to cancel phone orders. I ordered a second phone because I was sure something was wrong with my first order and when the exec guy called last Thursday to say I would be getting this one, he asked if I wanted to cancel the second order and I said yes. He took care of it for me and I received email notifications that it had been cancelled.
 
If anyone else gets a call from the Executive Team, let us know how it went and if you got any new info.

The rep that called me seemed to be under the impression that my phone was there in their warehouse but no label was created and it wasn't packaged yet.

Yeah, I hope it's possible, and without any more drama. Among the bazillion different things I've been told during this saga, I was told by two reps that I could cancel anytime before it shipped, and a 3rd rep told me "once it's backordered it can't be canceled, you'd just have to refuse shipment."

----------

Anybody got charged today?? They should have started charging by now. :confused::confused:

I just checked my card account a few minutes ago (for the first of what I'm sure will be several times today), and nothing yet. :(

Sadly, I don't think being charged is necessarily indicative of anything anymore, just like the status changes. The only surefire way of knowing you'll have a phone soon is to have a working (scanned) tracking number. :mad:

No charge for me either
 
I still can't figure out why pre-orders aren't filled. Makes no sense. I understand the backorder process and having limited phones, but geez. Hopefully you all get some kind of update. I had a feeling this would happen which was the reason why I didn't go after the 6+

I'm tempted to call. I'm tired of waiting.

Thought the same as you. Ordered my 6 gold 64 same day as you and currently resided to the fact that I'll get my phone at some point after the apocalypse
 
Was really hoping to wake up and see my phone had moved. Still nothin. Label created Friday at 5 am, charged Friday afternoon.

Same, we had a ship date of today and called ups for them to tell us its coming, but they said the exact opposite. "You shipper hadn't send it yet"

Congratulations! It's here!! Mine's on the UPS truck on it's way to me :D I was worried it was going to be too big after hearing and reading some comments. Nice to see the comparison to the mini. :cool:
 
Dangit, missed my ERT callback because I was in a meeting. He left a message basically saying nothing, that he hope mine would ship in the next day or two (didn't sound too confident, probably just putting me off until the next follow-up call on Thursday), and that he would keep checking to see if my tracking begins to work (don't worry, I'm already doing that myself every couple of minutes).

So uh, basically even ERT is now just in "we'll let you know when we let you know" mode. :mad:

I have ZERO doubt I would've been better off (or at least no worse) placing a new order a few days ago.

Just got a follow up call, exec member told me that he doesn't know why my order hasn't been fulfilled even though it was placed on the 12th. He also stated that I should be getting my phone with this shipment of phones that came in but at this point and with the ways things were happening he wasn't sure. He sent me the router free of charge and with free shipping. He admitted that this pre-order was a complete mess.

I asked if I could be shipped any color in 64 or 128g that became available first but was told he couldn't do that for me. Back to checking refreshing my tmobile, ups, and my chase account waiting for a change.:mad:
 
can someone please aware me on how to check the source code of my order to determine an expected date? ive heard a few people in this thread mention this. thsnk you,
