T-Mobile.com preorder thread

I got a call from ERT today since this my first 72 hours since writing. He called to tell me that he was happy I got my phone (wife's phone early last week) but that he say another order that was on backorder. He said he would call and give me a status update on Friday and will continue to update me until we get a tracking number. Also he suggested that my order may be an error, in that if I didn't order that phone call back to CS team and put notes on my account to cancel and he would see that it was canceled... personally I didn't like the sound of that.

Still seems like I get more information reading between the lines of this thread then I get from any level at T-Mobile.

BTW I am 9/16 order, I understand that I am going to be waiting for a bit but at least Apple can give me a timeframe if I ordered through them.

That's nearly a grand and would obliterate my fragile college student budget # (I was saving to buy a Macbook). A part of me could just return it when the tmo phone finally shows up....whenever.

just a protip, if you are on a strict college budget, a macbook is the last thing you should be considering. they are grossly overpaid for what they are. get a $400 windows 8.1 laptop and it will more than get the job done. I understand this is a mac website and you probably prefer mac os over windows but at your stage in life you should focus more on functionality and cost effectiveness. windows 8.1 is actually a great OS , much better than previous windows.

I wouldn't say it's strict. I'm just insanely cheap. I wasn't planning on buying a macbook full price. I was going to just get one a year older from my school (employee discount+school discount+year old discount) takes off a good 550 on it, so I only would be spending about 600 or so dollars on it. Although I have my eye on the Lenovo Yogas. I'm currently using Windows 8.1 and love it.

Buy a windows computer and do virtualization :) make it look like a mac that's what I did with mine
 
ERT called me (different one from the last time) for the 72hr check up. No change. No estimates. No clue. Talk to you Friday.

Jeeze, thanks.

Yeah, that's why I emailed them this morning, whats the point of calling if you aren't relaying relevant info?

You may also want to look at a used Macbook. I've still got my aluminum Macbook from 2008. Upgraded RAM and SSD, and I can still upgrade it to Yosemite. You could get one that is a few years old. In the long run it will probably last longer than a new Windows machine.
 
Tried lining up this morning in Sacramento. No Tmobile came in with this latest influx. God i wish I'd just kept my ATT a little while longer and done the switch AFTeR the 6 came out

You can take your 6's into T-Mobile and just port your current numbers if you are concerned about being without a phone. If you're not after 6+ then you might be able to find phones in store too. I would call a store and ask if they have any 6's and if they do, just go in and port your numbers to T-Mobile.

the iP6 are not paid off and I don't want to invest that much that is why.
So mostly this madness is for 6+? That helps. Thank you
 
So i checked with @tmobilehelp on the status of my order... (quick update) tried to order on the 12th and had no luck because jump issues.. successfully ordered on the 19th.. (64 gb space grey 6 plus).. have had no updates at all, come to find out i was just told by @tmobilehelp that the order i placed would not be shipping out because i was still on a employee account when i did the order.. (i havent been a employee for 2 months now) not my fault i was still on a employee account as they convert automatically.. it converted to a retail account yesterday.. :( what would you do?

E-mail John Legere and explain your situation to him. This is defenitely an error on their end and not your fault and they should be held accountable for it IMO.
 
9/12 Pre-Order for the Unicorn and still waiting....


Anyone else still waiting for a 6+ SG 64GB? Or am I the last one??????

I see 128GB VZW SG Plusses available near me right now, but I don't want to have to open a VZW account to order it online, and I'm sure they'll be long gone by the time they open in an hour.

Same here. Would've already given up and done this if they'd sell them device-only online.

For grins I drove by my closest Apple store on Sunday about an hour before they opened and there were about 50 people waiting in line outside.
