Doing my happy dance! Took a break from the threads yesterday and today... renovating the house and decided we needed to focus on paint colors... No UPS tracking number, BUT I'm seeing a pending charge on my bank account! (marked tomorrow) Interesting since my ERT told me today that it was not likely to ship before my date of 11/10. But as LillyLand noted earlier- ERTs don't seem to be as knowledgeable as they seem. We'll see if it gets upgraded to overnight shipping...Nope. Hopefully tomorrow I had an expected ship date of 11/04 it moved to 11/14
29th Order
I ordered on the 29th 64 GB gold. Wanted the space gray but with the promise I would have it in two weeks I bit. The wait might be fun. Watching this board has been exciting

So far TMO is the only carrier to offer Wifi calling. No other carriers have this ability as of this date with the iPhone. During the release Tim Cook made mention of this being the only carrier to offer this capability on the iPhone.

Verizon iPhone 6/6 Plus are unlocked and work on TMO. I believe they are the same exact models. Wifi calling works also.
I think Verizon, ATT, TMO all have the same model iPhone 6/6 Plus. But Verizon one is unlocked no matter where you buy it from.
You are close. There are several different models depending on country (i.e. China has their own model, etc..)
List of models based on LTE bands.
More technical specs.
The model sold for T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T are the same model (IPhone 6: Model A1549 and iPhone 6+: Model A1522). The version T-Mobile sells is truly unlocked (You still need to ask T-Mobile to unlock it unless you purchased it in full at the Apple store). Essentially each phone is unlocked depending on if you are on a contact or not.
I could be wrong, don't take my exact word for it.
Edit: I found a better table that lists the differences. If you got the Verizon model, it is dual CDMA/GSM (but only CDMA for Verizon). The Global/Sprint version has more support for global networks. Maybe we should be looking into the Sprint versions?
Edit 2: Another forum identified that Verizon/T-Mobile phones are unlocked out of the box (due to some agreement with the 700mhz band). So AT&T and Sprint lock their phones. Would be really cool to get an unlocked Sprint phone as that would be the true 'global' phone.

Good morning I order a SG 6+ 64gb on 9/20 estimate shipping date was 11/1 got push back to 11/13 and my credit card got charge on the 11/1. My Phone will be deliver today in oh yea I'm luving dis Miami weather.
At least you got charged. That's good. My order changed to the 9th and I still haven't gotten charged
Mine is on the truck for delivery today!! 
It's a silver 6, 128GB, which they subbed for the silver 6, 64GB that I originally ordered in store on 9/30. I got $160 worth of bill credits and free overnight shipping throughout the whole ordeal too, so I'm pretty stoked even though I was pretty pissed for a while.

I got charged!!!!!! 6 64GB SG. Though I have a 128GB ordered to. Seems like my 64 would win the race
CC was charged and received a text on Saturday that my order had shipped. Also got an email from T-Mobile that it was being sent overnight. However, when I check my tracking number, UPS says that a label has been created but they're waiting for the shipment to arrive at their facility.
I guess any day now....???
Yeah! mine too. Have you received shipping info yet? Charge pending as of yesterday...but no tracking info, or anything on UPS...
I was only discussing the Verizon, ATT, and TMO models. I know China has their own specia TDMA versions.
Same with me. I was fired up when I finally saw the charge on Saturday morning. Knowing my luck with T-Mobile I am still a little worried since I have not gotten my tracking yet as I am leaving on Wednesday for 3 weeks. Congrats to those that got charged Saturday and are getting theirs today. I wish I was one of you!
