The ones with the stainless steel case (but sports band) start at $549. If I were to get one, I would want the stainless case with at least a stainless steel band, not sports band. They start at like $649. Too much money to spend on a watch
sports bands start at 349.00
 
Phone is finally on truck for delivery today! Woo hoo! Those who have theirs already, how has it fared inside of buildings with the 700 mhz capabilities?

I haven't had any luck with the 700 mhz band at work, and I thought that this area had it. I'm a little disappointed because that was my primary reason for getting this phone (there was nothing wrong with my 6+). The one difference is that with my 6+, i generally had my LTE setting on data only and never had any connection problems. However, using this setting on Friday caused me to miss phone calls that night. So, I changed it to data and voice and it works fine, that I can tell.
 
yes its going to take a while to get here :( mm i bought it at the apple store i got the sport watch 42mm rose gold i paid $430 something close to that. Depends on the model you want but u can always change the bands.
So no one got one from T-Mobile the Apple Watch that is when they had the promotion on the 25th??

Hmmm, I had done a Test Drive with the 5s and didn't get much coverage inside the building, hopefully this will help to fix that. But I guess if not, then their lifetime coverage guarantee should help unlock it then eventually.

So every time I think my order is done and I can enjoy the new phone something else pops up. I should say that everyone at T mobile is fantastic to work with and they always want to help you. But as a company there are too many mistakes being made. Lots of them on my account over the just less than 2 months I've had the account. My pre order mistakes were crazy (ended up with a charge of $430 for the new phone due to mistakes).
Now on the return of the 6+, I went to the store on Saturday to return the phone as requested. The store staff had to call to the customer care desk to get them to "fix it" so they could take back my phone. They were able to do the return and I have paper work showing this. This afternoon I received a call (automated) saying that I had not signed my EIP for my order! Knowing that I had in fact and have already received the new phone, I called 611 and found that someone (we guess when they were "fixing it" ordered me ANOTHER new phone (and the wrong one as well).

Long story short- It seems to be important to be very much on top of your phone orders and your account. Mistakes are rampant. Staff will be helpful, but you must be vigilant.
 
Okay so UPS was supposed to deliver to me friday but the trailer didn't come in until later so the phone wasn't on the truck. I requested to pick it up on Saturday morning but it wasn't available and they told me it would be ready today. Come to find out they messed up again cancelled my hold and put my phone on the truck this morning but it is not scheduled to deliver today so it will stay there and earliest I can get it is tomorrow. I HATE UPS with a passion.
 
My phones out for delivery since this morning at 5A.M, but it won't come till 2-6P.M. The suspense is killing me....

Did you have to return everything (Box, Charger, Cable and Headset)? The store I went to wanted everything returned.

I thought Boston had it but I've since been corrected (I guess it's in the works). I don't know if there is a good way to know for sure lol.

It's unbelievable but not a single store in San Antonio was in participation! Closest was still at least 45 minutes away in another city.

I called customer service to see if they could do EIP on a watch. Told me, only in stores. So for now, I'll pass on it. =)
