Tracking flights of iPhone 4's from China?

Nah I never said you guys were losers. Just suggested getting a hobby. And I's just as excited for the phone. The only reason I joined is b/c I need geeks to give me good info and the latest updates on this kinda stuff.

Lots of us have hobbies. Having a hobby has nothing at all to do with tracking a plane.

How would you know exactly what plane your iPhone 4 is on?

We dont know specifically which plane each persons phone is on. But they usually come over here in huge bulks to different places in the country. If you live on east coast it will probably go from china to alaska to louisville/lexington, ky then on to your closest city.
 
I still say loser and add get a life....I saw this post and couldnt believe someone would track an item knowing its not going to arrive until the 24th. People did this on the IPAD and guess what it didnt come early. If you know apple they hold items at one location and then release and ship. It may be held for who knows how long. Shipping often not correct either...But hey maybe you have nothing better to do...

I'm guessing you're way too busy to read a few English textbooks and grammar handbooks. That's a shame...I wish my life was as fulfilling as yours.

I'm really interested in this but I just don't know how to track the flight. How do you get the flight #? Do you use an iPhone app to track it or a website?
 
i happen to work at an airport and we have programs that can track every single plane in the air....... just let me know the flight number, where its coming from and what day it takes off lol

example: if tracking shows something like... departs such and such city, china at 7:00, we look for a fedex plane leaving the closest airport to alaska. paulie can help us out.

we did it last year and it worked out. obviously we may not be 100% correct, but it will be good to kill time while people cant sleep and what not. yea its a phone and losing sleep over it is dumb... but FACETIME... HD VIDEO... iMOVIE

I'll track flights when they have people I know on them. I've never tracked a package flight but it sounds like fun!
 
Yes, I am pathetic enough to derive pleasure from tracking a plane full of phones.
