I jizzed in my pants
Hopefully it does.
Might need to offer correction, some have already started to ship as per US shipments.
Got a tip for us?

This is what I went with. Never been on T-Mobile before but upcoming 4G, unlimited data and tethering sold it for me.
T-mobile isnt getting 4G. EE is, and you would need to sign up to another contract which will include 4G at a premium.
I know. Hence the reason I went with T-Mobile. We do not know yet whether there will be a premium or not.
Just be happy you actually HAVE a status. Not everyone even have working tracking numbers.6 days to go! C'mon status change to shipped
Just got up and first thing I did was to check my order status. I think this will be my daily ritual all next week!
I just ordered one speaking to customer services, I got a tweet from them saying call or visit a store and they will give you one.
Went I went in on Friday the store said they wouldn't have any till launch day, but looks like that changed.
I'd double-check that 'activation' bit. I'm on giffgaff and hoping to stay with them with my iP5 but will need to cut/sand my sim down, which may or may not work - giffgaff won't do their own nano-sims for ages.
I wanted to have a Three one month contract nano-sim to hand in case I buggered my giffgaff sim and went through the motions of ordering one. I assumed the contract wouldn't begin until i activated the sim. The CS rep explicitly told me (and went off to check) that Three's contracts start when you have the sim in-hand, not when it's activated.
I backed out at that point because I understand their CS to be dreadful and couldn't face cancelling with Three (they 'need' 30 days notice also, so that one month rolling contract suddenly becomes minimum two) if my giffgaff cut-down works ok and I don't need Three after all.
Maybe it's different if you sign-up in store but they were very clear about online ordering.
Just sold my 16gb iPhone 4 on eBay for £260. Legit buyer and already have the money in my account! Everything about this iPhone 5 purchase is running so smoothly.. Pre orders have never been this way!
Now I have to survive without a phone till Friday!

£260 for an iPhone 4! You did well. I was thinking about £200 is all I'd get for my 32gig.
I ordered mine 08:05. My balance is full amount still, like yours, but available balance is the amount of an iPhone less too. However mine still says processing.
It was pretty much brand new. I had a fault with the mic in July and with apple care the apple store in covent garden replaced it with a new one..
That's payed for half my iPhone 5 so happy days!
That's because they've done a "pre-auth" for the amount, Apple won't claim the amount until it ships iirc
Just to clarify on the money thing. I work for a company that sell online. When you make a purchase your payment is stored (or reserved) until the company release it. This is typically when the goods are dispatched. As long as you can see the money is reserved (ie not in your available funds) your good to go. If you are not sure call your bank and clarify.
This. Call your bank if you have issues with your payment. My payment got rejected twice, when I rang natwest up they said because it was a high amount of money, that they had put a temporary block on the card. 2 minutes later she got rid of the block and I ordered the iPhone! Banks usually have good customer service too.
Orange in store reservations
Hi
Has anyone any experience of reserving phone for collection at an Orange store? If so how quickly did you get at launch?
Am leaving O2 after many years as through my employer I get 20% on 'most' Orange tariffs so am am hoping I might be able to get this on the 5 next week........but this needs to be done in store and not online (as need to take ID/payslips). I went into my local Orange store on Friday and paid £25 deposit and they said they would call when model I want comes into stock on first come first served basis! I realise no guarantees on discount or stock but hoping I don't have to wait too long as need to post my 4s to O2 recycle around Thursday to get my £305 trade in price I signed up to last Monday!

Strange what plan have you got? They took off tethering on the full monty plan last month or so, it says tethering isn't included in its packages anymore.
Not sure about if you upgrade though, but if you just signed the contract then you won't be permitted to tether after 8th August.
If I remember correctly, once Apple have shipped the iPhones it often goes to preparing for shipment and once they reach the UK or Europe atleast it changes to shipped.
