Just joined because I stumbled upon this iPhone 7 preorder thread and I thought I'd add some info to provide more data points for people.

I woke up early to preorder last week. Had issues with the website for ~20 mins before I decided to just call support. Waited on hold for about ~30 mins and got through to a very energetic and helpful T-Mobile representative and ordered two phones to be paid via EIP:
  • A black iPhone 7 128 GB for me
  • A gold iPhone 7 128 GB for my wife
Phone orders were processed one at a time and EIP agreements were sent very shortly after the orders were placed, about 5-10 minutes. I signed the agreements immediately after I got the emails for them.

From there (all times are Central time)...
9/11 @ 8:45am - Received tracking number for black iPhone
9/11 @ 11:39pm - Payment processed email received from T-Mobile for black iPhone
9/12 @ 5:06am - Received tracking number for gold iPhone
9/12 @ 11:37pm - Payment processed email received from T-Mobile for Gold iPhone
9/12 - First payment posts (no longer pending) on credit card statement
9/13 - Second payment posts on credit card statement
9/14 - 7:08am - Both UPS tracking numbers just show "Order Processed: Ready for UPS" on UPS's website. First order's shipping label shows as being created on 9/10 and the second order's on 9/12.

I imagine I should see movement tomorrow! Though I certainly wouldn't complain if something happened today, haha.

Mine has been sitting in this state for days. At least my case is getting here before the phone this time :)

I ordered mine(7+ 128 gig gold) online on Sept 9th at around 530 AM eastern, luckily was done in about 5 minutes before I headed out to the gym. I got a charge on my amex. I anticipate a shipping notice some time today or tomorrow.

I may get it friday or some time next week, no sweat. I ordered primarily to make use of the new t-mo offer, so all good.

Still waiting for my shipping info. Boo! Checking everything. Still nothing anywhere besides them taking my money. Lol.

Yeah, I don't get that you took my money and thats it...I'm kinda like T-Mobie you're doing it wrong you take money when you ship!
