I wasn't expecting launch day either but I leave for Iceland next Sunday and it's crazy rainy over there. Was excited about the ip67 and the dual camera. Maybe something changes next week. 7plus 128gb black. 9/27-10/10 expected ship date.

I ordered the exact same one and got the exact same ESD.
 
I hear ya. Definitely do what makes ya happy.

I would never recommend JOD if you're only planning on upgrading once per year. That completely voids the awesomeness that is JOD. Promos aren't Tmo's deal. That's Apple not offering anything. This year alone, I've got a free Gear VR, free year of Netflix and a free Gear Fit2. Totally awesome.

You don't ever want to pay too much toward one device...you MUST use your 3 (min 2) upgrades per year, for JOD to work like it should. The reason is... you don't want put $300-$400 toward a single device... like if your only getting one iPhone per year. That completely defeats the purpose of JOD.

So yeah, you should absolutely quit it, if that's the case. As for no in-store JOD sales.... that's fine. It's a huge money loss for Tmo...and their in-store employees make commission. So, it's totally understandable they stopped in-store JOD upgrades. I prefer over the phone sales anyway.

I'm just thankful they haven't ended JOD all together. I'm an iPhone user, who also uses Androids. Because I love checking out new tech :) JOD makes that possible.

I see. Totally makes sense in this scenario.

So for those of you that are expecting your phone to ship out tonight:

I called UPS and was told that you can indeed schedule a Will Call/ hold for pickup at your local customer center (aka the sorting center) for pick up tomorrow.

My card was charged Tuesday, and a shipping label was created Wednesday, but no movement yet. Got the official "your device has shipped" emails from T-Mobile. I believe this indicates that T-Mobile has received the phone and fully expect to see movement tonight. I am hopeful I can pick up the devices tomorrow, but I am 100% confident that Monday will be the latest.
 
Also my delivery just says "ups" no more expedited next day. Anyone else see the same?
I checked like 30 mins ago and it said UPS Expedited Next Day. Now it just says UPS...weirdddddd...maybe we're getting Saturday shipping :D :D :D

Awesome to see they put up the money for actual boxes this time. Nothing worse than sending a damn near $1000 device in a bag!

Why would they put it in a bag? Are you saying all T-mobile preordered iPhones won't come in it's original packaging / box?
