I ordered a 32GB Matte Black from T-Mobile at 12:04 am pacific and have a 9/19-926 quote. Have the same quote for my daughter's rose gold placed at 3:30 am pacific.
walked into my local t-mobile store today at 11am - traded in my iPhone 6 - 64 GB, and preordered a 128 gb matte black iPhone 7
Shipping by 9/15-9/16
no line, no nothing, quite straightforward.
trade in process/evaluation was quick as well
Now for the monthly EIP, with the trade-in deal, I'm not paying monthly for it correct? thats what the reps told me, that as long as I remain with them for 24 months, they take care of the monthly EIP

My brother preordered the 32GB Matte Black about an hour ago and his shipping estimate is 9/15-9/16.
I know, I find it so much fun. So far for me the preorder parties have been:
iPhone 6
S6
iPhone 6S
S7
Note7
iPhone 7
I almost want to preorder phones just to be part of the fun
Edit - On that note, I am so glad Chrome remembers my PW for this site because I only use the account once a year lol
I was hoping they could do something like this for me as well.. they were able to spread the down payment over 24mos?
please provide more details and how you did it
thanks
had someone contact me from the pres office. can do this by emailing john legere. explained in detail last night (2 hours on phone, hung up on, no promised call back in the morning) and she worked with me.
I don't get it, I ordered at 12:03am (Jet Black 7 Plus 128GB) and i'm getting a "09/27/2016 to 10/24/2016" ship date. Should I call them or something? Clearly, I pre-ordered early.
Same here.
You're not missing anything. You're going to be among the first people to get the Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus, congratulations!
Just recall that people who first ordered the Black Stainless Steel Watch one and a half years ago had to wait several months to get their Watches—the Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus is better in terms of stock availability.

Presidents office is what it's called? Wow I hope I can pull this. Spent my entire yesterday confirming what info they had on hand. Was told NO downpayment no matter what. Couldn't believe it asked for confirmation several times and got it. 12:01am came around, and downpayment. Was so disappointed. Called in and spend an hour and a half and was told nothing can be done a senior rep would contact me in the morning. Nothing as of yet. Pretty bummed
My brother ordered a regular iPhone while yours is a plus. Maybe that's why there's a difference in shipping estimates.
What confuses me are the people who ordered the same phone but are getting shipping estimates later than him when they ordered before him.

I wouldn't be to worried about ship dates. Last year we went into a store on pre order day to switch from att, estimated shipping was over a month but they arrived on launch day. The year before that when I pre ordered my 6+ in gold (which was in the same high demand position jet black appears to be in) estimated shipping was 2 months but got it on launch day. Went into t-mobile today and estimated shipping for jet black 7+ 128GB is November. Would be surprised if I don't get it on launch day or within a week of launch.
Usually a safe bet that first day pre orders will arrive on launch day. Maybe it really will be different this year but I doubt it.

If you get this far in the thread you are thinking
1. I might be screwed!
2. I am in good shape.
Here is reality - Once the phone has been ordered and you are satisfied with the lease / billing / trade-in issues - You are in wait and see mode. You don't have any more control over the situation than 1) wait 2) cancel order
All you get from all the anxiety of checking your status over and over is more anxiety.
My personal experience (I have ordered / stood in line / for every iPhone) is that at the point the order is finally in process, there are 1000's of people and tens of thousands of moving parts that are trying to get millions of phones to millions of addresses. There will be mistakes and it will be painful.
T-Mobile and others want you to have the new phone. Each day you have the phone they make $$$$.
It will ship to you as soon a possible.
The dates, tracking information and other things people figure out, are maybe right or maybe wrong. You won't find out until the phone arrives. My experience says order the phone on day 1 and most people get it on release day. Some get it a few days later and some a few weeks. However millions of people get phones. You have a very good chance to get a phone, no matter what your order says, if you ordered in the first 12 hours.
We will also know a lot more about supply once the devices start to arrive at people homes. You are very likely to never see a shipped status, get a tracking # or even know the phone is in process. Towards the end of the logistics process the system is so over loaded the customer data is not updated in real-time or even over night. After about Tue/Wed of next week don't expect the order status to be accurate.
You will just have to wait for the first wave to arrive between Friday and Monday.
Then a lot will be much more clear..

I know it's alot of moving pieces.. but they're making big money during these times and should have processes and people in place to handle the demand.
Is the $1 hold only happening for web orders? I got all confirmations except the $1 hold and I ordered by calling 611.
People do their best ... lots of people working hard to make this all work. Some things won't work as planned.
Remember these corporations are staffed with real people who are working their 8 hours just like the rest of us.
