Alright folks,
In total we got 143 responses for the survey, so thank you to everyone who completed it! Keep in mind I started writing this up earlier today, so those who have been charged or have updates over the past few hours may see some outdated information.
After sifting through a lot of your responses (and blatant mistypes, user errors, and generally mean things being written) here is the information on the individual types of phones ordered:
Black 32 GB
-28 responses (no charges)
-All orders # follow the order times chronology perfectly
-Orders on 9/9 before noon received 9/27-10/10 ship dates
-2 exceptions
-1 phone order at 4:00 AM Central had 9/19-9/26 dates (random, user error?)
-1 in store order
-Any orders after noon Pacific time went to 11/1-11/30 ship dates
-Someone managed to order in the future with a 10/9 order date (tell us how you did it?)
Black 128 GB
-55 responses (about ½ charged so far)
-All follow order # and time chronology perfectly
-All charged were from 9/9 preorders except one 9/15 order (user error?)
-All uncharged 9/9 orders have 9/27-/10/11 ships dates
-Exception were 3 orders (1 online checkout, 2 phone orders)
-EIP issues? No order #s given on these 3 exceptions
-Nobody has received phone
Black 256 GB
-10 responses (no charges)
-All but 1 on 9/9, and have 9/19-9/26 ship dates
-Only 2 order number responses given, so not enough data to look at
-One order number was “screw you”
-Same person was obviously upset because their estimated ship dates of 9/15-9/6 had passed. Didn’t know that range was possible (also apparently doesn't realize that I know exactly who they are once they submit the survey, thats one order I wish I could mess with)
Jet Black 128 GB
-36 responses (2 charged)
-1 ordered over phone at 12:02 AM Pacific
-1 ordered, online on 9/8 at 11:58 PM, has been received (got in early)
-only person to receive the 9/16 ship date
-After that, orders go to 9/19-9/26 time frame
-Online checkouts seem to have better ship dates
-Ship dates erratic and do not correspond well with order times
-Order #s correspond correctly with order times though
Jet Black 256 GB
-Only 5 responses (no charges)
-All orders on 9/9 morning within 1 hour of release are 9/19-9/26
-Not enough data to really dig into these orders
Silver, Rose Gold, Gold (everyone hates you <3 the Black/Jet Black lonely hearts club)
-1 Gold response, 2 Rose Gold, 6 Silver
-Only 9/9 morning preorder with no updates is a Silver 256 GB
-Silver 32 GB and 256 GB not charged (128 GB received)
-Rose Golds all received
Final Quick Hits
-No 256 GB phones have been charged
-Only 1 32 GB has been received (Rose Gold)
-Less than 1K difference in order #s (6 Minutes) made a 1 month difference in shipping dates in some cases
-Jet Black phones were pushed to 9/27-/10/10 2 minutes after release
-No in store orders have been received
-Only 2 online checkouts have been received
-Only phone orders received are Silver and Rose Gold
Finally, all order #s seem to correlate perfectly with the times these orders were placed. Even though some order #s had different formats, you can see the pattern of order #s going up as time moves forward. This was the info I was most interested in seeing so we can put to rest that anyone was "put on a priority list." Now I cant say how this correlates to orders being charged, as those were pretty erratic as well and made zero sense. For example, the very first Black 128 GB that was ordered has not been charged while most others that were ordered early that morning got charges yesterday.
Hope this helps everyone for clarification on some things. All in all I wish I had a little more information (specifically order #s) to see what the deal is with charges. Good luck to everyone in getting their phones soon!
PS. Someone call T-Mobile and put me on the coveted "John Legere Priority List" for putting this together
