Got some news from the local store managers I've been in contact with. It's not good news. No pluses at all. The only phones they are getting are 128GB black regular 7. And each store is only getting enough to count on one hand. One store said they were only getting 2. Looks like I gambled and lost. Calling the executive office back and hopefully having her order our phones and having her "expedite" them like she offered Saturday, but it's probably going to be no help now. First time in 4 launches I won't have a phone on launch day, mostly all because of T-Mobile and the JOD fiasco.

Yeah I talked to a manager and they said the same thing, they are only getting 3. He said its because the preorder was so large they had to pull the stores inventory.

I ordered a JOD 7+ 256gb black right at 0100MST and got a 9/19-9/26 ship date. I haven't seen a lot of posts on T-Mobile shipping. I'm hoping that T-Mobile hasn't received their shipment yet. I'm betting we see movement today or tomorrow. All of the phones I have ordered had shipped from Louisville the day before it was delivered. You should see a UPS tracking number followed by a credit card charge.
I'm right there with you. My order went through a bit before midnight on 9/8 and shows the same shipping range. No CC charge yet!

I'm still debating if I want to preorder the 7+. I did preorder a 42mm Rose Gold Series 2 to be delivered on Friday.
Hey Stacey I bit the bullet I ordered lol now I'm thinking if I should also get the series 2. I try to spoil myself around this time seeing that my bday is next month and after that it's all about the kids Christmas.

I find it very strange that there hasn't been movement on a single black or jet black 7 Plus, when other carriers and apple have started charging CC's and pushing out shipping information. Either Tmobile dropped the ball big time, or Apple for some strange reason gave them very few black and jet black devices in the larger size compared to other carriers.

Managers can't disclose that type of information. I highly doubt they know. Actually I'm 100% they don't know. I work for T-Mobile

Wish I could have gotten that. I still have no updates. Not sure if I should take a chance on Friday and go down to the store to see what they have. I ordered 7 plus matte black 128 GB.

So would they know anything about the stock at all? Obviously stock will be minimal but there's a difference between having a few and none. One store I contacted also said they would only have a few 7's.

They will NOT know until they receive shipment. And they will definitely not tell anyone how much they have. It's obviously for security reasons. Anyone who discloses that kind of info can get TERMINATED immediately.

I tried ordering it right when they began after midnight but after some system problems and entering my card info too many times. I had to wait 24 hours to place the order. The lady called back and we got it done. Got the email afterwards and signed it. Been stuck at 9/27-10/10 since then with no updates or charges.

Despite apple's statements that there really won't be any 7 plus variants in stores at launch, what is interesting is that there dates for delivery for the black 128 GB has never really gone past the early to mid October ship dates. Given that they know a lot more about future deliveries than the carriers, one could find solace in this bit of information if one has a ridiculously long wait time that goes into Nov.
