Because most companies don't charge until an item actually is shipping or preparing for shipment. I know for me as a consumer, I feel you shouldn't take my money and not give me a status update as to why you took it. IJS

CC Charge most likely indicates change of status to "Processed".
i understand, but it doesn't always work that way. sometimes info gets lost, it happens. but if your card was charged, your good. that means its processing and getting ready to get to you. at least you have that comfort, i haven't gotten charged yet.
I ordered a black 128gb and a gold 128gb on 9/9. Did it by phone, talked to a real person. They did it as 2 separate orders and at the time I was told not to expect delivery until mid november. Got the EIP within minutes of the orders going through.
They both have estimated shipping between 9/27 and 10/10 but my credit card just today shows a pending charge for 1 of the orders. Both orders say UPS next day delivery as the mailing method.

oh awesome! i currently have the same time frame for shipment and i signed the EIP early saturday morning. so maybe just maybe, i'll get some info soon. :-D
FWIW just got done speaking to a T-Mobile rep that said that Sept. 19-26 orders will all ship out by or before the 19th.
There's 8 iPhone planes coming to Kentucky overnight tonight, fingers crossed!
what are the odds they are for those who placed their orders on the evening of preorder day? le sigh.
i ordered a 7+ 128gb Jet black on friday morning around 1am over the phone. When i received my eip friday afternoon i realized that the person who took my order messed it up and had ordered a 7 instead of a 7+ . I called immediately friday night and got the order redone. Of course i lost my spot in the queue and now I'm looking at a Nov 1 - Nov 30 delivery .
Sucks big time.
Sucks big time.
There have been people who ordered 32GB Jet Black 7 pluses and have had their cards charged. Also a poster in the main T-Mobile thread said that their 128GB Silver plus got charged..
So I'm thinking the Jet Blacks will probably be charged at some point tomorrow. They must be amongst the last to ship.

i did the promo, since i upgraded to the 128 gb 7 plus, i got two, so it came out to be around $440. so basically it was 220 each i believe. i haven't been charged yet. hmm i think that sounds about right lol.
Iphone 7 + Gold 32 ordered 9/9 11:45 AM card charged 9/13 11:31 AM but no changes to order status ( in progress)
I ordered the 128 silver 7 plus and my card was charged today even though my delivery range was 9/27-10 /24 I ordered early and dealt with t mobile at 1201 am on that Friday although I did not officially get the order through till 7 am on Friday. my daughter is a manager for t mobile call center on the commercial side and she says t mobile does not charge cards early.a charge indicates progress so be happy if ya get one.
It took more then 12 hours from me getting charged to getting anything to show up with UPS, so have some faith, if you were charged you'll get it. I'm hoping I didn't make the mistake of changing my shipping address to pick up at a UPS store by my office though, if I have to wait all weekend because it take an extra day I'm going to hate not calling in sick Friday.
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.
