It just means it’s an order that has not been fully fulfilled with delivery. My order is still a partial preorder even though it has been shipped because I have not received the device yet. Source I work for T-Mobile.
Oh okay so i should be charged anytime soon correct? Because they havent attemped after i changed my payment option, and will still be recieving my device the 2 or third?

Looking at some of the shipped orders + time of order it doesn't look like (never is the case I don't think) that orders are being shipped sequentially. I ordered 256 SG around 3:45 am eastern. I have been charged. I have not shipped. In fact I'm still "processing." Looks like others that ordered after me have shipped -- just a data point. If you concerned seeing people's orders who came after yours ship. Don't be. I have no doubt that everyone who has 11/2-11/3 on their account page will get there phone then.

so because of the bank declining the payment and all the hell i went through with 4 calls because they couldn't figure out why it kept declining when i fixed it from the bank t mobile put my phones on back order from what there saying when the other reps said don'y worry ill get it on day one my point is its not about the waiting time frame its the point and lied about it and said dont worry it will be resolved and still on day one! so those who got declined i would call and make sure your not in the same boat as me.
I’m in the same boat as well. I called 3 times today and they also said I’ll get it on Nov. 3rd. Mine still says partialpreorder and there’s a hold. Idk when they’ll charge me again since my bank (BoA) declined the initial charge and thought it was fraudulent. I have since called my bank and confirmed that it wasn’t. So now just waiting on T-Mobile to charge me again. If anybody has more info on this please let me know :)

My Estimated shipping is 11/3 - 11/10. I actually preordered the 64GB silver. Doubt I’ll see any movement anytime soon

Same thing happened last year lol. I remember people kept coming on here saying there phone shipped and it would either be the regular 7 or an unpopular color. We gave them hell lol. We started saying unless its a 7+ black or matte Black we do care. Lol.

This year I picked silver for a few reasons.

1. I figured it would probably ship sooner as not as popular.
2.Im on JOD so I can switched later if it dont like it as much.
3. I always put a case so it really doesnt matter.
4. The reason I never went with the silver in the past is because of the white front bezels. Now that the phone is bezeless it doesn't really matter.

i remember that from last year also. i agree with all the reasons why you got the silver as well.

T mobile will charge the card again tomorrow instead of today. He told me the phone will be there on Nov 3.
