I think the X will be a pain since I'm pretty sure more people want that than the 8
I think so too; yet, many that I have seen post/talk about it have steadfastly said it costs too much and they will be opting for the 8. (Talking about social media and with others in person, not the MacRumors sample pool)

My EIP order isn't showing up either. I read elsewhere that T-Mobile prioritizes Jump/JoD orders, for what that's worth. It might also explain why I had to pay big $$$ for overnight shipping, maybe JoD buyers get a break on that.

Am I tripping or are the pre-order supposed to be free overnight?

This was DEFINITELY not as busy as normal iPhone launches. My order just got completed and I still have launch day delivery. I got a bad rep with my phone call appointment, so I went through T-Force via Twitter which was surprisingly time consuming.

That's what I thought going in, as I swear I read something official from T-Mo that this would be the case.

Last year for the 7 pre-order I just got it on all 3 orders without saying or paying anything extra. I wonder what happened this time around.

Not sure. I'll probably call them tomorrow and inquire about the shipping stuff.

It's almost 3 AM here and I should get to bed, but jeez I just want to see my order show up in order status on the website first...LOL.

Same exact boat... about to be 3 am but I keep checking the order status. But I think I'll head to sleep, got work at 9.

True, I heard alot would want to try the 1st gen new OLED than the 8. Probably not paying up full cost up front but either through carrier or Apple financing options.

I just got this worrisome text from T-Mo on the line I upgraded.

"Free T-Mobile Msg: Thanks for your order! Supply is very limited and no shipping estimate is currently available for your T-Mobile order xxxxxx. Check out http://t-mo.co/tmo_check_order for updates to your shipping estimate and status while your order processes"

Yet simultaneously, I received the order confirmation email stating estimated ship date of 9/21-9/22 with UPS Expedited Next Day shipping. (Also: they charged me tax on shipping? Seriously?)

At least it's finally showing up on the order status page. I'm cautiously optimistic.

I've gotten no texts or emails and the order went through according to the rep and everything :(

I haven't gotten any texts but I received an esign email and then the confirmation. It's probably taking longer for the emails to go out because so many are calling right now. I bet you'll have it by morning. Well.. when you wake up anyways. Hahah

Same thing here. I assume it’s an automated precaution they put in place for all the orders since it’s usually a @$&# show. lol

All my orders show up on my account and everything. First year I have had them all go through.

I bet you're right. It looks like we might be OK here and it's safe for me to get some sleep now, LOL. Thanks.

Good luck to all of you with preorders!

Got the EIP email! Signed :apple:
[doublepost=1505462988][/doublepost]So I was told overnight shipping, and that I'd get the phone on release day. But now I'm starting to get the texts saying they don't know when it'll be shipped :mad:

Mytmobile.com still says 9/21-9/22 for shipping though. So...now we wait hahah

Is it saying "partially preorder" for anyone else?

I could of sworn I was a JOD but when I called they wanted to charge me a down payment and $20 fee. I ended it bc I need sleep and will call back when I wake up for work, but a little annoyed right now.

They said I have JOD but I had to pay a $99.99 down payment plus that $20 fee, and taxes :confused:

Can't believe how much of a breeze this was! Super impressed this year.

Earlier today on the web I saw that the Plus might be $80 down and $30/month but I got it for $0 down and $33/month. Anyone else? Maybe it's because I'm on JoD.

Yeah that's what I got. Very easy process. I ordered about 4am though so I'm not sure exactly when the phone will be delivered. Ordered the 64gb Silver.
