Excuse my ignorance but is there an app like signal check pro I can download??

You can get into field test mode by dialing *3001#12345#*

 

You'll get a screen like this:

Ah, the real delay is that once accessories are picked out, people are signing up for new service. That's awesome.

[smalltimehack]

Wait times in excess of an hour to pick up my preorder - it's the full court accessory press at my Sprint Store.

 

45 minutes from closing, and this place is still packed. It's crazy.

My store was pretty slammed too. I walked in and only waited 20 min though before someone recognized me and grabbed my phone and pulled me to a computer. Recycled my 5s towards my bill and got a screen protector and off I went. I love this thing already. I know it's the same crap just shinier than last year but who cares when it looks this damn good?

I am very satisfied with this phone but I'm really impressed with how well this phone holds a lte signal. I have a HTC one m8 as well as a 5s and the m8 does not hold a lte signal too well and would drop to 3g pretty easily.

Got my 6 - Space Grey 64GB. Activated at home. A quick online chat to change my plan to the new $50 Unlimited. Easy as can be. My aging eyes love the bigger screen. 

 

Wife and I got our iPhone 6's today.  Love it so far.  Always like Apple but left iPhone when the 5 came out for the bigger screens.  Came back now and am very happy.  

 

I am debating now what I want to do with my plan.  We are in a full framily.  It is just my wife and I and 8 people that used my code when I posted to reddit.  The $50 unlimited is tempting since it would be locked in pricing with no worry of anybody dropping.  I think trying to add new people now may be a pain since Framily is a buried plan now.  But my wife does not use a lot of data (does not even use the one gig on Framily) so I feel like I am overpaying to put her on unlimited.  Decisions decisions.

Are you getting the 6+ ? ... I noticed today no change on the Sprint "order status" website.. so called them... I was told my iPhone 6+ should ship in about 5 days.. on the site there is nothing..

Yeah 6+ 16GB in space gray. Ordered the 16th.

Hello I'm a noob to these forums, I been with Sprint for the past 10 years. Never had 4 bars at home until I bought the iPhone 6. Can someone explain this screenshot to me?

What's everyone using for cases? I was going to go naked but I had an incipio dualpro I borrowed from work to try out and it actually feels really nice. My neo hybrid will be here Monday too.

B41. Spark. This is why we tell people to get triband phones, which the iphone 6 now is.

I have a wimax antenna right across the street from me, I assume I'm getting B41 from there?

I went with this Spigen http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LL63WH0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 A little bulkier than I usually like. I'm leasing, though, so wanted a little more protection (hopefully).

The rep also said "because you ordered it Tuesday you'll likely have it within the week.. If you had ordered the 6+ today (launch day) it would've been 3 or 4 weeks"

 

I'm using a 5c.. And this 6+ is for my wife.. But planning on getting a 6 or 6+ for myself later

I love Monoprice. The MFI certified lightning cables are so great. I have two 6' cables at work.

Same here, love those cables, car chargers are good too.

got my 6+ a couple of hours ago, currently trying to kill the battery so I can charge it up to 100% overnight. proving to be harder than expected.

I haven't left the house with it, so I haven't experienced b41 yet..hopefully that'll happen tomorrow.

On another note, I have to say, the slow motion is honestly great. Wow.

i killed my 6 pretty quickly. Texting and downloading 1000 songs back onto my phone through wifi did a pretty good job of taking me from 63% to 1% before I plugged in.
