  1. Same here.  No update on the status (ordered Saturday morning).  Maybe Apple will teleport my new phone to the Sprint store tomorrow?

     

    Wow so those of you who preordered at a Sprint store haven't had any updates either?  Maybe there is still a 10% chance that they will have my preorder at the store tomorrow.  I just preordered my 64GB 6 yesterday over lunch though, so probably not...  But it is a little bit more encouraging that others who preordered at a store haven't had any updates either.

     

    I am pretty sure you guys have nothing to worry about since you got the order in last weekend.  Or was your order a 6+? 

  2. So, does anyone with a tracking number actually have tracking info yet??

     

    The one I ordered for my wife on the 12th has a tracking number, but on UPS it says they are still waiting for the shipment to be dropped off at their facility. 

     

    I am pretty sure her device will come in tomorrow, but I am thinking mine won't show up until Monday since I ordered it yesterday.  Oh well.  I plan on doing a rather intensive RF comparison between my N5 and her iPhone 6 over the weekend.  I'll probably have her phone more than she does.  :lol:

  3. Well, my wife's phone has a tracking number.  I haven't received an email from Sprint yet, and on their order page there still isn't a tracking number, but since I'm signed up for UPS My Choice I happened to log in and see it there for an expected delivery of 9/19.

     

    Even if I end up not getting mine on Friday, at least I can play around with her device and compare its RF performance to my N5.

  4. So is the word around here that the regular iPhone 6's should be in stock at most Sprint stores on Friday even for people without preordering? 

     

    I am hoping that I can just walk into a store Friday morning and come out with a 64GB iPhone 6 (silver or gray, I don't care).  All of the stores I called have said they can't guarantee a pre order being there Friday, but they "may" have some additional supply.

  5. Awesome! Glad yours is resolved. I need to call and see what they will do for me. I'm banking on hope that there will be a iPhone 6 Plus 128GB in Gold in store for me on Friday morning.

    It took a lot of calls and being a little firm.  Everyone kept directing me to different people, but finally I threatened to remove the one line from my account and go with a different provider (empty threat, my full discount Framily has me locked to Sprint for awhile), and then the rep talked with her manager and got it reset within 5 minutes.

     

    I would definitely call.  I know we were both initially told up to 5 days, but she said it takes 5-10 days for it to reset on its own (which frustrated me more since I was told up to 5 days by EVERY person I talked to before her). 

  6. In my personal opinion, Silver is much nicer.

     

    On a regular note, my easy pay date is still November 1st. :(

    It switched mine from Nov 1st to Jan 1st... Starting to get concerned. I want to go to a Sprint store Friday morning and scoop one up.

  7. I am legit surprised that the phone is so popular.....I think we have a lot of android people with bigger phones like the note, switching over....As an iPhone user, I am going to be okay with the 6, but the 6+ is still to big enough for me. 

     

    Yeah I'm going with the 6 instead of the 6+.  The N5/G2 is about as big as I would ever want to go.  The 6+ just looks incredibly big with the top and bottom bezels. 

     

    I need to make some calls this evening and decide which store I am going to at open.  I hope the one that I drive by on my way to work everyday will have some 6's for grabs.

  8. Stores haven't received phones yet but if you are there at open you should have no problem getting a 6....a 6plus im not sure about all i hear about them is they will be in very short supply and back ordered.

     

    Maybe I'll go that route and just go into the office a little late Friday.  If I do though, I will probably be VERY unproductive B) .

  9. That's the crazy thing. They originally said 5 days, and then on Friday it changed to immediate, then yesterday it changed to November 1st. So I'm hoping that by Wednesday it'll change back to immediate.

    Almost the same thing happened to me.  I paid mine off on Friday (tried Thursday, but I won't get into that), and yesterday it switched to Nov. 1st, 2014 from originally being April 1st, 2015. 

     

    I called Sprint because I assumed that it processed through their system and just went to the wrong date since the person said it takes UP to 5 days, but he said it could go through almost immediately.

     

    The Sprint rep assured me that it would be reset within the next few business days.  He said at the absolute worst, I should be able to use easypay this Thursday.

  10. in my experience, while nexus 5 does excel on band 25, my m8 vastly outclasses my nexus 5 on usability on all bands.

     

    Yeah the N5 isn't all that great in RF anymore.  Pretty average for LTE if you ask me.  My G2 keeps up with it now and is maybe even a little better.

     

    The N5 is great though at keeping a very usable 3G signal.  That is where it completely smokes my G2.

  11. Interesting.  So I paid off my easypay device and in My Account for the device, it shows, "You have no agreement or your agreement with us is complete."

     

    However, I first joined Sprint last November and technically my 2 year contract doesn't end until November of 2015.  I was one of the kind of lucky ones that joined Sprint just early enough to qualify for the Framily plan without the additional fee ($15 or something per line?).

     

    I thought that my contract would still run until next November regardless, but since I bought a easypay device and paid it off I don't have that contract anymore?  Does the easypay installment agreement completely take over and void the 2 year contract?

     

    Oh well...  Now hopefully they update my easypay status since the old device has officially been marked as paid in their system so I can preorder the 6 and get it the same day as my wife's!

     

    EDIT:  Or as stated by cyclone above, I could just add a new line since my Framily is at 9 and then cancel my current line after receiving the phone..  Oh options.  Seems like a lot of work, but if I can't preorder by tomorrow then I may go that route.

  12. LTE and 3G keep time different from each other on the Sprint network.  I remember when Sprint first started firing up LTE they had problems where the LTE was on one time zone, but 3G on another.  And the phone kept changing times depending on the signal.  People were going bonkers.  It was exceptionally bad around Hammond, Indiana.

     

    Yeah, my old home tower in Baraboo, WI had that for probably about a month before they finally fixed it (last November). 

     

    OP - It should get fixed, but it wouldn't hurt to let someone at Sprint know.

  13. Well, the system reset my eligibility so I can now buy on Easy Pay, but with pre-orders online not giving a pickup in store option, can telesales do anything for that? Frankly, this whole middle of the night pre-ordering thing is quite annoying. Many of us don't get the chance we need. Anyone have any ideas?

     

    Lucky!  I had an awful experience via Sprint Chat last night while trying to pay it off.  Long story short, the care rep knew I was trying to pay off my device, but since it was getting somewhat close to their 10:30 central time cutoff, transferred me to a sales rep that couldn't process the payment.  (but the sales rep was terrific.  Very friendly, quick to reply and answered all my questions)

     

    Oh fun stuff!  Oh well.  Getting it resolved now.

  14. I'm on the phone with customer service, and they said eligibility resets in 5 days. I'm going to try to get that pushed up unless telesales can do something.

    Were you able to get this resolved? I am thinking about paying off my easy pay device and doing the same thing, but only if it will work without too much of a hassle for the iPhone release.
