This thread has made me LOL. For the OP, I'm sorry you couldn't get any info and I hope you have no problems getting your phone in store on launch day. As far as where the phones are coming from I am on Sprint and they claim they it is in their warehouse, I will know better that if they shipped from there or from Apple when my tracking number gets updated and shows where the shipment originated from. All carriers had to get them from somewhere so of course Apple would be shipping to the carrier but Apple would have to deliver their products to the service provider at least one day before launch so if they are waiting till like the 12th with overnight shipping to get them to the carrier and that's why the employee didn't see anything in stock and and had no other answers for you. I guess we will all just wait and see where the phones are shipped from, here is to hoping wherever it comes from everyone receives theirs in a timely manner :)

jesus christ sooooo much misinformation in this thread. let me make this perfectly clear:

IF you preordered the phone between 10/7 and 10/8 @ 10AM EST then the order will ship on 10/12 or 10/13 to be delivered on 10/14 (which is launch day)

IF you preordered the phone AFTER 10AM EST on 10/8 then orders WILL SHIP BY 10/21 and delivered in 1-2 business days from that point (depending on if you chose overnight or 2 day shipping)QUOTE]


This is not true with AT&T nor Apple, just simply stating, I ordered mine by 1AM on 10/8 not even 15 hours after the pre-order started... after hours of trying to and it arrives between 10/21-10/28

never said it was, which is why the rest of that post was slathered with VZW....

edit: not to mention the title of this thread is Verizon pre-order...

Apple knows how to make these deliveries happen. I'm positive on Friday I will have two shiny new iPhone 4S in my possession. I have a day job so waiting in line is a non-starter. ;)

Great info in your reply, thanks.

I ordered at 10:37am est on 10/8 from vzw. Is it correct to assume vzw will be shipping out phones throughout that period between 10/14 & 10/21??

On a side note: I don't recall anywhere in my vzw pre-order where shipping options were given.

Thanks again for your help.

yes, we will be shipping phones between 10/14 and 10/21 in the same order as which the orders were received.

This thread is live example of why these forums should implement a mini IQ test upon registration and set the minimum IQ score equivalent to a 5 year old. Thus, we wouldn't see such a thread in the first place!

OP, quit crying or cry more somewhere else.

Sprint phones run on Verizon towers with no extra charges

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

As long as there is NO sprint signal at all...otherwise it tries to hang on to that tiny little 1 bar which ends up causing dropped calls. Also, when switching from sprint to verizon towers, during a call it's likely you'll drop that call too. I had sprint for about 2 months one time....switched from vzw to save money, had perfect vzw coverage in my area so I was thinking that hey, save money AND use vzw towers to still have signal would be awesome! NOT the case for me....literally had to stand outside in my driveway and search for a signal with sprint to complete a call...inside was almost no signal and would NOT switch over to vzw towers. They let me out of the contract for free because even the CSR could look up my address and see that sprint sucked in my area..went back to vzw and now i have signal literally everywhere I go.

Hmmm, I have never had a dropped call when moving between a roaming and non-roaming area. Been with Sprint for 9 years and have used my phone in several areas around the country. Overall my experience with them has been excellent. They are also in the process of rolling out their new Vision network, which reallocates network resources for maximum efficiency. I have already noticed speeds of 2161 kbps down and 825 kbps up in my area on 3G.

Why stop there? Throw in a personality test as well to help weed out the people who are unhappy with themselves and as a result act like self-righteous pricks.
