Should have ordered through Verizon. I'll send you a picture of mine on the 21st.Called to change my order to in-store pickup to see if I could get it sooner... Apple isn't even offering in-store pickup as an option anymore, they're so backordered. Oct 5th delivery as of right now.
And lose my unlimited data?! No way!! Oh and #### YOU!!Should have ordered through Verizon.

Why doesn't Apple have 5+ million of these things ready to ship today? It's not their first rodeo.
I can't speak for everyone, but my usage went up when I got an LTE phone, and people I know have reported the same thing. It's faster, so you tend not to worry about what you click on as much. Of course, I have unlimited data still, so I don't worry about a certain amount of usage. If I was on a limited plan I would be cautious what I used it for just because of that.Just because it's faster doesn't mean you'll necessarily use more data.Gave up unlimited data?? With lte I think you need to stay AT&T for data plan alone.You're switching from AT&T right? You were able to accomplish this ordering on the Apple site? Keeping your same same numbers?Wife ordered us one black, one white, both 64GB, through Verizon, which is indicating a 9/21 ship date.
I think I recall Apple giving a 2 wk shipping indication during one of the prior preorder frenzies but then fulfilling close to original ship date.And lose my unlimited data?! No way!!

Yep, Apple is sandbagging.My ex-wife works for one of the distribution centers that Apple uses. Nothing quite like seeing a 30x30 grid of pallets of brand new iPhones.I think I recall Apple giving a 2 wk shipping indication during one of the prior preorder frenzies but then fulfilling close to original ship date.And lose my unlimited data?!

Yea, Mrs. Bats told me to calm down, she told me the same thing as well. There's still hope.
Most months I've only been around 1GB, so going to a 2 GB plan shouldn't be too restrictive for me. Verizon also sends you a notice when you get to 50% and you can bump your plan on a month to month basis if you need to.I can't speak for everyone, but my usage went up when I got an LTE phone, and people I know have reported the same thing.

Thanks. I thought maybe that was the deal with passbook.
Well if you had a shattered screen for as long as I have, you get impatient. Plus new tech toys are exciting! Dontcha think??
when spending $300 on something as stupid as a phone, why not get it sooner rather than later?
Why does it matter other than to say...look at me...I have the newest thing?
Yip. And that's my problem. I'm not due for an upgrade until January. Have to make sure I don't read to many ip6 rumors by then or else I'll end up waiting.
Exactly. I'm an unashamed gadget snob. I bought an Air almost entirely because of other people having them on planes. I might even pay full price for a 5 because I like the look at me factor. I have no need for a mbpro with retina but in this close to buying one just so I can take it to Starbucks and be envied.
b/c if I've already decided to get it and I assume it's a better product than the phone I currently have, I'd rather start using it now than keep using my old one.what's the point of waiting? the price isn't going down.how is it a look at me situation if 99% of the time I'll be using it at home or in my car? I'm more embarassed than anything since I hate Apple. Not many people will see me using this thing anytime soon.you said you haven't made a decision yet. some of us have. who cares? took me 5 minutes to place the order online and it will be delivered to my home on the day it's released.
In my experience - just sell it with an open auction on ebay.I think my first generation iphone sold for 300 bucks when it was 3 years old.Offer to include shipping and offer to close the bidding immediately if someone meets a reserve price of 250. Someone will bid on it. I've sold every iPhone through a standard ebay auction and always gotten more than I should have.
Will I be able to cancel my instant sale and gazelle without being charged?Like they are a backup to the eBay sale.
Yeah, so?
Really? I don't know...phone, text, face time (great for kids if a parent travels), music player, GPS, backup camera for photo and video (and a good one), email, browser, doc/file creator/editor, book reader, game playing, and probably a few other things I'm not thinking of. Seems like a good investment if $300. I don't own anything I use more than my iPhone.
I agree, and especially those of us who use it for our personal life AND so much of our professional life.I spend 2.5 hours every day commuting and using my mobile device. I'd spend double if Apple offered an "iPhone Pro." Seriously.Really?

Did you have a lot of music/movies on there? You have me nervous about my 16GB purchase now
Wife and I both had 16GB. Filled wayyyyy too fast. I use Spotify for music now and don't even have many songs stored on there, but it fills up fast. A lot of it is pictures and movies of my daughter. So many times I have deleted apps or movies or pictures because it was too filled and performance started suffering. Both our iPhones filled like crazy. When I bought it 2 years ago I didn't think I needed much space. This time I couldn't wait to splurge on the biggest. I think 32GB may be fine for us, but I didn't want to take a change this time over a hundred bucks. 16GB would have been a hell no for us. With 64 I won't have to think about it, and I like that. And again, I'm not a dude who stores a ton of crap on there or needs a huge music collection with me at all times (because I'm a spotify user). And I don't have any movies on there at all other than videos of my kid. 16GB is too small for today's average user IMO. 32 is there it's at. 64 to be safe.
so you don't delete off of your phone once it's synced with the cloud?
I have to now. But I'd rather not. Half the fun is having the pics/vids on the phone to look at while traveling, show people, etc.
Still I don't feel I use much space at all, and it's filled way up.Gotcha. Guess I'll have to live with itI have to now. But I'd rather not. Half the fun is having the pics/vids on the phone to look at while traveling, show people, etc.
I think you were thinking it was immediate. It's not. It takes a day or so. So I had 210.58 yesterday before slinging for an hour. This is the latestNext Bill Cycle: 10/06/12Data (MB): 454.38 of UnlimitedMessaging: 85Group Messaging: 180 of UnlimitedVisit us online at www.att.com/DataPlans
When I search for my order status on Verizon it tells me that the order cannot be found. But I did get a confirmation email.Did anybody else order through AT&T?I placed the order at 7am and got my order confirmation stating I'd receive the phone in 9/21. When I go to check my order status on AT&T it still says "processing" and does not lost a shipping date. I did howver receive a text message that said my order was "processed" after noon yesterday, but no other information. So I have no clue when my phone gets here.

thanks, nice summary
How current iPhone users see the iPhone 5I'm so geeking out about this. Feel like a kid on Christmas.

I'm really not sure how Apple (or anyone else, for that matter) is going to blow anybody out of the water with any future phone release. I think we're looking at incremental improvements from here on out and I really doubt we're going to have any "Wow!" moments again.
iPhone 6 will have HD and a much better camera. (here is hoping for at least the above since other phones have these)
You probably would have said the same thing before the iPhone came out. I mean it's just a phone right? What more can they do? Don't underestimate the power of innovation. I think the iPhone 5 is a good bump up, not mind blowing but good added features. Definitely worth it if you have an iPhone 4, and probably worth it if you have a 4S.
Sure, I agree with that. I ordered a 5 and I'm giving Mrs CE my 4S. But even with that said, when I saw what the 5 included, I didn't think "Wow, that's amazing."
eta: they're basically just computers that seem to be maxed out the innovations, and will only just get faster and bigger in storage capacity.
