Ordered mine via vzw online was expecting on the 5th of oct just got a tracking number from FedEx. Itl be deliverd by Monday the first.

great news!

Final update: Both phones are now fully set up, have zero issues and are quite nice. I backed up the iPhone 4's, turned them off, then set up both new phones using those backups. Must say the setup was easy and everything, including all pictures, all music, notes, email boxes, etc., transferred over pretty quickly. I only had to go into my Apple ID payment and add the authorization code and do the same for a few Apps (like Starbucks). All my settings were there as they had been on the previous phone and it was really cool that both phones knew the phone numbers they were supposed to be. I've had no Wifi issues, no email push issues, actually no issues whatsoever. And while the world seems aghast at the New Maps app, it seems quite accurate thus far.

The two old phones are now cleaned up, all data removed, sim cards taken out and are boxed and waiting for shipping to Gezelle.com. I sold them to Gazelle online last night. They were both iPhone 4 16 GB. Both are in flawsless condition and have been in cases since they came out of their box 28 months ago. I paid $199/phone and sold them to Gazelle for $150/apiece. Given I used them for 28 months, that means they cost me $1.75/month to use (not including cell/data/text message charges with AT&T). But at least to me, that's a pretty fantastic return on my investment.

To anyone still waiting, you're going to be really happy with your new phone. They are much lighter than the previous phone and since they are housed in annodized aluminum, I really suggest you put them in a nice protective case. I had ordered CaseMate Cases, which arrived long before the phones did, so the new phones are already enjoying their new colorful homes.

Take care everyone........

Wish I was having such an easy experience! Mine sounds a lot like yours except ... I can't make or receive calls. Everything else is working well. Tried wiping and setting up as a new phone and still no calls. Now trying to restore. Again. Nerds. :-/

When you set up your phone, it should have let you know during the set up process what number it was tied to. If it didn't, I'd suggest you call your cell carrier. They may not have associated the IMEI with your number yet.

One quick bit of advice for anyone STILL waiting to receive theirs: My status on UPS.com said it would be delivered to me Monday, but after speaking with a rep yesterday that said it would be delivered today I was not ahppy with this news. I called customer service again this morning to confirm after seeing my online status not reflect this. The rep I spoke to this morning confirmed I WILL have it today, hopefully by noon. Moral of the story, when in doubt CALL. Don't just go off of the tracking on the site or automated message that just repeats what the site says. Good luck!

Mine says out for delivery for today. 🙂

Aw, yay! It's about time!

Enjoy! Enjoy!

Mines on the truck too! Delivery by 3pm good thing school is until 2. It's waists waiting time.
