week and two days is very good , hope its good for you the phone

 

[ICEC01D]

Gotcha, thanks for the info. Although I want to make sure I am getting a product with no "reception issues", I hope this press conference is not going to announce anything that stalls the delivery!!

I was finally able to activate the phone today. I backed up my 3GS, activated the 4G (it took about two minutes) and then restored the 4G with the 3GS backup. My 3GS was a 16G model and I was almost out of storage. It's nice to see the utilization showing half full!

As far as operation, I played with the antenna and holding it so I covered the gap, and my signal would drop from three bars to two bars, but that's it. I put on a silicone case that I bought from Fommy just to have something and it didn't drop at all. I didn't notice any camera issues or yellow cast or any of the other problems reported, but it's only been one day

BTW, the first 5 digits of my SN are 88028 if any one is keeping track.
